City crime wave hits student area
By LILLIAN DAVIS Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
The number of burglaries and thefts in a 12-block area east of the UCU campus has increased in the last month. Accused police report yesterday,
The area, which runs from 10th to 18th streets and from Vermont Street to the eastern edge of campus, is composed of mainly duplexes and triplexes—all housing mostly college students.
Mark Brothers, Lawrence Police Department crime analyst, said the hardest-hit area was between 14th and 17th streets.
He said the only similarities among the break-ins were that many of the victims were college students who lived in the area and who did not have their houses or cars locked at the time of the break-ins.
"The break-ins are occurring at all times and on all days," Brothers said.
There is no pattern to the kind of property stolen, police said. Apparently the thieves wait until they have had enough before deciding what to take, police says.
"They're taking a little bit of this and a little bit of that," Brothers said. "It just depends on what they can find."
Brothers cautioned residents to lock their doors and to be alert to any kind of suspicious activity in their neighborhoods.
"We need reports of suspicious activity in the area to be able to curb the crime." Brothers said. "People who do so are watching their neighborhoods."
However, all other crimes, including assault, larceny and auto theft were down.
During the first six months of this year, burglary went up 12.6 percent in Lawrence, according to a report in the Lawrence Police Department.
Lawrence does not appear to be the only college town in Kansas that is experiencing a slight increase in burduries and thefts.
While no statistics have been compiled for the last six months of the year, police departments in Manhattan and Emporia said they had noticed crime increases since the school year began.
"We always do notice an increase in burglaries and thefts during the first few months of school," police Allen Raynor of Manhattan said.
Although officials have noticed an increase since August, a report released by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation last week showed that crime in Lawrence and Manhattan during the first six months of this year was down 1.1 percent and 5.6 percent, respectively.
However, the crime rate in Wichita and Emporia has increased. Its crime rate went up 10.8 percent in both cities' crime increase increased 42.3 percent.

SUA movie passbooks offer $5 savings
By DIANE MAKOVSKY Staff Reporter
Sales of the new ticket passbook for the Student Union Activities film series are better than expected, Mike Gebert, committee chairman, said recently.
The passbooks were introduced this semester to maintain the regularly attending audience because the price for tickets increased by 50 cents this week. All tickets are now $1.50 for reentry and $23 for midnight showings. Gebert said.
On weekends about 1,200 to 1,500 people have attended films at the Kansas Union.
Gebert said that by early Friday morning 312 of the 600 passbooks had
The passbooks contain 10 tickets for $10, which is a $8 savings, and may be redeemed for other purchases.
The passes must be used during the tail semester and are available only to
the students.
"I don't think we've dropped below 60 (on weeknights) which is okay," he said.
The crowds at the films have been good so far this semester. Gebert said.
Traditionally, the weekend's gross pays for the entire week's showings.
However, Gebert said there had been some busy weeknights, such as the time when 360 people attended the showing of Fellini's "81/2."
"There is a real audience for new foreign films." Gebert said.
To satisfy that audience, the film series has some highly acclaimed, but rarely seen, imports showing this semester.
"The Last Wave," "The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith" and "Breaker Morant," all from Australia, will be shown.
"The Last Wave" stars Richard Chamberlain as a lawyer who defends five abovements accused of ritual murder. The movie involves mursery
