Designs Stolen From Strong
An estimated $150 to $180 worth of design studies have been stolen from the design department in Strong Hall.
Design thefts have been a continuing problem at KU and have started sooner this semester and been more frequent than in the past, Miss Marjorie Whitney, professor of design, said.
Two plans to stop the thefts are being considered by the design department and KU authorities. One plan is to put doors which can be locked at each end of the design display hall. Objections have been raised to this plan in the past because locked doors would hinder free access of students to classrooms after class hours.
THE SECOND PLAN being considered is to lock the work itself in glass display cases. However, this would cost between six and ten thousand dollars.
"I don't think any stolen art work has ever been recovered," Miss Whitney said.
FOR SOMEONE to take a student's work, something that he depends on for a grade, is cruel," Miss Whitney said. "The designs on display are usually the result of many classes and many hours of work. And a student depends upon these samples of his work to help him get a job," she said.
SOMETIMES DESIGNS are stolen by persons wanting a piece for an art collection, Mrs. Foster said. Others are taken by persons who want to decorate.
One person who had taken art work from the hall display said, "I wanted it, so I took it. Besides, I needed a picture for my wall."

Martha Knight, Kansas City junior, and chairman of the committee, said that all students are invited. Those who have guitars are asked to bring them.
The group has no definite program planned. Favorite songs of those present will be sung.

John LaCost wanted a part in scientific progress
He has it at Western Electric
John LaCost received his B.S.E.E. from the University of Illinois in 1962. One of the factors which influenced him to join Western Electric was the quick manner in which new engineers become operational.
During the short time John has been with us, he has worked in several areas which are vital to the nation's communications complex. And with his future development in mind, John attended one of our Graduate Engineer Training Centers where he studied the front-line Electronic Switching System. He is currently working as a systems equipment engineer on such projects as cross bar switching and line link pulsing.
John's future at Western Electric looks promising indeed. He knows he will be working with revolutionary and advanced engineering concepts like electronic switching, thin film circuitry, computer-
