Vending Machines Thorn for KU
By BILL WILLETS
Kansan Staff Writer
Burglarizing of vending machines continues to be a major law enforcement problem on the University of Kansas campus, where about 50 of Kansas police officer said Wednesday.
Captain Bob Ellison, of the KU Security Services Division, said that University Residence halls and the central campus were prime areas for thefts.
"The highest occurrence of thefts is in the torm area, he said, because you have the money to make it."
He said that open visitation policies in effect at University residence halls were not the case.
Strong Hall, he said, also seemed to be the subject of frequent thefts.
Forrest Jolly, vending manager of the Kansas Union, said that between 35 and 40 thefts had occurred on campus this semester.
100 Kansans to Leave For Wounded Knee With Supplies, Gear
Approximately 100 Kansans will leave Topeka Saturday to take food and camping gear to Indians in Wounded Knee, S.D., and to go to Indian Movement coordinator for Kansas.
Flynn said AIM was asking for donations of canned goods, blankets, and camping gear, as well as money for gas and transportation.
Anyone wishing to make a donation may leave it at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 2312 Harvard St. between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The caravan plans to remain at Wounded Knee for a week. Members will be given the opportunity to stay at either a camp outside the blockade established by federal agents in 1873 or to own their own risk. Anyone interested in joining the caravan should call Flynn at 842-333-333.
"We take the money every day," Jolly said. "So when someone breaks into a machine they're getting products, not money."
Ellison said that it was not uncommon for a machine to be burglarized for $4, while the same company sold the camera.
"People who do it generally know what they're doing." Ellison said.
He said that screw drivers were usually used to bend the locks and doors.
"We are now trying to find some practical means to secure the machines," Ellison said. "We know of several ways to secure them but they are not economically feasible. The problem is to secure the machines while still allowing access."
Jolly said that students could play a vital role in minimizing the thefts.
"Any illicit act observed by an individual should be reported immediately to Traffic and Security, no matter how minor it seems to be." Jolly said. "This is an old-fashioned method, but it's the one we find to be a solution."
Jolly said that people needed to become more involved. "Too often the individual will turn his back because he doesn't want to get involved." Jolly said. "The only way we can make the place safer is to report these incidents."
Jolly said that an individual must be observed committing a crime before he could be prosecuted. He added that three years of probation was required and prosecuted in the past 15 months.
--the solution to this problem is responsibility on the part of the citizen."

"In the four years I've been here, there have been about 400 attempts to break into machine knives. Three people were apprehended and taken to court. But, don't blame police officers. I feel
