Students Suffer FromShoplifting In Book Store
By Susan Flood
Shoplifting in the Kansas Union Book Store is, in effect, taking money from fellow students.
"Since the Book Store operates on a cooperative basis and refunds to the students through rebate slips, any theft just cheats the student who commits it," James Stoner, manager of the Book Store said.
STONER SAID THAT although the percentage of the student body who have been apprehended for shoplifting is small there has been a "fair number in the past six weeks."
"The staff of the Book Store has apprehended about three students a week who are attempting to take things," Stoner said.
"Any shoplifting which goes undetected is too great."
Stoner said the merchandise taken ranges from 45c paperback novels to the most expensive books and supplies. Articles commonly taken are art materials, notebooks and contemporary greeting cards.
DONALD K. ALDERSON, dean of men, said students should be concerned about the shoplifting since the monetary loss is reflected in the rebates by the Book Store at the end of each semester.
"We do not want to tolerate this kind of behavior or to have it show up in other areas," Dean Alderson said.
"Although we do not stress in any orientation period that shoplifting is not acceptable we assume the students realize this is the case before they come here."
Alderson said that self-service and modern merchandising makes items attractive and immediately accessible. He quoted from a recent magazine article which says: "In self-service we ask our customers to help themselves. They sure do."
ANY STUDENT APPREHENDED for shoplifting appears before the ASC Disciplinary Board. The action of the board relates to the offense, the previous record of the student, and the individual case. Dean Alderson said.
"In addition to having it placed on his record the student who is apprehended for shoplifting may be called upon to make a contribution to the fund in the Endowment Association, and may be subject to disciplinary probation or possible suspension."
"Suspension from the University occurs when it is a very serious act of theft, or if there has been an earlier problem with the student," Alderson said.
DISCIPLINARY PROBATION is defined in the following manner: "Disciplinary probation at the University of Kansas describes the status of the student who has admitted guilt or who has been found, through the proper University sources, to be related to the violation of campus regulations, certain laws of the community and state, and/or commonly accepted standards of student conduct.
Disciplinary probation may extend from one semester to an indefinite period. All students who are placed on disciplinary probation will receive written notice of this fact, as will their parents.
Individuals involved in serious irregularities while on Disciplinary Probation may expect to have their student status immediately reviewed, with suspension a distinct possibility at this juncture."
THE DISCIPLINARY BOARD is composed of six students appointed by the president of the student body and five administrative and faculty representatives from the University Senate. The faculty members are: James E.Titus, associate professor of political science, E.Jackson Baur, professor of sociology and anthropology, the student's academic dean and the Dean of Men and Dean of Women.
The six students presently serving on the Board are Breon Mitchell, Salina senior, Curtis Boswell, Louisburg senior, Brian Grace, Lawrence senior, Gerald Dykes, Leavenworth senior, John McCulloh, Abilene junior, and Janice (Gigi) Gibson, Independence junior.
A survey of several stores in downtown Lawrence indicates that the percentage of KU students apprehended for shoplifting is not great.
ONE STORE MANAGER said it is "not fair to criticize the bulk of KU students for the actions of a small few."
The new shoplifting law allows store managers or employees to apprehend a shoplifter while he is still in the store if there is good reason to believe that he is acting in a custom foreign to the usual method of shopping.

"This affords more protection to the merchants than when we previously had to follow the person outside and stop him before he could get away," a local store manager said.
"If an employer notices a person taking an article from a shelf and concealing it in his clothing, the employer may stop him immediately."

Student Court Reseats Woman After Marginal Victory Case
Bv Gary Noland
Ruling that it is the duty of the voters to know what they are voting on, the Student Court last night reinstated Jean Borlaug, Sierra Guadarrama, Mexico, junior, to her seat on the All Student Council.
The ruling concluded a trial in which Miss Borlaug's election as a representative from the large women's residence halls district was being contested by Beverley Nicks, Detroit junior.
Miss Nicks (Vox) lost the race to Miss Borlaug (UP) by only 14 votes (200-186). At the trial, she charged "negligence on the part of the elections committee" for not passing out ballots to all voters from her district, and for not sufficiently informing students of the special election concerning the large women's residence representative. Last week she obtained a temporary restraining order barring Miss Borlaug from the ASC until the trial
scheduled early on the first morning of the spring election to fill a seat vacated by the recall of a representative of the district. Normally living district representatives are elected in the fall.
The special election for a representative from this district was
The number of courtroom spectators dwindled to only a handful as the trial dragged on for four hours with the plaintiff's attorney, Allen Knouft, Topeka second year law student, charging that "slipshod running of the election" and failure of the elections committee to give "reasonable notice" of the special election resulted in a discrepancy between the number of women voting from the large women's residence district and the actual number of these voters who received the special ballot with the names of the two candidates from this district.
Knoutt produced evidence to show that 426 women from this district received dean's cards, meaning that this number voted in the general election, but he said the official
Tornadoes, High Wind Rip Central Kansas
Kansas City's metropolitan area experienced its first tornadoes of the season when several funnel clouds were reported, mostly in suburban areas. Most reports were unconfirmed.
