Estes Now at Leavenworth

Union Director Urges I.D. For All Students' Belongings
"All University of Kansas students would be extremely wise to have identification labels put on all their belongings," says Frank Burge, director of the KU Kansas Union.
Burge said although most KU students are basically honest, mistakes are bound to occur in a busy atmosphere such as the Kansas Union, which has an average of over 8,000 people through it every day. Burge added although these mistakes usually tend to correct themselves, the process could be sped up greatly if students would take time to label such items as hats, coats and overshoes.
The Union is in no way responsible for "lost or stolen" articles, but it does aid victims in any manner it can. Check rooms and racks are also provided for patrons of the Union, and a strict watch is kept on items in these areas.
The Union has a definite, deliberate policy which it follows on the handling of lost articles. Burge contends that since a student's first reaction at losing something is to backtrack where he has been, items are kept where they were originally lost for a period of at least 24 hours. In
other words, books left at the "Hawks Nest," will be kept there for one day. If the items have not been claimed within that period, they are turned in to the lost and found department.
Burge added, that "Union personnel will make every effort to communicate with the owner of lost articles of their identity can be established." Students who have lost items in the Union are requested to contact the information booth, or call UN 4-3467.

Most college students would also be wise to check into the possibility of insurance for lost or stolen articles Burge said. A check with a reputable Lawrence insurance agency showed that many students' parents have home package policies, which protects students while they away from home. This type of policy costs as little as $10 to $15 a year.
Burge said although some articles are actually stolen while they are in the Union, this is the exception, rather than the rule. The percentage of lost articles being turned into the lost and found department is extremely high. Suspected thefts should be reported immediately, however.
E. P. Moomau, chief of campus police, said thefts should also be reported to his office as soon as possible. The fact that thefts do occur, is shown by an incident which occurred in the English Room of the Union in early January. Six ladies' purses, containing more than $20 among them, and identification cards, were all stolen. Moomau added that "youths" have been seen prowling around the Union area, and the campus police were doing everything to prevent such occurrences.
