Park officials discovered the gazelles' remains Saturday, said Mel Richardson, the zoo's chief veterinarian. A witness who says she saw workers kill the dogs said about 25 park employees with guns de scended on the animals. "It was the most bizarre thing I've seen in my life," said Elaine Davis, who lives in a high-rise apartment adjacent to the zoo. "All of a sudden, this fellow shoots the first dog and he doesn't quite make it — the dog was still yelping around — and another fellow pulls a gun and kills it," Davis said. "The other dogs were trying to get over the fence and they were just picking them off." Park officials said the dogs posed a danger to workers and other animals. "We've had dogs on the prop erty in the last three weeks twice," Richardson said. "But they were able to get out before we could catch them." "If they did get loose in the zoo, there are a fair number of unprotected animals that would have been in danger," he said. The bodies of the dogs were being held in a freezer storage area until they could be collected by Animal Control officials, Richardson said.

Unlike A&M, the University of Texas has responded to the overwhelming number of appli cants by raising their admissions standards for students ranking in the 16th to 25th percentile of their high school class. Effective this summer high school students in this category who are planning to attend UT must score at least 1050o:l SAT or 25 on the ACT. UT's current requiremer: students in the 16th to 25t!i:i centile category is a lOOOorj SAT or a 24 on the ACT,;:: pared to A&M's 800 minir; SAT score or 19 minimum,« Pra score.
