B-CS police investigate
surge in sunroof thefts
By TRENT LEOPOLD
Staff Writer
Both Bryan and College Station
police said Monday they are continu
ing their investigation into recent T-
top thefts, and they are encouraging
car owners with T-tops to make
stealing them more difficult.
The best advice police can offer
now is to secure the sun roof panels
with locks to make it harder for
theives to steal them.
More than 20 of the sun roof pan
els were reported stolen in College
Station and Bryan in January, and
three more sets were reported stolen
early last week.
Bryan Police Sgt. Choya Walling
recommends owners of T-tops ad
equately secure the panels to prevent
theft.
“The best thing to do is get a lock
lor the panels,’’ Walling said. “After
they get a lock they should then get
an alarm to supplement the lock-”
Walling said too many people use
alarms and don’t have a lock.
“The alarm may go off when
someone breaks in to steal the 1 -top,
but that person can be gone in a mat
ter of minutes,” he said
1 he first thefts, reported during
the week of Jan. 14, came f ront cars
parked on or near Spring Loop in
College Station. Police patrols were
increased in that area to prevent fur
ther thefts.
Twelve more of the sun roof's, va
lued at S7.250, were reported stolen
a week later.
I hree of the cars were parked in
the 400 block of Anderson Street,
two on Southwest Parkway,
I.ongmire Drive and oneoiil |

els also were taken from t
pat ked in Bryan.

Miss Texas A&M will speak
at next Sully’s Symposium
By REBECCA ADAIR
Reporter
1984 Miss Texas A&M Kim Wal
ters will join the ranks of Solly’s
Symposium speakers Wednesday at
noon.
Walters will answer questions
about her experiences as Miss Texas
A&M and attempt to correct many
misconceptions about pageants and
participants.
Walters will also pinpoint the
functions of the MSC Hospitality
Committee, rhe pageant’s sponsor.
The committee is considering the ef
fect of the pageant on the University
as a whole, and whether the $24,000
or so spent on the pageant is worth
it.
Walters said she intends to make
several points in favor of pageant
participants, including the fact that
no winner has ever had a grade-
point ratio of less than 3.2 overall,
including recent winner Sherri Ry-
man who posted around a 3.8.
Talent accounts for 50 percent of
the judging. Beauty is not as signifi
cant as popular opinion holds, and
judging is based more on poise and
appearance, not facial beauty. Wal
ters said the swimsuit competition is
mainlv used to judge physical
