Crime Hits All-time Low Campus Patrol States Disciplinary Actions During the last year and a half student misdemeanors and disor ders have been lower than in any other period of the College’s his tory, according to Capt. Philip Mark of the Campus patrol. Almost six months of that pe riod went by without even a stolen coat being reported. At times coats and ether articles have been reported missing from Sparks at the rate of three a day. Captain Mark feels that the low rate of crime is due to coopera tion by the heads of the various schools and departments with the patrol. A first offender is re ported to the head of his school. No disciplinary action is taken by the patrol although they keep a record of all students caught vio lating some rule or law. A second . offense means that the person will be charged with some misdemeanor at the State College Police station. Captain Mark reports that no student has broken the same rule twice. In 1942 the patrol was trou bled by peeping toms, robberies, arid boy meeting girl after hours. Since these offenders have be edme extremely infrequent, the head of the patrol believes that campus morals have hit a new high; Independent Students Plan Fairmounf Picnic IMA and IWA will hold 4 joint picnic at Fairmount Park, 4' pi m.
