Both were in stable condition at Charity Hospital. Another bystander, Gary Bart ley, 20, of New Orleans, suffered powder bums on his eye. After interviewing more than 30 witnesses police still were un certain how the shooting started, Joly said, and the investigation was not closed. Johnson said it started with a scuffle between the officer and a chaperon who was helping to clear crowds from the St. Augustine High School band of New Orleans. “Then the shot went off and I felt the pain,” he said. “There won’t be any more performing at Mardi Gras for me.” A hospital spokesman said doc tors decided to leave the bullet in Bartley because it was lodged too close to a main artery in his groin, making surgery dangerous. Bartley, a sophomore at Nicholls State University in Thi- bodaux, La., said he heard a shot then felt the pain. “I thought I might be dying,” he said. “Did you ever see Jack Nicklaus tee-off? I felt like I was three feet in front of him. ” Last week, another high school marching band was involved in a fight with spectators who smashed their instruments. Five persons were arrested in that incident, and bands began surrounding them selves with chaperones to help separate the members from the surging crowds. The parading will continue through Tuesday, Mardi Gras, when downtown and suburban streets become jammed with more than a million “maskers” drinking, partying and dancing in the streets in the final celebration before the austere period of Lent. y e rno£' “Even Mickey gets his tux i” GQ Formals Tuxedo Sales & Rentals 334 Jersey • 693-0768 (Next to Bother’s Bookstore in College Station) Chili cook-off “Goldy” David Kinkaid, “Orville” Brad Lindsey and “Porkie” Wayne Young pre pare chili in their award winning style at Hart and McFaddin Halls’ Chili Cook-off at the Quonset Huts Saturday.
