LOCKING IT UP
BY DANIEL JOHNSON djohnson@kansan.com
Tonight, Herndon, a School of Business alumnus, will star as himself in a lecture at the Lied Center.
FBI agent Robert Herndon has helped bring down corrupt judges, expose a crooked pharmacist and oust high-level executives of a multi-million-dollar corporation. His cases have been written about in books, discussed in documentaries, fictionalized in televised legal dramas and, as of September, adapted in a major Hollywood movie, "The Informant!"
The lecture, "Clues from the Convicts: Life Lessons on Character, Leadership and Ethics from the Files of the FBI," will feature some of the biggest cases Herndon worked in the past 23 years and the life lessons he has learned.
Hernード is an agent with the White Collar Crime Squad in the Kansas City FBI and was recently portrayed as one of two FBI agents in the movie "The Informant!" starring Matt Damon.
"CLUES FROM THE CONVICTS"
**WHO:** Robert Herndon,
FBI agent and KU alumnus
**WHEN:** 7 p.m.
**WHERE:** Lied Center
He said although TV and moves could blur the lines of reality, he essence of his experiences remained the same.
"Our cases are never solved in an hour and most of us don't look as good as the actors who play us," Herndon said. "But there are many things that do translate."
"I believe he delivered one of the most powerful and effective messages business students will ever hear," said Keith Chauvin,
Tonight's lecture, which is part of the Anderson Chandler Lecture Series, will be Herndon's second lecture sponsored by the School of Business. The first was in 2006, when Herndon spoke about ethical decision-making in professional environments.

While Kim Koelling volunteered at the Fair Trade Holiday Market at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, she savored a few bites of a Divine brand chocolate bar. Koelling read the wrapper, which explained that the chocolate came from Kuapakokoo Farmer's Cooperative in Ghana and also told how it was made.
She bought the chocolate bar at the market, which opened Friday and will run until Thursday.
Alicia Erickson, organizer of the market and owner of Two Hands Worldshop, a local fair trade organization, said the market had been going on for more than 10 years. The market features more than 15 vendors and products that range from chocolate and coffee to jewelry, bags, scarves and candles. There is even

Bicycle thefts are occurring at a higher rate this semester than last year, according to the campus crime log. There have been 14 thefts this semester, totaling more than $6,000 in losses. There were only nine bicycle thefts and a total of
about $4,000 in losses in the most recent full academic year.
Public Safety Office said simple precautions could prevent theft.
Most importantly, campus police suggested students use U-locks to secure their bicycles. Though chain and cable locks are better than nothing, Bailey said these seemed to be more vulnerable to smaller and more common cutting tools. Each year at student orientation, campus police remind students that the value of their bicycle should be a factor when they are deciding what type of lock to purchase.
"We tell them, 'Don't spend $1,000 on your bike and $10 on your lock.' Bailey said. "If I was going to spend the money a decent bike costs today, I would definitely
