The first-ever WTAW roof-a-
thon to raise money for the Muscu
lar Dystrophy Association is now his
tory, but it ended on a good note.
WTAW program director Ron El
liot was pleased with the support
from the people of Bryan and Col
lege Station, although donations
came far short of the $15,()()() goal
Elliot had set for the event.
“We needed everyone to support
and they haven’t let us down,” Elliot
said.
Donations accumulated over the
week-long effort were approxi
mately $6,200 said Greg Yarbo
rough, manager of the 7-Eleven con
venience store at Briarcrest and 29th
in Bryan, site of the roof-a-thon.
Almost $2,800 of the total was re
ceived through an auction Saturday
morning- Merchandise for the auc
tion was donated by more than 80 lo
cal merchants, Elliot said.
Donations were being taken at all
area 7-Eleven stores so a total figure
will not be available until Tuesday or
Wednesday, Yarborough said.
Elliot said one possible reason the
goal was not reached was that this
was the first event of this sort and
problems they encountered had to

When asked if there will be other
roof-a-thons, Elliot said a second,

Unlocked car target of theft

In regard to automobile thefts
and vandalism. Boh Wiatt, director
of security and traffic for the Uni
versity Police, says for the most part,
the code holds true.
Wiatt said 76 reports of burglary
of a motor vehicle nave been turned
in since Sept. 1, 1983. Burglary of a
motor vehicle includes breaking into
a locked vehicle, removing property
from an unlocked vehicle or si-
of automobiles has been reported 71
times in the past year.
Wiatt said vandalism usually con
sists of someone breaking radio an
tennas, maliciously scraping the
paint finish or breaking car win
dows.
“It is not such a problem that 1
would say it is a crime wave, hut even
one or two is entirely too many to
condone,” he said.
Rather than 76 individuals break
ing into 76 cars, Wiatt said it’s
usually only one or two persons who
break into multiple numoers of cars.
One of the lx*st opportunitio
theft is an unlocked car.
“You just cannot be naive j
think that nobody is going to rip
off because they will,” Wiatt saio
