Live Entertainment: The great Yale moose mystery NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Some Yale University students, who were just "moosing” around recently, found out the school president fs a man who takes his mousse seriously. The students, who called themselves the Moose Liberation Army, stole a stuffed moose head from the dining hall of Yale’s Ezra Stiles College. The moose had been named in honor of Yale President A. Bartlett Giamatti, a former maste rof Stiles. The MLA demanded in a ransom note that Giamatti cancel mid term exams in order to save his namesake from being eaten. Replied the president, who refused to cancel any tests, "Let them eat mousse!’’ But while Giamatti was joking, the present master of Stiles Col lege, Dr. Heinrich von Staden, was takeing the theft more seriously and warned the MLA that both city and university police had been called in on the moose-napping. That apparently discouraged the culprits, as the moose head was returned. —Collegiate Medlines BACKSTAGE: Guitar player Lyle Lovett performs Friday and Saturday. Cover is $1.
