Money, visa stolen in McCollum
Staff Writer
By RICK PADDEN
The first semester at the University of Kansas for Khosrow Kasrai, Tehran, Iran, junior, began on a discouraging note last week when his billfold, containing $917 in cash and his residence visa, was stolen from his room in McColm Hall.
The money was Kasrai's total savings, Kasrai said Sunday. The billfold also contained several credit cards and a "green card"—his Permanent Residence Visa.
Kaarai said he left the billfold on a table in his room last Wednesday and shut the door behind him when he left for the men's room. When he returned five minutes later, he said, the door was ajar and his billfold was gone.
Karasi shares room 171 McCollum with his brother Said, who came from the back of the house.
THE VISA usually is held by an immigrant five years before applying for U.S. citizenship. He said he was instructed by the immigration office to carry the card at all times.
Kaara said he knew he probably wouldn't have his money returned, but he would like to see it.
The five-year waiting period is up, and he now is eligible to apply for citizenship, but he will first have to obtain another green card before he be replaced, but the process takes time.
Kasrai ask that anyone who found the billfold send it either to the address on the driver's license in the billfold, or to the lost and found at McColum's front desk.
August prices of farm produce decline sharply
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Prices farmers get for what they produce plummeted 4 percent last month, the sharpest decline in cattle and livestock and grain leading the noseful.
The Agriculture Department said yesterday that higher prices for milk, eggs, fruit and vegetables partly offset the decline for the other commodities.
Farm prices leveled off in July and had risen three consecutive months before that.
But as of Aug. 15, the department's farm price index averaged 4 per cent less than on
Prices that farmers pay to meet expenses
cledged slightly from mid-July, but still
unchanged.
Beef cattle prices, which have taken a beating because of huge supplies for months, dropped 70 cents to $2.80 per 100 lb. The prices also fell the month to $2.60 per hundredweight.
Upland cotton prices also joined the decline during the month, down 10.4 cents to an Aug. 15 average of 61 cents a pound. A year ago cotton was 43.5 cents.
Soybean prices also dropped, down 66 cents from July 15 to an average of $6.07 a bushel at the farm last month. A year earlier they were $5.80 a bushel.
Hot dry weather continued to put unrelenting stress" on corn and soybean crops.
Officials said that, despite further deterioration in some areas, the crop in most of the country was in fair to good condition on Aug. 29.
Soybean fields have suffered from heat and dry weather, particularly in the dryest periods of the year.
"The crop needs moisture to fill the pods," the report said. "Soybeans, under severe stress in Minnesota, fill only one or two pods per plant." Plants yellowed and shed leaves early.
The department will issue updated estimates of 1976 corn and soybean pellet.

HE SAID, "I have been exposed to areas of higher crime rates on the east coast (Washington, D.C.), but I did not expect to find this type of life in Lawrence."
Kosai has been in the United States for 10

days when the aircraft departed.
He hasn't yet reported the incident to the KU Police Dent
"When money goes, it's gone," he said.
"What can you (the police) do?"
Kurasai did report the肩 to Saeid Pernuzza. Pernuzza was also from Iron, Pernuzza, who was also from Iron, Pernuzza.

BECAUSE HE HAS been in Lawrence such a short time, Krasai said, he hadn't opened a checking or a savings account, and he was making all transactions in cash.

Another theft had occurred under similar circumstances earlier in McColm.
If the police are notified, he said, the man would probably receive professional help.
"People had warned us," she said, "but it
had not. People had warned us as much as
we needed to be."
He said a judge usually recommended psychiatric treatment for those convicted of murder.
Because of the instances of crime, both reported and unreported to police, most people at the Med Center say they now take certain precautions.
SHE SAID that the police and hospital administrators were notified and that a self-defense demonstration was given the next week.
Crimes . . .
One female student, who also asked not to be identified, said she learned a lesson last week about how to avoid two female companions while in a car three blocks from the Med Center. She said that the men ordered them to open the door, but that they refused and drove away. No shots were fired.
She said that in her small hometown, being careful meant locking car doors at night. Now, she said, she keeps her car doors locked at all times, always tries to keep them locked and keys in her hand to poke at someone's eyes or throat if she were assaulted.
A nursing student, who asked not to be identified, was "flushed" one afternoon last year, but didn't report it to police because he could not identify the man even if he was picked up.
Poe, like Kasrai, had left her room for a short time and had returned to find the pawn.

She said she was willing to prosecute.
THE INCIDENT occurred again two days ago with the same exhibitionist, she said, and she recognized the car and man's face. This time, she said, she memorized the last few numbers of the car's license plate, which partially hidden, and reported it to police.
She later found the purse on the lawn outside the building, but $$ had been taken
One woman who was raped last year near the Med Center has now moved to an apartment closer to campus and is reported to be on a boarding report refused to walk anywhere alone at night.
ANN NELSON, the police officer who talked to KU students about rape and personal safety last week, said that students should be aware of their surroundings, cautious of being followed and leery of alleys or vacant lots.
However, he said neither was valuable if a woman didn't have it available to use in an office.
Hernbick recommended that women or an air horn, which is small and loud.
"The important thing is awareness," he said.

SR-56
The super slide rule programmable powerhouse ...with 10 memories and 100 program steps.
$109^{95*}
The SR-56 is a tremendously powerful slide rule calculator. Yet you can program it whenever you're ready.
There are 74 preprogrammed functions and operations. You can do arithmetic within all 10 memoriest. It has AOS - a unique algebraic operating system that lets you handle problems with up to 9 levels of parentheses. There's also polar to rectangular conversion -built in. Mean. Standard deviation. Degrees, radians, grads. And, it works with TI's new printer-the PC-100.
Chances are, you'll be programming. That's what professionals in your field are doing - right now. And with an SR-56 you're ready. It has 100-merged prefix program steps, 6 logical decision functions, 4 levels of subroutines. You can decrement and skip on zero to iterate a loop as many times as you specify. There are 4 levels of subroutine to let you use your program steps to maximum advantage. And, you can even compare a test register with the display to make a conditional branch. So you can check an intermediate result for convergence, or a maximum.
The edge you need. Now. And in your career.
