Textbook stealing accounts for losses, manager says
By GARY BORG

Textbook thefts account for a considerable part of the nearly $15,000-a-year in losses by the Kansas University Bookstore, and Christman, manager of the bookstore.
"That $15,000 by no means an accurate figure." Christman said.
He said the figure included losses on discontinued books, which usually were sold to wholesale outlets at 25 per cent of their original price.
But theft and illegitimate refunds remain an area of concern. This year the final day for returning textbooks for a full refund is Friday. Just as before, Christina said, a student must bring either a receipt of payment from the dropped class to receive a refund.
"Obviously, receipts can be lost," Orestman said.
This was the reason, he said, a student could use a slip stop instead of the usual receipt.
"We want to discourage the fact of stolen books," Christman said. "During heavy times, during book return and buy-back times, the problem is greater."
Christman said it was sometimes difficult to discern if a returned book was tidied.
Another problem is caused by those students who enroll in a course, buy the necessary books, read them during the first week of class, and then throw them to the bookstore for a full refund.
"It there are 600 books in the hands of
the church, and I am alike, it makes me
laugh," Christmas said.
Although this isn't as serious a concern as that of theft, Christman said, occasional checks are made during the refund period to determine if refund seekers have actually dropped the class in which the book was required.
"There are two major concerns in book refunds," Crichman said. First, the future customer must be considered. Second, if the book is discontinued and is returned to the publisher, the bookstore manager has to decide what it can get from the publisher, be said.
Procedures have been established for dealing with students caught in the act of殴
"We fill out a report with the dean's office, with the dean of men or women, as the case may be," Christman said. "Then, it's handled through that office."
Frank Burge, director of the Union, said of such bleta, "Obviously, we are in agreement."
For the second time in more than a year, tickets for a Concert Series program have been sold out for several days in advance of the performance.
Tickets sold out for mime show
Bert Houle and Sophie Wibaux, members of the company, will present an evening of mime and pantomime at 8 p.m. tomorrow in University Theatre.
Tickets for tomorrow's performance of the Loreto-Hilton Company of St. Louis, the second of the 1974-75 Concert Series, were sold out noon Monday. According to Preston Sisk, box office manager, about 1200 tickets have been distributed.
Houle and Wibau work in solo and tandem. They perform various numbers including "Cain and Abel," "The Statue" and "Escape." The presentation ranges from serious, symbolic gestures to the lighthearted and comic elements of the craft.
Sisk, who worked with Hubei and Wibau some years ago in Baltimore, said, "I was building scenery and they were doing mine stuff. They are quite talented people."
for adrenaline.
"They make you believe that anything they are working with is there. They do a thing with an invisible glass box where one of them is trapped inside and lures the other into it because that is the only way to get out," he said.
"It is a magnificent thing. It holds the audience spellbound." Sisk said.
Wilhaux is from France; Houle is an American. They met while studying in France with the master mime artist Etienne Decroux. Marcel Marreau, a well-known mime, also studied under Decroux. studied under Decroux.

When a thief is found with stolen books, he said, "you wouldn't believe some of the books."
Epinephrine works to open "valves" in the sides of the eyes and relieve pressure. Pro-epinephrine enters through the cornea with greater efficiency and has the same effect as epinephrine.
"First we make sure of the fact," Burge said. "Three with quiet dignity, we feel at ease."
"But we try to project the image of a well-run business," he said. "We don't want the buy-back to be a way to get hot money or easy money."

A major breakthrough in the treatment of glaucoma was announced recently by TakerUhiguchi, director of the department of pharmaceutical sciences.
Gaucaemia is a condition of increasing pressure within the eye which leads to bleb formation.
At a symposium of the American Chemical Society last week, Higuchi revealed that the preliminary testing of the drug proved it to be about 80 times more effective and one one-hundredth as toxic as present medication.
