'They steal everything, even if it is nailed down,” said Roberta Doran, detective sergeant at the University of California at Los Angeles. “They take bulletin Is off the walls. They take office equipment that is chained or bolted down.” In a recent survey by the Bums Security Institute, 58 campus po lice chiefs said they were more concerned with combating thiev ery than demonstrations and bomb threats. A sampling of campus police chiefs by The Associated Press indicated disagreement on wheth er students or outsiders were re sponsible for the upsurge in steal ing and on how much campus drug use contributes to the prob lem. Open campuses, coed dormi tories and the tendency of stu dents not to lock their dormitory doors were cited as major causes of the thievery. There are no national statistics on the increase in campus thefts, but reports from around the country indicated the extent of the problem: —Incidents of larceny have in creased from 134 in 1969 to 239 so far this year at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. —Bicycle thefts at Florida State University in Tallahassee went from 361 in 1968 to 907 last year. —Personal property worth $103,600 was reported stolen in the first 11 months of last year at the University of Michigan. During the same period this year, thefts totaling $150,121 were re ported. College officials have respond ed to the plundering in a variety of ways. Locks were put on doors of the residence houses in the Harvard Yard this year. Campus police now patrol inside the dorm itories at Indiana University. Ul trasonic alarms have been install ed in the academic buildings at Stanford University. Wallets and watches are the ever-popular standbys of the campus thief, but stereos and cameras are increasingly popular targets in dormitory rooms. Type writers and adding machines are stolen from administrative and classroom buildings. The snatch ing of expensive 10-speed bicycles has reached epidemic proportion at some schools. One item seems immune from theft. Textbooks. “I don’t know when I last heard of someone losing a book,” said Ernest Quinton, chief of secur ity at San Jose State College. Most campus police officials blamed outsiders for the rocket ing theft rates first noted in 1970. A few, however, said students have always stolen from each other and are just doing more of it now. Some security officers said drug users who steal to support their habits are responsible for the increase in stealing. Others, arguing on the basis of arrests they have made, said drugs played little part in pilfering on their campuses. Dormitory students have borne the brunt of the increase in steal ing. The free access granted every one on the open campuses and in the coed dormitories of today was cited by many campus security chiefs as a significant factor in the upsurge of thefts. “When you have doors open around the clock, when you have men and women living in the BATTALION CLASSIFIED One day 5c per word <c per word each additional day Minimum charge—75c Ciaasified Display (1.00 per column inch each insertion FOR SALE Airedale puppy.

They criticize U.S. de vastation of a foreign country and cite the deaths and injuries that have resulted on both sides. The public at large has become dis enchanted for a more practical reason: our failure to win.” These conclusions were drawn by Professor Howard Shuman of the University of Michigan Insti tute for Social Research after a detailed analysis of various na tionwide polls, opinion surveys and in-depth interviews. For ex ample, Shuman discovered cam pus opposition to the war increas ed most after American escala tions in Indochina and reports of heavy civilian casualties. The in itiation of the bombing of North Vietnam and escalation of such bombing, the Cambodian invasion and the media exposure of the My Lai massacre all produced high levels of anti-war sentiment on the campuses. On the other hand, these events did not materially influence oppo sition to the war by the general public. However, public anti-war sentiment inci’eased markedly aft er communist victories during the 1968 Tet offensive. Shuman’s research also reveal ed that peace demonstrations did not increase public opposition to the war. In fact, general approval of Nixon’s handling of the war, as measured by the Gallup poll, rose by six per cent after the largest peace marches in No vember, 1969. -EVERYDAY-— Prestone Anti-Freeze and summer coolant $1.69 Premium grade Douglas Tires mounted and HIGH SPEED balanced for no extra charge.

Underlying all explanations for the increase in stealing, according to many campus officials, is the persistent notion that the campus is an ivory-towered fortress iso lated from the world at large. “It is naive, but there are many students who feel the campus does provide a sanctuary,” said L. B. Kankowski, deputy director of public safety at the College Park campus of the University of Maryland. “The students have a tendency to trust everyone. As a result, they get taken.” Licensed plumber needed. Box 3824, Bryan. 191tfn TAKE OFF Undecided about your future? It’s no disgrace. Even Einstein couldn’t make up his mind for quite awhile.