The thunderstorms moved into Missouri, causing tornadoes to touch down in several areas, but little damage was reported.
POLICE AND WEATHER Bureau personnel confirmed the sighting of at least two tornadoes in suburban Kansas City, but no damage was reported other than power lines downed.
The bulk of the damage was reported in the Hutchinson, Kan., area. Tornadoes touched down at
UPI—Tornadoes, hail and high winds whirled out of violent thunderstorms in Central Kansas Wednesday and dipped down into several communities in its drive east-ward, causing an estimated quarter of a million dollars in damages. No injuries were reported.
Zenith and possibly at Sylvia and Emporia, Kan., but officials were not sure if damages at Sylvia and Emporia were caused by tornadoes or high winds.
Civil defense sirens and factory whistles sounded in Topeka and in Kansas City, police, firemen and civil defense officials sounded warnings in preparation to the severe weather conditions.
Hail the size of baseballs was reported at Emporia and high winds and hail was reported at Council Grove. Three tornadoes touched down in the rural area of Emporia, Council Grove and Cottonwood Falls, but no damage was reported.
A FUNNEL CLOUD was reported but unconfirmed at Latham, Mo., southwest of California, Mo. The hickory county sheriff reported a funnel at Osceola, Mo., but no damage was reported there either.
election tally showed only 393 ballots were cast for the large women's residence district.
Tornadoes passed over Nevada and El Dorado Springs, Mo., but little more than minor wind damage was reported.
Knouft said this discrepancy showed that 33 women from this district voted in the spring election, but did not vote for their representative to the ASC.
Knoutt called 13 witnesses from this living district who testified that they voted in the spring election, but did not receive a ballot for large women's residence representative.
All except one of these witnesses said they did not ask for the special ballot, and were not even aware of the special election.
Nancy Cleveland, Kansas City sophomore, who testified as an eligible voter from this district, said: "I asked for the ballot for large women's residence. I thought I had received it, but when I went to vote, I didn't have it."
She said she voted without returning and asking for the ballot again, because the polls were crowded and she was in a hurry.
Miss Borlaug's attorney, Mike Penny, Lawrence third year law student, argued the election was run smoothly and that there had been publicity in the University Daily Kansan about the recall of Peggy Conner, Sacramento, Calif., senior, so that the voters "should have known what they were voting on.
"The time to find out about an election is before the election, not after," he said.
Penny introduced as evidence, March 18,23,25,27,and April 1 issues of the UDK, which carried articles about the recall petition and the possibility of a special election in conjunction with the spring election.
It was due to the "negligence" of the voters that they were not informed of the special election, Penny argued in his final remarks.
The plaintiffs' attorney, Allen Knoutt, also contended that 75 women whose dean's cards listed them as "commuting" students, were actually residents of the large women's residence district.
A member of the elections committee. Tom Shumaker, Russell junior, testified that several "people said the address on the dean's card was wrong. They were asked to go to the Business Office and have it corrected."
Face Fascination Is Art Theme In Diversified Exhibit Sunday
By Rogers Worthington
Ever since Narcissus fell in love with the reflection of his own face, man has been fascinated by the image of the human face.
The subject of the human face and its images as interpreted by artists is the theme of an exhibit, titled "Images: 23 Interpretations," to be held in the Museum of Art beginning Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m.
The works of such major artists as Picasso, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec and Rodin will be represented.
"DIVERSITY," EMPHASIZED Gerald Bernstein, curator of the art museum, "is the main point of the show." Paintings will run the gamut of artistic interpretation from photographic realism to abstraction, he said.
"But for all the abstraction, there is always the image."
Bernstein, who feels that many people think of modern art as monolithic, thinks this exhibition will also serve as an educational device.
"This show will re-enforce the fact that there is diversity in modern
art, and that there is no one consistent path or direction."
"IN MANY WAYS," Bernstein continued, "this show is the most important exhibit we've had all year.
"We've gone out of our way to get perfect examples of all the important schools and styles," he said.
Woman." (Bernstein's title) represents the cubist school of art, in which Picasso was so influential.
The time period covered by the 23 different interpretations of the human face begins in the nineteenth century and extends right up to the present, Bernstein explained.
Pablo Picasso's "Hatchet-headed
AS AN EXAMPLE, Bernstein referred to the handling of light and the "dissolving of form in light" by artists of different time periods.
In many of the paintings by artists of the realist and naturalist schools, certain similarities exist despite differences in time periods in which the works were produced, he said.
one painting, by Pavel Tchelti chew, titled "Interior Landscape head," depicts the human head as being constructed of concentric circles.
The painting shows Picasso's attempt to make use of the fourth dimension, time, for which he saecrificed the third dimension, depth, Bernstein said.
"Sands of Time" by Robert Green, a surrealist, also a KU faculty member, will be on display.
In addition to the paintings, three sculptures will be in the exhibit. Rodin's bust of Baudelaire will be among the three.
The other two are of T. E. Eliot, and John Marin, an American landscape painter.
Weather
Partly cloudy to cloudy and unsettled conditions are forecast for Friday. The weather bureau forecast occasional thunderstorms for tonight and tomorrow. The high tomorrow will be in the middle 60's.
