Shoplifters Haunt Union Bookstore
The case of the light-fingered Jayhawk is a continuous problem for the KU bookstore. But efforts never cease against pilfering there.
Mr. Stoner said there is no apparent pattern to the shoplifting that takes place in the bookstore.
"We can't count the loss in dollars and cents because we're on a retail inventory," said James Stoner, book store manager. But he estimated the annual loss was "considerable."
"One week we may note traces of expensive books being missing and the next week fountain pens," he said.
Nor does there appear to be any particular time during the semester when the problem is more acute than other times.
"Perhaps there is more of it late in the semester," he said.

Children's Theatre Opens Thursday
Directed by Dr. Jed H. Davis, assistant professor of speech and drama. Aladdin is the story of a lazy fun-loving Arabian boy who accompanies the African Magician to the secret cave and finds the magic lamp. The Magician becomes enraged with Aladdin and slams the cave door shut while Aladdin is still inside. Aladdin's dreams begin to come true when he inadvertently rubs the magic lamp. Aladdin marries the Princess Badroulbadour and becomes a friendly Caliph; however, the Magician returns and trouble begins again. It all ends happily, however and the Magician is wished away to the realms of Darkest Magic, never to return.
years and has been manager since last spring, said there appears to have been less shoplifting this semester than last spring.
Several security measures have been instituted to cut the loss from light-fingered patrons. One of these was the installation of turnstiles for controlled entrance and exit about three years ago.
A plan presently being instituted is the arranging of store fixtures to increase employee's overall vision.
Occasionally light-fingered Louis and Louise are nabbed in the aet, Mr. Stoner said. These cases are turned over to the All Student Council disciplinary committee.

ROCHESTER, N. Y. — (UPI) — A medieval custom is brought to life on the University of Rochester Campus each Christmas when men students hold their annual boar's-head dinner.
Deck the Halls
The modern version of a traditional English Yuletide feast features heralds and caroling waiters in 16th century costume. But the students dine on roast pork instead of the wild boar that was on the menu at old Oxford.

Student aides must be U.S. citizens and must be at least 18 years old. They are selected on the basis of years of college work completed, grades, references, experience and intention to pursue graduate training.
