Student Faces Grand Larceny
George W, Porter II, Leawood sorhomore, has been charged with grand larceny in connection with a theft Saturday morning of more than $650 from his fraternity house.
Porter admitted taking the cash and checks from the office of the president of the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity and then hiding the money and burning the cheeks, according to Sheriff Fred Brocker and Undersheriff Rex Johnson, when they apprehended Porter.
The money was hidden in the Santa Fe railroad depot in Lawrence and has been recovered.
PORTER IS now free on $1,500 bond and will be arraigned at 10 a.m. Friday in County Court by Judge C. C. Rankin. Porter was arrested Saturday afternoon after being followed six miles northwest of Lawrence near Lakeview by Broeker, Johnson, and Jim Collins, assistant police chief. He was attempting to recover the safe he had discarded on the side of the road when he was apprehended by the police.
Collins said Porter admitted taking the metal strong box of cash and checks. He told Collins he returned from Kansas City about 6 a.m. Saturday and entered the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity.
After taking the money Porter told Collins he took the box and drove to Lakeview, opened the box, removed the money and burned the cheeks. He then took the money to the Santa Fe station and locked it in a locker, Collins said.
Porter told Collins he took the money to finance a trip to Mexico.
and president of SUA, said the reason for calling off the buses to New York, New Orleans and San Francisco was lack of interest.
He said there were too few people interested and the buses were not chartered.
Enberg said the people who had originally signed up for the trip had obviously "found other ways" of getting home.
The original plan for the trips was for students to sign a list in the SUA office indicating an interest in going on one of the busses. The next week a down payment was to be paid in the office and last Friday the remainder of the fair was to be paid
On Friday 11 people had cancelled the New York trip and only 3 people were interested in going on the bus to San Francisco.
Enberg said the travel committee plans to set up the trips again next year for Christmas, Thanksgiving and Spring vacations. He said the only reasons for the cancellations was the lack of student interest.
Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. in the Forum room of the Kansas Union, professor of psychology Roger Barker will discuss the results of a study of English and American children that he began ten years ago and recently completed.
Prof. Barker traveled to Layburn, Yorkshire, England, ten years ago to gather data on the children there in a "growing up" situation, Sally Brackett, Hinsdale, Ill. senior and president of the undergraduate psychology club said. The club will sponsor the lecture.
Prof. Barker's study was made in conjunction with the Midwestern Psychological Field Station in Oskaloosa, of which he is currently director.
Child Study to be Discussed
Last fall Prof. Barker returned to Layburn to gather new data to compare with data recently gathered in Oskalosa.
Prof. Barker will discuss the results of this "study across cultures and intervals of time," Prof. Herbert Wright, head of the department of psychology, said.
"The program will not be so technical that those not in psychology can't understand it," Miss Brackett said.
"The study was conducted with children from five years of age, through high school," she explained. "An attempt was made to determine what forces from their environment work on them to cause them to develop as they do," she said.

"How children grow up, and the forces that act on them are the primary studies carried on by the station," Miss Brackett said.
Professor Barker was head of the KU psychology department from 1932-47, and during that time, he and Prof. Wright established the Midwest Psychological Field Station at Oskaloosa.
The station is unique, in that it is the only one of its kind in the nation. Miss Brackett said.
