Books, clothes, shaver pile in lost-and-found offices
With the end of the semester in sight, some people might get the urge to study—if they could just find their books.
Books and other articles lost on campus can usually be found in the lost-and-found departments in Allen Field House, Murphy Hall, English offices in Carruth-O'Leary and the Kansas Union information desk.
Books and notebooks are two of the more common articles lost, but umbrellas run a close second. The English offices alone have a dozen umbrellas. There also is a surplus of gloves, especially just one of a pair, scarves, keys and glasses.
Sometimes the season may dictate just how much is lost, especially in Allen Field House. The basketball season brings the greatest amount of articles, said Mrs. Lorena Mast, secretary in the athletic department. She has a shoebox half full of glasses along
with keys, wool caps and gloves. "People don't come back and inquire about things and there's no way to identify them," she said. She thinks many of the articles may have been lost by people from out of town, as was evidenced by a girl from Manhattan who wrote to the athletic department asking about a pair of dooskin gloves she lost during the KU-K-State basketball game. Mrs. Mast had a pair of gloves matching the girl's description of hers, but they were pigskin.
In Murphy many things tend to be lost when plays are being given. People leave umbrellas, scarves, gloves and jewelry. Most articles are claimed eventually. One of the most unusual things to be lost in Murphy was an electric shaver.
Mrs. Mary Lou Means, secretary in the English offices, has a collection of clothing, from a
boy's trench coat to a pair of jeans. There has also been found a boy's winter jacket, wool sweater, shirt, ladies gloves, luggage key, and books and notebooks. She said not many articles have been claimed although she has made announcements in classes and posted signs. It's about equal, she said, in the number of articles left by men and women. "Girls have a tendency to leave their umbrellas more and boys leave their jackets when it gets warm."
The Kansas Union information desk seems to be a gathering place for everything. Books, notebooks, umbrellas, glasses and other articles are usually left on tables in the Hawk's Nest and Trail Room. During enrollment pursues are often found. The articles are kept for a reasonable length of time and then if not claimed are given to a charitable organization.
