Cat Eater?

Calgary (Canada): An unidentified student at the Mount Royal Junior College at Calgary claims he had to skin and eat two eats because he had no money for food. University authorities are investigating the claim.

MOST of his £20 a month allowance at university has; to go on rent. His parents, who have three other children to support, cannot afford more, he says.

John X, who is 21, said he stalked the first cat for 15 minutes before cornering it behind a dustbin.

"I cooked it with vegetables and then ate it," he said. "It tasted like chicken."

A week later he bought a scrawny cat from a Calgary pet shop and cooked and ate that.

A Calgary bank heard of his plight and has lent him £200, repayable when he has finished his education.

"That will see me through the rest of the year without having cat on the menu," said John X.

But some Canadian students, it seems, have money to spend on luxuries.

At least on Saskatoon City, Saskatchewan police officer believes that university students are far more involved in prostitution than in drug trafficking. Raids made by the Morality Squad on known "bawdy" houses have resulted in arrests of university men.

One inspector commented; "I believe that the university men who visit these places are just too shy to approach the girls they know. It is simpler for them to let themselves be approached by a prostitute."
