When Johnston arrived at his of fice, 334A Blocker, Tuesday morn ing he found that it had been bur glarized. “Someone apparently dropped into his (Johnston’s) office for the exams,” Wiatt said. “None of the ex ams were in the office so whoever is looking is still without an exam.” The ceiling tiles in the office were kicked in, Wiatt said. “There was no damage (to the of fice) except for the ceiling tiles being broken,” Johnston said. “Apparently no one got inside the desk. It was locked.” Johnston also said someone bur glarized Blocker 334B late Monday or early Tuesday looking for the exam. Wiatt said the two rooms are joined together and if one is broken into access easily can be gained into the other. University Police are continuing their investigation of the incidents. In an apparently unrelated inci dent, a professor reported to Uni versity Police that somebody took the posted grade sheets for fresh man chemistry off the bulletin board in Heldenfels April 22. By JIM HINEY Reporter Having trouble with your Macin tosh computer? Trying to find some one who can provide software and help you understand what you are doing? Well, look no further. Texas A&M now has a Macintosh users’ group. Entomology research scientist Gale Smith, one of the group’s founders, says the purpose of tne group is to provide a place where Macintosh owners can meet to solve problems, trade information and re ceive public domain software. Public domain software are pro grams that are made available to the public, at no charge, by the people who wrote them. The Apple Com- npany ha sortium of 25 universities to develop public domain software. Among the schools involved are Stanford and the University of Texas. A users group, such as the A&M group, is a vital link in getting the software to users, Smith says. “Probably the best distribution E rocess is through a users group,” e says. Smith founded the group after his own search for a users group on campus. “I was looking myself to find a us ers group on campus,” Smith says, “and there wasn’t one.” • Smith says that he had already ac cumulated a large number of public domain programs, so he seemed like for the cost of the disk. He says the logical person to start a Macin- group meetings will be used to dis- tosh users’ group. tribute software to members. During his search for a group, Smith crossed paths with several other Macintosh owners who also were searching for a users’ group. Out of those meetings the Texas A&M Macintosh Users Group was born. Because the Macintosh is rela tively easy for people who have little computer training to use. Smith says the meetings will be geared toward the non-tecnnical user. Group members will be able to buy additional software programs from the users’ group, and Smith says members will be charged only Although the group has no imme diate plans to seek University recog nition, Smith says they probably will in the future. He says he also hopes to set up software distribution through the Sterling C. Evans Li brary. Anyone can join the group for $10 per year. Most of the money col lected will be used to increase the group’s library of public domain software. The group is non-profit and not connected in any way with the University or any computer com pany. It is completly self-supporting. Soap opera star gets good reception By CHOYCE ELSIK Reporter Amidst an array of camera flashes and hundreds of screaming women trying to shove their way to the front of the stage, Michael O’Leary, better known to “The Guiding Light” fans as Rick Bauer, smiled shyly when an announcer asked a Post Oak Mall audience Saturday, “Does anyone know who this is?” O’Leary, who was brought to Col lege Station by Soaps Alive!, Post Oak Mall and radio station KORA, participated in a question and an swer session about himself and the other cast members from the show and even asked one woman in the audience to come up on stage to help him demonstrate a soap opera kiss. One woman was so excited by his presence she asked O’Leary to pose for a picture holding her baby. When O’Leary was given a ma roon and white Texas A&M t-shirt, he was deluged with screams from the women in the audience to take off his other shirt, which he finally did with just a little hesitation. There was an even louder roar when O’Leary said he was single and did not have a girlfriend. O’Leary was dressed casually in a yellow shirt, faded jeans and cowboy boots. However, the 26-year-old star not only stars daily in “The Guiding Light,” but has starred in “T.J. Hooker,” co-starred in “Gimme A Break,” been featured in “CHIPS” and “The Greatest American Hero” and also has had parts in various films and theater productions. He said that he also has worked as an usher for “The Price is Right” and “Three’s Company” and has an swered telephones for the soap “The Young and the Restless.” “At ‘The Price is Right’, I was the one who wrote the nametags,” O’Leary said. “If anyone wants to be on ‘The Price is Right,’ I know how they do it. They almost always pick military people and if you’re a pretty girl, you ve got it made.” O’Leary said he had no idea that he would one day star in a soap op era. He said that he just told his agent he was interested in the job, they sent him in for a screen test and three weeks later he was in New York working on “The Guiding Light.” He said that he has been on the show for about two years, and that he has no plans to leave it, which greatly excited the audience.
