Fraternity Theft Cases Pose Baffling Questions Police were puzzled yesterday as two unsolved questions arose from mixed-up stories about several fraternity houses, nine State College teen-agers, and several recovered stolen articles without a home. One puzzler currently baffling police is who walked into Zeta Beta Tau over the Easter recess and stole over $5O in cash, two shirts, and five sets of cufflinks Nine State College high school youths who admitted to entering five fraternities over the holiday to steal what they could, said Zeta Beta Tau was one they didn't burglarize. However, the boys have admit ted they do not know by name what fraternities they entered. In order to find out what ones they did visit, police had to drive them around town, having them point out the ones they recognized as having burglarized. Shown Front According to one patrolman, the bus were shown the front of Zeta Beta Tau, although, if they entered it at all, it was through the back. Today, they will be shown the rear of the house to see if they recognize it. A tougher mystery facing po lice is who are original owners of several cigarette lighters, pens, pencils, and other small items taken from the boys.
