Lost and Found Department
Returns Misplaced Articles
By HELEN LUYBEN
“Like Hell it’s yours; put it
back” is a small sign on a green
cabinet in the main Student Un
ion office In Old Main. This bit
of , literary prose, taped to the
holder of all lost and found artL
cles turned in,'* serves as a re
minder to employees working in
the department, according to
George Donovan, Student Union
director.
Of course he’s only joking, but
the business that goes on in the
office is a serious one. For it is
the purpose of that department
to see that lost or strayed books,
pens, pencils, wallets, matches,
and fraternity pins are recovered
and returned to their rightful
owners.
Donovan has requested students
to “Please place your name and
address on all books, notebooks,
pens, and slide rules. Without
this information, it is impossible
to expect that you will ever re
trieve any article you may lose.”
Can Claim Articles
Just a look inside that green
cabinet will show shelves of text
books, several watches, a dozen
assorted class rings, wallets, pur-

Lady Seeks Jewelry

and she was over, here to get it
in two minutes flat.”

be stored easily are kept from
year to year, but other things are
given to the Salvation Army at
the end of July. He said he would
urge students to keep calling for
lost valuables, even though they
may not turn up right away.
“We long ago debunked the
idea ox the absent-minded profes
sor,” Donovan said. “Students
are the ones who lose things. One
professor to roughly every hun
dred students ever comes asking
for something he’s lost.
Most things are lost by stu
dents in the Liberal Arts school,
according to Donovan, arid wo
men have a tendency to be more
careless with their things'-than
men. This, he said, is probably
because men have more pockets
in their, clothing, whereas women
carry everything in their- ar-ms.-
The department discourages the
idea of offering rewards for' the
return of lost articles, Donovan
said, but works on the pi'inciple
that everyone is honest and will
turn in anything he finds. Then
when it is that same person who
has lost something! he will expect
to find it in that big, green cabi
net in Old 'Main.
