Tip leads campus police
to turf stolen from Kyle Field
AS
By Carolyn Garcia
Staff Writer
An anonymous tip given to
University Police has led officers
to a batch of old Astroturf, stolen
from Kyle Field last week.
Police on Friday recovered the
artificial turf, along with two road
signs, out of three rooms in Wal
ton Hall’s K ramp.
The two students willingly gave
up the property and volunteered
to make restitution to the Athletic
Department, said Bob Wiatt, di
rector of security and University
police. The department has cho
sen not to press criminal charges,
he said.
“The young men’s attitude was
very cooperative,” Wiatt said.
“They didn’t think the stuff
was worth anything,” he said.
“They just wanted a little me
mento from Kyle Field.”
The matter has, however, been
turned over to student affairs.
The tip was given to police fol
lowing late-night and early-morn
ing arrests of five students who
were caught stealing artificial turf
from Kyle Field by a stakeout unit
of the University Police, Wiatt
said.
The students were caught in
two separate incidents between
11:45 p.m. Thursday and 12:50
a.m. Friday. They were stealing
squares of old Astro Turf from
Kyle Field where a new surface is
being put in, he said.
These students also were re
leased without charges being filed
because the Athletic Department
did not plan to press criminal
charges.
Wiatt said the police received
an anonymous tip Friday morn
ing that several rooms in Walton
Hall had some artificial turf in
them.

Kyle Field’s resurfacing is expected to be finished by August l,says

AUSTIN (AP) — Legislation to
lower the bond Texaco Inc. must
post in its multibillion-doHar battle
with Pennzoil was endorsed by a
Senate committee Tuesday after
Texaco’s chairman said it was his
company’s only chance to promptly
escape bankruptcy proceedings.
Texaco chairman Alfred C. De-
Crane Jr. said the bill would reduce
to a maximum of $ 1 billion the bond
his company must post to appeal its
$11 billion loss to Pennzoil. Current
law sets that appeal bond at the size
of the judgment, or about $ 11 billion
in this case, he said.
nzoil’s agreement to acquire a large
stake in Getty Oil Co.
An appeals court subsequently re
trial decisic
duced that decision by $2 billion, but
it let the judgment stand.
Under current state law, a de
fendant who loses a court judgment
must post a bond in the full amount
of the judgment, plus interest,
he appeals.

Pennzoil lawyer Joe Jamail said
the bill won’t help Texaco now, be
cause the company voluntarily
sought protection from creditors on
April 12 through bankruptcy laws.
Jamail said the bond was large
“because it’s the biggest theft in the
history of the world.”
Jamail accused Texaco of stealing
more than a billion barrels of oil
from Pennzoil.
In November 1985, a Houston
court awarded Pennzoil $10.5 billion
in damages after deciding that Tex
