[ can happen just that fast, said
e fO.L. Luther of the University
nice.
["A burglar can get in a car in a
[tterofbO seconds,” Luther said,
ley just throw a blanket over the
Low and break out the glass.”
ieveral citizen band radios
s) have been stolen on campus
1 Texas A&M University. The
uber of C.B.s stolen on campus
decreased more than 50 per
cent in the last few years. Luther
says this is partially due to an in
crease in the number of University
Police on patrol.
“We have had 10 C.B.s stolen
since September,” Luther said.
“There were about 23 C.B.s stolen
in the 1975-76 school year .”
The number of stolen C.B.s could
be decreased even more if owners
would take a few precautions, he
said.
“Fixing C.B.s so they are detach
able is the best prevention,” he
said. “You can dismount them and
stick them in your trunk.”
Devices for this purpose are sold
at many C.B. outlets. A slide mount
is one such device.
“A slide mount makes it easier to
remove the radio,” Mike Martin, a
Radio Shack salesman, said. If the
radio is easier to remove, the owner
is more likely to put it in a safe
place, he said.
Alarm systems are an alternative
to slip mounts. They make a loud
sound if activated.
“Some people hook burglar
alarms up to their cars and radios,”
Luther said. “This prevents a
burglary by scaring off the burglar.
It helps to let the people know
you have an alarm system installed
in your car, he added.
“If you do have an alarm system,
let it be known,” Luther said. “Put
one of those little tags that says
‘burglar alarm’ on your car.”
Prices for most of these devices
range from about $7 to $17.
Registering C.B.s doesn’t pre
vent them from being stolen. It
does help identify the owner if the
radio is stolen and then recovered,
Luther said.
C.B.s can be registered with the
University Police at no charge. The
owner must permanently mark the
radio and fill out an information card
at the University Police Depart
ment.

Blake, Texas A&M assistant
pry science professor.
You get addicted to it (crafts) and
it stay away,” she said. “I just
shthe shop was open more.”
i Texas A&M University
shop opened in the spring of
75 under the direction of student
pgramming, Karen Zantow, assis
tant program coordinator, said. The
shop was not opened until the pres
ent location was ready and equip
ment had arrived. The shop is in the
basement of the MSC near the
barber shop.
“I believe the Crafts shop fulfills a
very basic need of the University,”
Cheryl Evans, a shop staff member,
said. “Since there is no art depart
ment as such at A&M, people need
an outlet for their abilities.”
Evans received her bachelor of
fine arts degree at Stephen F. Aus
tin State University and is taking
graduate courses in education at
A&M.
The Crafts shop is funded by the
student service fees, Zantow said.
Thus, in order to use the equipment
in the shop, A&M students, faculty
and staff and their families merely
present their A&M identification.
Evans said using the MSC Crafts
shop can save the students money.
Supplies from the shop are less
expensive than supplies from area
merchants, she explained. Also stu
dents can use the tools and equip
ment, such as table saws and hand
drills, supplied in the shop.
Thirty-two different workshops
are offered by the A&M shop, in
cluding pottery, china painting,
jewelry making, and leather tooling.
Prices for enrolling in the classes
were compared with costs at other
• •
universities and A&M’s prices were
cheaper, Evans said. A pottery
course at A&M costs $12 while a
similar class at the University of
Houston cogts $30, she said.
Another outlet for student work is
the gallery, next to the Crafts shop.
Evans said students can display and
sell any handmade work in the gal
lery.
ANNOUNCING
Engravers to permanently mark
radios are available at the Univer
sity Police Department or the Col
lege Station Police Department.
Those convicted of stealing C.B.s
may end up paying a high price.
“You can be jailed from two to 10
years if you are convicted,” Luther
said. “If the violater gets probation,
he must pay a $49 court cost and $6
a month for probation fqes.”
In some cases, the defendant may
not leave the county without per
mission from the court. He may also
be forced by law to stay away from
places that sell alcoholic beverages,
he said.
If the offender is a student at
Texas A&M, he may be expelled
from school by the administration.
His chances for getting a job after
graduation are also decreased,
Luther said.
