DESOTO — The teen-age com-
into somei Ler whiz whose whereabouts baf-
pd investigators for nearly a month
is been found in good condition,
though he is under a doctor’s care
the Dallas area, a private inves-
gator said late Thursday.
Investigator Bill Dear, who has
len searching for James Dallas
gbert III since his bizarre disap-
larance from Michigan State Uni-
rsity Aug. 15, told reporters he
iceived a phone call Thursday and
at he and his staff flew to an undis-
osed location and picked Egbert
Jatadingy room around 5 p.m.
He said the 16-yeaivold computer
ajor with an IQ of 190 was dirty
id had lacerations under his chin
id left elbow but physically was in
wd condition.
Dear was secretive about what
id happened to the boy during the
me he was missing and would not
ly specifically where the boy was
icated, although he did say it was
the Dallas area.
The boy has undergone a tre-
lendous ordeal. He’s only 16 and
ehope this ends quickly so he can
gain a normal life,’’ Dear said.
Dear, who held a news confer-
nceathis mammoth DeSoto home,
aid he had had a Lear jet on
iandby for three days before he got
iephone call telling him where the
y could be found.
Dear said that the boy phoned
im three times within a 30-minute
eriod earlier this week and that the
tudent was crying intermittently.
He said he heard a man’s voice in
lie background during the calls that

estigator said a $5,000 reward he
Iferedfor information about Egbert
ns never claimed.
Dear said when investigators
The boy’s grandmother said late
Thursday, “We don’t know when he
(Egbert) will be home. He is in a
hospital and will be hospitalized for
a while.”
Dear indicated the boy’s parents
might fly to Dallas Friday.
With a dearth of solid clues,
myriad theories had been spun
about Egbert’s disappearance —
many inspired by his somewhat
bizarre lifestyle.
The young man, who finished
high school in two years, was known
to be active in homosexual groups
on the MSU campus.
He was described as a devotee of
an intellectual fantasy game called
“Dungeons and Dragons,” which
has a cult-like following at many col
leges, hut Dear said the game had
nothing to do with Egbert’s disap
pearance, which was shrouded with
an aura of silence and mystery from
the start.
But the boy’s grandmother re
jected such speculation. “He was
not playing a game with everybody
and we never once thought so,” she
said.

Tech trip
By ELLEN EIDELBACH
Battalion Reporter
Student government passed a bill
at Wednesday’s meeting to allot the
Memorial Student Center Travel
Committee 42 student tickets and
one non-student ticket to the Texas
Tech-Texas A&M football game
Oct. 6.
Kyle Sears, spokesman for the
Travel Committee, said the commit
tee wanted to include the student
tickets in a round-trip bus service
which the committee plans to offer
students. The trip would include a
ticket to the game. Greyhound bus
service and one night’s lodging at
Holiday Inn, Sears said.
The one non-student ticket is for a
staff adviser, who is required to go
on MSC-sponsored trips, he said.
The trip fare will be $65, not in
cluding meals. Sign-up for the serv
ice will be on Sept. 24, Sears said.
Other business at the student
government meeting was the elec
tion of a new vice president of ex
ternal affairs due to Jeb Hensarling’s
resignation.
Cheryl Swanzy was elected by se
cret ballot, defeating one other
nominee, Lance Wright. Both are
sophomores.
Student government preaident,
Ronnie Kapavik, told meeting
members they could expect to see a
new sign around the MSC.
A bill passed last spring will allow
a sign asking people not to walk on
the grass surrounding the MSC to
be put up, Kapavik said.
Student government has also
made plans for a blood drive Oct.
9-11. People interested in donating
blood should sign up the week be
fore.

The black sheep of Canadian liquors.
There's a breed of men with gypsy blood. Like these
men, Yukon Jack is a black sheep, a liquor that goes
its own way.
Soft-spoken and smooth, Yukon Jack is unlike any
Canadian spirit you've ever tasted. Its hundred-proof
potency simmers just below the surface.
Straight, on the rocks or mixed, Yukon Jack is a taste born
of hoary nights when lonely men struggle to keep their
fires lit and their cabins warm.
