  I saw that critter twice last week over by the music building and made an A on my psychology test :)

  AS and I used to have small talk before my 8 a.m. chemistry class outside of Welch. Of course, never any religion or politics, it was strictly Longhorn sports and new restaurants.

  just for the record it is a white squirrel and not an albino. Albinos have red eyes because they lack pigment. These squirrels have been around a while. I used to spot them back when I was in school. Class of '82.

  There's gotta be a family tree of white squirrels - they've been around for awhile now - I did my bachelor's 89-93 and the white squirrel was there...

  I saw the squirrel twice around finals when I was a student, once by the Union and another time near the stadium. Both semesters I got a 4.0! That squirrel is definitely lucky. Hook 'em!

  The white squirrels were there when I graduated in 1995. Pretty awesome the first time you see one.

  I saw an albino squirrel my freshman year on my way to an impossible exam which I probably deserved to fail but which I somehow made an A on. The squirrel is definitely mystical!

  I saw the albino squirrel on my last day as an undergraduate on my way to my very last class. It was like he was saying goodbye!

  Never saw an albino squirrel, but used to enjoy feeding those in the trees around Gregory Gym walking to class from Jester. Some were pretty used to students. More than a few would jump on your back while you were feeding others on the ground. Had sharp little claws.

  The squirrel looks more like a blond with golden highlights.

  I used to see an albino squirrel WAY back in 1986! I would sit outside near the ROTC building having lunch, and it would run around. I'm pretty sure I have a picture somewhere.

  I am a new PhD student. I saw the squirrel last Tuesday. It actually walked up to me and started to step on my shoe. He seems fearless!
