Group spots Albino squirrel
Tara Nieuwesteeg
Daily Reporter
The NT albino squirrel has
survived the worst of winter
with nuts to spare.
In fact, he was sighted
Wednesday afternoon, ac-
cording to T.J. Zambrano, NT
Alumnus and Albino Squirrel
Preservation Society president
and founder.
The society sold albino
squirrel-themed T-shirts,
sweatshirts and stuffed ani-
mals Wednesday at a table in
front of the University Union.
"They're popular," Zam-
brano said, noting that the
shirts were $10 each.
The society, founded in
2002, is over 400 members
strong and dedicated to rais-
ing awareness about the albino
squirrel that lives on campus.
The current squirrel, iden-
tified in April, is the second
albino sighted at NT. It re-
mains nameless to date, but
the society encourages people
to submit name ideas. Some
submitted names include "Mr.
Bojangles," "Rico Suave" and
"Vanilla lee." The fate of the
squirrel's predecessor, Thelo-
nius, remains unknown.
The albino squirrel has be-
come somewhat of a campus-
wide icon. The Design Works
center, located in the Union, cre-
ated albino squirrel Christmas
ornaments over the holidays.
Carol Wilkinson, Design Works
manager, said the ornaments
sold out in an hour and a half.
The Eagle Images copy cen-
ter, also located in the Union,
sells photographs of the al-
bino squirrel for 89 cents each.
Roy Nance, manager of the
copy center, photographed the
squirrel and said sometimes
they sell as many as 10 a day.
An NT alumnus recently
donated a squirrel house, al-
though there are no reported
residents as of yet.
The squirrel seems to be
oblivious to his celebrity status
DAVID MINTON/NT DAILY
and doesn't even seem to real-
ize he's not a regular squirrel.
There are no signs of the
regular brown squirrels har-
boring any jealousy.
"We feed all squirrels,"
said Zambrano. "No discrimi-
nation. He's just unique."

Protest
from page 1
"This is where we break
away from the republicans."
Many students were not
so much concerned about
the message as they were
about how it was presented.
"I do understand in some
part where they are coming
from," Jorge Luna, Dallas
junior, said. "But I think it
could have been handled in
a better way."
The Young Conservatives
said they feel the event was
Faculty
successful, and the organi-
zation achieved their objec-
tive.
"I see a ton of good com-
ing out of this," said Chris
Brown, Fort Worth junior
and Young Conservatives
of Texas chairman. "They're
here, they're talking to us,
we're talking to them."

phrased and the negative
press continues on an almost
daily basis, one would begin
to wonder what motivations
there might be," van Tassell
said Wednesday. "My hope
is that all members of the
university family will be
focused on moving forward.
"I trust that each of us
recognize that no individ-
ual is infallible, and that
each individual makes mis-
takes, no matter our level of
assignment."
The letter was also cop-
ied to Bobby Ray, chairman
of the Board of Regents;
Chancellor Lee Jackson;
Deborah Leliaert, associate
vice chancellor for commu-
nications and marketing;
Jana Dean, secretary to the
Board of Regents; the Senate
Executive Committee mem-
bers; the Daily and Johnson.
