The three then went up to the second floor of Willcox where, with some difficulty, they open ed the (.anister. "My friend brought the con tainer over, and we could nut open it. so I had it in my hand and squeezed it and powder flew all over the place, and I dropped the canister." he said. The canister was the size of a "size-D battery pack, about five inches tall, three inches round and one inch thick." liadillo said. "At first nothing happened, and we were joking around.

"Manuel came around 10:30 — I guess he was looking for beer or drugs because we found out later that he was searching everyone's room, everyone who is in the program, and not just ours." he said. "If we had kept the stuff in a regular college student's mom they would never have known about it,” he added. A random search of a room is not regular practice, however. Pacheco said. "We went to the room at 10:30 because we had a tip there had been some weapons there the night before." he said. After entering the room. Pacheco and Tilby found the weapons, he added. Hadillo was kicked out of the IIKP program a few months ago for a drinking violation and is not a good source of informa tion concerning the case since he is one of the main suspects. Pachecu said. The truck from which the ar ticles were stolen belongs to a University student. Tilby said, lie declined to give a name. A license plate check revealed that Madison Myers is the truck's owner, however. Tilby said he has interviewed the owners of the truck, and the information he has gathered will be submitted to the military.

He knew something peculiar was hap pening at 10, however, when he heard security guards talking over walkie-talkies in the hallway, he said. Freshman Bradford Silver man. also a second-floor resi dent, said he was asked to leave his room at 10 and that no ex planation was given for the evacuation. "No one knew what it was about for quite some time," he said. Silverman said students found out what the chemical was when they overheard some police officers discussing the issue This is when the residents learned that the chemical spilled on their floor was in fact a concentrated powder form of tear gas. he said Although the second floor was evacuated, residents on the first and third floors were not asked to leave their rooms V 1 The Saga Continues WEDNESDAY NIGHT at TRACK TOWN PIZZA Get a medium (12”) One-Ingredient Pizza for ONLY . . . tMl h) dw «fMi*ii Why settle for less . . . than the BEST1?!
