Break-ins
Thieves Hit,
#
Gain $4,000
By JULIAN WEITZ
An unusually high number
of break-ins was reported at
‘the University over the
Christmas vacation. Some 14
fraternity and sorority houses
4 were burglarized and a total
of nearly $4 000 in clothing,
stereos and typewriters was
reported missing
Hardest hit by these "Yule-
tide thieves" was the Tau
Epsilon Phi house on the cor
ner of Baxter and Lumpkin
^Streets This house alone suf
fered damages amounting to
over $200Q
According to Captain E M
a Nix of University Security
these break-ins can be large
ly attributed to local teenag
ers. In a previous inspection
Vat the end of fall quarter
campus police found only one
of the 14 houses properly se
cured Entrance to most of
•the houses was easily gained
through conveniently un
locked windows and doors
As a deterrent to future in
cidences of this kind. Captain
Nix suggested that all frater
nities and sororities carefully
check their houses to make
sure that all doors and win
dows are properly secured
In addition, outside lights
should be left on throughout
the entire vacation.
After obtaining entrance
into the houses, the individu
al room doors were pried
open with crowbars and other
tools which were later found
on the premises
Although no arrests have
been made as of yet, five
cases have been brought to
bear A small portion of the
missing articles have been
recovered and campus police
are doing everything in their
power to recover the remain
ing stolen items and to ap
prehend those persons re
