PAGE EIGHT Petty Stealing Continues In Women's Dormitories During the past year petty stealing in the women's dorms has occurred at approximately the same rate as in previous years. according to an informal survey of women students and nine residence hall hostesses. The primary complaint of the women is the frequent and at times mystifying disappear ance of money. Instances quoted show that change lying loose in unlocked rooms and cash in vaiy ing amounts have been stolen throughout the year. Some of the coeds repotted that at times large sums hidden in se cluded places in locked rooms have been taken. There were no suggestions as to how the locked rooms are entered or how the hiding places have been discov ered However, some of the wom en speculated that some of the robberies have been based on di rect knowledge of whet e the money was hidden. The ma )(wily of complaints come from the larger dui mitm ics where a gill may wander into ;1111 cetion of the building and enter unlocked looms however, in the smaller South Halls thf moble.m is still prevalent. An estimate of the amount of money misisng in the women's residences this year in impos sible due to the fact that no of fenses have been reported to the campus patrol and very few hostesses questioned could cite actual complaints brou-ht to them by the women. At different times dui mg the Year stealing becomes e,pecially prevalent Hostesses the ma jority of the offenses occur before the Christmas and EaQtei holala‘s and befnie the end of 111,. furs.

Within the upiversities, he ex plained, the student governing bodies act as advisory boards to the faculty. However, he said, in the event of national uprising, student govern ment becomes a strong political power and may demonstrate its influence in various ways such as refusal to attend classes. According to Friedman Freud, a member of the research staff of the Department of Ceramic En gineering from Wetzlar, Germany, student government in Germany is based on a system of corpora tions. These corporations are in some ways comparable to our frater nities. They are composed of stu dents , studying within the same curriculum.
