LAWTON, Okla. — A Vietnam veteran who drove a 26-ton self-
propelled howitzer down the main streets of this Army post city was in
t* 1 a mental health center Sunday and FBI agents investigated the bizarre
[ IVVltheft.
The man, identified as Larry Joe Sales, 29, kept police, sheriff s
deputies and Highway Patrol troopers at bay Saturday during a chase
that lasted more than an hour.
Sales’ wife called police Friday night and said her husband had left
the house, telling her he had to get some important papers and “go to
Vietnam.” She said he had been under treatment recently at the
Veterans Administration Medical Center psychiatric ward in Oklaho
ma City.
After Sales was arrested, with the help of tear gas, he told police he
remembered nothing about the rampage. He said the last thing he
knew he was in bed at home. Deputy Sgt. Jay Lowell said.
Lowell said the man was “extremely cooperative and a little bit
ashamed when it was over.’’
The 155 mm howitzer was unarmed and was sitting in a motor pool
maintenance section at Fort Sill, an artillery training center, when the
man somehow got into the fenced compound, Army spokesman Jon
Long said.
It rolled through the base, knocking down fences before rumbling
onto Lawton streets.

making his own doors with that tank.”

The Department of Intramural
Athletics is trying to stop scheduling
intramural games during Silver
Taps.
“We’re attempting to stop such
games at least over at the intramural
complex,” said Dennis Corrington,
director of intramurals.
“We haven’t looked at the possi
bility of not scheduling the indoor
Jewelry

dorm theft
University Police are investigating
the theft of $2,000 worth of jewelry
from a dormitory room last
Thursday.
The jewelry, all 14-karat gold, was
discovered missing from a Krueger
Hall resident’s jewelry box at about 7
p.m., police said.
There were no signs of forced en
try and nothing else in the room was
bothered, including another jewelry
box which was sitting out on a desk
police said.
games like volleyball and basket
ball,” he said.
Corrington said that the schedul
ing of events during Silver Taps, a
memorial ceremony held for Aggies
who have died, was an oversight.
Last spring the student senate
changed the frequency of Silver Taps
from the Tuesday following a stu
dent’s death to the first Tuesday of
each month.
“This is the first year they’ve sche
duled this type of Silver Taps,” Cor
rington said. “I don’t know why it
(complaints) didn’t happen with soft-
hall last spring, but it’ll be easy to
schedule. We’ll be able to do it with
out any problems.”
Corrington said he looked into the
situation after a student came in and
talked to him about the scheduling.
“A gentleman, not representing
anyone but himself, came in and vi
sited with me about it,” he said. “I
told him we’d look into it and see
what we can do to avoid it (schedul
ing games during Silver Taps.)
“I talked to Dr. Koldus the next
day and he said they should go ahead
and try to change it,” Corrington
said.
Eric Langford, vice president for
student services, said he also spoke
with Corrington about the problem.
A Battalion editorial also criticized
the dual scheduling.
