Oops: College exams already had all the answers

VIENNA

Students in Austria sitting down to take university entrance exams this week found themselves with a guaranteed pass — at least for a minute or two. The answers already were filled in.

The University of Salzburg said 144 would-be psychology students were given wrong envelopes Tuesday. Instead of the normal tests, they were handed copies with answers meant for the professors grading them.

The exams quickly were collected.

Paul Lengenfelder of the university’s psychology department said Thursday that the students will be re-tested next month.

Woman accused of shoplifting $144 in eye shadow

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.

An Arkansas woman whose mug shot shows her in heavy aqua and maroon eye shadow is accused of shoplifting $144 in makeup.

Police in Fayetteville, Arkansas, arrested 31-year-old Brandy Allen, accusing her of stuffing handfuls of eye shadow into her purse Monday.

Officers said that, after being confronted, Allen went on a profanity-laced tirade and tried to damage makeup as she pulled it out of her purse so the items would appear used.

The Washington County jail said Wednesday that Allen was released on $830 bond on charges of shoplifting and disorderly conduct.

Jailers did not have a record of whether Allen had a lawyer. A telephone number could not be found for the woman in Fayetteville.
