AUSTIN (AP) — National testing experts
are worried that the theft of 290 Medical
College Admission Tests from the Univer
sity of Texas campus could breach the integ
rity of future exams because the stolen doc
uments were the newest version of the
standardized tests.
"This is a big deal because it's a new test
ing program," said Karen Mitchell, director
of the exam's testing program for the Asso
ciation of American Medical Colleges,
MCAT's developer and owner.
"This is very dramatic," she said. "We
have never had a theft like this. It's impossi
ble to say how this will compromise the fall
test."
UT police said the exam booklets were
taken from the school's testing center some
time between late Saturday and early Sun
day.
However, none of the 262 answer sheets
filled out by prospective medical students,
who took the SVa-hour exam Saturday, were
stolen. Officials said none of the test takers
will have to repeat the exam.
Saturday was the first time in 14 years
that a completely new version of the MCAT
exam was distributed.
The University of Texas was one of 400
college campuses that administered the test
on Saturday.
UT police said they were following "good
leads" but still had no suspects in the case.
"The last time the test underwent major
revisions was in 1977," Mitchell said. "It has
taken several years to develop, and a great.
great deal of work has gone into developing
it."
According to police reports, burglars
forced open a window at the school's test
ing center and took the exams from a locked
storage room.
Two years ago, law exams were stolen by
a UT employee, said Chris Funke, a univer
sity police investigator. The staff member
was caught selling the exams and fired.
The national administrators of the test,
American College Testing (ACT), of Iowa
City, Iowa, sent an expert in test security to
Austin to assist local authorities, the Austin
American-Statesman reported Tuesday.

LANCASTER, Texas (AP) — A
gunman wounded one police of
ficer and held others in a stand
off for almost nine hours Tues
day inside a house before he was
fatally shot.
The burglary suspect was shot
by police tactical officers as he
ran from the rear of the one-
story home with a rifle about 7
p.m. The house was ablaze, but
it was unclear whether a fire be
gan from smoke and tear gas
canisters police had used during
the standoff.
A Dallas police officer, identi
fied as Gary Smith, was in good
condition at Baylor Hospital after
the gunman shot him in the
shoulder two hours earlier dur
ing negotiations.
The unidentified suspect "sus
tained one shot in the head and
is deceased," Dallas police Sgt.
Jim Chandler said.
Five other officers had been
pinned for five hours before they
were rescued by National
Guardsmen in an armored vehi
cle.

The standoff began about
10:30 a.m. when police re
sponded to the burglary call in
this southern Dallas suburb.
The gunman opened fire
when officers arrived, hitting
some of their squad cars, but not
the officers. Police returned fire.
The Crime Prevention Unit
of the University Police De
partment offers these tips on
auto theft prevention.
Several pickup trucks have
been stolen from campus in
the past week.
Until the thieves are appre
hended, everyone should
take added precautions to se
cure their vehicles.
Anti-theft devices are not
infallible, but some are good
enough to earn discounts on
auto-theft insurance premi
ums.
Here are some examples of
anti-theft devices that should
foil the amateur and hamper
thepro:
□ An armored collar is an
excellent way to avoid theft. A
metal shield locks around the
steering column and covers
the ignition.
□ A kill switch is like hav
ing a second ignition switch.
The vehicle won't start unless
a hidden switch is activated.
□ An alarm system can
alert someone should the ve
hicle be tampered with or
jolted.
□ A fuel switch closes a
valve that cuts off the fuel
supply.
(_) A crook lock is a bar that
locks the steering wheel to the
brake pedal and should be
made of case-hardened steel.
Always park with the wheel
turned sharply to the left or
right toward the curb.
Anything you can do to
slow the thief down can lead
to his arrest or discourage
ment.
Remember to report imme
diately any suspicious activity
you may observe in and
around automobiles.
For more information about
auto theft prevention, contact
the University Police Crime
Prevention Unit at 845-8900 or
845-6712.
