Small-game hunters bag Texas cockroaches

AUSTIN (AP) — For cousins
Mark Warren and David Starr, the
hrillof the hunt doesn’t come when
deer enters their gunsights. The
rill’s in bagging the wily cock-
oach.
] “I feel like I can do more good for

they are armed with squirt guns
filled with insecticidal soap.
The thrill of the hunt, Warren
said, is enhanced by the show the
roaches put on when they kick the
bucket.
“If you hit him pretty good, if you
have a crisp shot right under the
wings, they jump up, turn around
and go in the opposite direction,
kind of like the old targets at the
shooting gallery,” he said.
Warren came up with the idea
when he noticed a bunch of roaches
on the dog food left for his dog.
The thought of roaches walking
on his dog’s food angered Warren
because Pablo, his pet, won a state
Frisbee-catching championship once
and “won me a dinner . . . and a pair
of tennis shoes.”
So he began to look for entertain
ing ways to waste the bugs, then re
membered the two squirt guns he
owns. One looks like a .45-caliber
pistol and the other like a machine
gun.
These days, the two said they pre

near the house.
“We’ve basically overhunted he
re,” Warren said. “We’ll have to have
a bag limit.”
T he largest of their not-so-big
game, he added, was in the range of
1% inches.
“But they look bigger when
they’re charging you,” Starr said.
'Nuclear Monopoly' offers
remedy for exam anxiety
Members of the MSG NOVA
Committee, the organizer of war
games and gaming conventions at
Texas A&M, say they have come
up with a quick and painless rem
edy for first-round exam anxiety.
Nuclear Monopoly is the brain
child of Steven Grape, Mike
Shriro, Mike Kamei and Rick
Lenz. They call it an unofficial
game variant of the popular Par
ker Brothers’ board game.
NOVA will host a teaching ses
sion at 7:30 p.m. in 352 MSC.
Grape says four playing boards
will be set up, allowing about 24
players to play at one time. Grape
says the targeted gamesters are
students undergoing stress from
Q-drop and the first round of ex
ams — people ready to take their
revenge out on someone.
While Nuclear Monopoly uses
basically the same playing rules as
traditional Monopoly, the object
of the game is to control land, be
come a Nuclear Power, then kill
all opposition —all while trying to
skirt the curse of bankruptcy.
Kamei says, “Nuclear Monop
oly is also for frustrated Monop
oly players that want to be able to
destroy their opponents in new
ways.”

MSC Council will discuss
Enrichment Board meeting
Highlights of the Sept. 27
meeting of the Enrichment Fund
Board will be discussed at the Me
morial Student Center Council’s

fundraisers, advises the council
on fundraising methods and aids

tors.

by violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman
and the San Antonio Symphony
Orchestra, also will be presented.
Other reports will concern
