safety of individuals and materials,’’
Clark said.
Regarding personal item theft in
the library, Clark suggests students
not leave their books or personal
belongings unattended.
The library does have provisions
for the recovery of lost or stolen
Items.
“There is a lost and found area at
the circulation desk.” Clark said.
“Items at the lost and found are sent
to the MSClost andfound after one
week.”
One way that students can pro
tect themselves against theft is to
mark their driver license number
on all of their personal property
“Students should mark comput
ers, cameras, bicycles and other
property with their driver license
number and state abbreviation,”
Kretzschrnar said. “Any police offi
cer in the country can run a driver’s
license number to identify stolen
property.” •

zschmar stresses, do not tolerate

a fully involved production.
All of the above stores have one thing in common.
Their owners and sales staff are all supportive of local
music and the art of making music. All of them will tell
customers it is not practical to be in the music business
for business reasons.
“This, to me, is more a hobby than a job,” Lippman
said. “You can’t be in this business to make money be
cause you won’t. You’ve got to love it to do it.”
It is that attitude on the part of all the music stores that
make Bryan-College Station a suitable place for a musi
cian with money to spend.
