Police say two African-American men entered a Circle K store in the 2800 block of north Texas Avenue in Bryan around 3 a.m. on Tuesday, April 17. One man stayed near the front counter, while the other confronted the clerk in the back of the store. Police said one of the men threat ened the clerk with a metal pipe, made him lie on the floor, and stole his wallet and watch, while the other emptied the register. The men also grabbed a rack of cigarettes, containing approximately 150 packs, and fled around the north side of the building, according to police reports. A detailed description is available for only one of the men. He is de scribed as a 6-foot tall, 145-pound African-American man in his 30s with wiry Afro-style hair, a beard and a gold tooth. Bryan detectives report the sus pects were familiar with the opera tions of the store and that they prob ably parked a vehicle on the north side of the store. This week the Bryan Police De partment and Crime Stoppers needs your help in identifying those re sponsible for this robbery. If you have information that could be helpful, call Crime Stop pers at 775-TIPS. When you call, Crime Stoppers will assign you a coded number to protect your iden tity. If your call leads to an arrest and grand jury indictment, Crime Stop pers will pay you up to $ 1,000 in cash. Crime Stoppers also pays cash for information on any felony crime or the location of a wanted fugitive.

Two men bitten by Gulf sharks ARANSAS PASS (AP) — One of two men bitten by sharks in the Gulf of Mexico this weekend says he’ll fish from a boat from now on. Jimmy Allen, 18, of Aransas Pass, and an unidenti fied surfer were bitten off of Mustang Island, but au thorities said neither victim was seriously injured and there is no cause for alarm. Allen said a shark bit him in about seven feet of water between two sandbars where he was fishing for speckled trout about 1:30 p.m. Sunday near Port Aran sas. “I f H I felt his skin rub against my leg before he attacked me, so I guess I made him mad.

By then, I was getting out of there.” He didn’t see the shark, but said he recognized the texture of shark skin from his experience shark fishing. Allen said he swam for shore, about 50 yards away. “When I got back to the beach, I didn’t know I was cut, until I saw the blood,” Allen said. He described his injuries as “sort of like razor blade cuts” on a five-inch area of his right calf. They did not require stitches, but he said he plans to have a tetanus shot. —Jimmy Allen shark attack victim Allen said he doesn’t intend to wade-fish any more. “I’ll probably go out there in a little boat,” Allen said.

The chances are so remote that you will be bitten by a shark that we don’t put out any warning.” McDonald’s serves lunch in school SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Usually, the last place a high school principal wants to find students at lunchtime is hanging out at a fast food restau rant. But it’s OK at Holy Cross High School, where the nearest McDon ald’s is right on the property — a first in the nation, the company says. Like most ideas, the on-campus McDonald’s was born of necessity. Holy Cross wasn’t making any money on its cafeteria. The fare — surplus rice and cheese and canned food — wasn’t making much head way with the kids. So a local McDonald’s franchisee whose son attends the school pro posed bringing Ronald McDonald to the kids. “At first I thought it was a crazy idea,” said franchisee Richard Con treras. “But the more I thought about it, the more I thought I could make it work.” McDonald’s Holy Cross opened Monday, staffed by McDonald’s em ployees dressed in blue McDonald’s uniforms and served in McDonald’s pended on federal subsidies and sur plus cheese and rice to help pay gro cery bills. But that ended two years ago after students complained aboul the food, Mullett said. containers. Contreras said he was motivated by word of the school’s financial plight. Principal Peter Mullett said school trustees faced a $50,000 budget defi cit, half of which came from operat ing the cafeteria. The Catholic school had de- Last year the school tried to oper ate the cafeteria without any subsi- diesand discovered that wholesale food from cans was just as unappe tizing to the students.

Football woes receive priority over reforms AUSTIN (AP) — School finance reform and welfare funding didn't get the same attention from many lawmakers that tlie possible breakup of the Southwest Conference has, say advocates of social programs. “I’m appalled,” said Mary Dees, spokeswoman for the Texas Mental Health Consumers. She and other activists say law makers have dragged their feet on many issues, the Austin American- Statesman reported Tuesday. For example, it took three special sessions for the Legislature to an swer a Texas Supreme Court order to change the public education fund ing system. And the welfare budget is so troubled that Medicaid pay ments recently were suspended for 10 days. But when the University of Texas and Texas A&M University said they were thinking about leaving the SWC, many lawmakers quickly huddled. Their response showed the peculiar priorities in Texas, said Dees and others. “When we do this kind of thing; we end up looking rather frivolous, said Genevieve Hearon, past presi dent of the Texas Alliance for the Mentally Ill.
