There is a good chance that most stolen
textbooks containing some type of identification
can be recovered, according to Sergeant Paul
Stansel of the University Police Department.
"We recommend that students put their
name and social security number at two places
in their books: on a page they can remember
easily, near the binder, and on the inside of the
cover." Stansel said.
He added that when the books can be
positively identified, most of them can he
recovered when the thieves try to resell the
books at the bookstore.
"Whenever a student has a book stolen, he
should contact the campus police and the
bookstore The bookstore can identify who
reso'd the book to them by an identification
system they use." Stansel said.
According to William Chambers, manager of
the University bookstore, anyone who resells a
book is required to give his I D. number ai.a
must sign the receipt.
"His I D. number is recorded onto the
purchase slip and on the inside of the book
cover, and three copies are made of the
receipt. When the rightful owner comes and
finds his book in the store, we can look at the

"He thinks I serve at the

added she is currently looking
for someone to lake her place as
student representative.
In a last minute move, the city
council approved a request from
the University’s cheerleaders to
close the section of College

inside cover and match that number with the
receipt number, identifying who resold the
hook." Chambers said.
Chambers added that the number of hooks
stolen is just a fraction of what it used to be;
the identification system has made thieves
think twice before they take a book.
According to Stansel. there haven’t been
many thefts reported recently, but there are
usually more at the end of the quarter.
He added the theft of less than $200 worth of
books is a misdemeanor and is punishable by a
fine not exceeding $1000 and-or as much as a
year in jail. Thefts of books worth more than
$200 are considered felonies.
The problem of hubcap thefts has continued
on campus according to police reports.
Six sets of hubcaps were reported stolen
between Monday and Tuesday afternoons. The
average value of the sets was $200 each.
Two sets were stolen from cars parked in the
Georgia Center Conference parking lot. One set
was stolen from cars parked in four different
lots: the J zone lot on River Road, the Payne
Hall H zone lot, the Pharmacy School parking
lot, and the Myers Hall H zone lot.
Stansel urges students to report any
suspicious persons or loiterers they see in the
parking lots to the campus police at 542-2200.
Brooks speaks to Ag students
By VALERIE IIAMMOND
Staff writer
“Except for agriculture, this
country would be in desperate
economic condition,” said
world-renowned agricultural
economist D.W. Brooks Tues
day at the College of Agricul
ture's fourth annual honorary
D.W. Brooks lecture.
Brooks, a University alum
nus with 50 years of experience
in agriculture, discussed the
“Politics and Economics of
Agriculture” before a crowd of
150 in the law school auditor
ium.
As a former agricultural
adviser to Presidents Truman,
Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson
and Ford, Brooks used per
sonal experiences to trace and
evaluate changes in agricul
ture in the past 50 years.
"We’ve always had ups and
downs, and mostly downs,"
said Brooks, emphasizing the
plight as well as the national
and international importance
of the American farmer.
Brooks attributed many of
the countries agricultural eco
nomic “downs” to govern
mental errors. "It takes on
mistake of a president to foul
up everything in agriculture,”
said Brooks, pointing out such
events as Nixon's embargo of
farm commodities. Brooks also
named recessions and the
depression as having had
negative effects on agriculture.
Brooks mentioned government
actions which aided agricul
ture emphasizing President
Franklin D. Roosevelt's move
to devalue gold and put
agricultural production in line
with consumption as having
had a great positive impact on
agriculture and the economic
condition of farmers.
Brooks named the poor
economic condition of farmers as
his major concern. “This
family farmer that we have is
the most efficient producer in
the world" but he is "at the
bottom of the economic lad
der." Brooks said.
Brooks discussed his at
tempts to improve the farm
er's standard of living. During
the depression, an all time
economic low for farmers,
Brooks founded Gold Kist. a
highly successful and still
thriving farmer’s cooperative.
“The only way you’re going
to have a high scale of living is
by having high productivity,”
Brooks said
Now a member of the
Presidential Commission on
World Hunger. Brooks wpw
sed a firm belief in the current
United States policy of ex
porting, rather than storing,
surplus farm commodities.
Brooks said he advised the
government to export surplus
because it would benefit
starving countries while bring
ing up prices of agricultural
commodities at home, thereby
helping the farmer.
Brooks closed emphasizing
the importance of good agri
culture to the future “Popu
lation growth means that
we’ve (agriculturists) got to
learn as much about producing
more food as we’ve learned
since the beginning of man,”
said Brooks

ATLANTA (UPI)—‘The Geor
gia Supreme Court unanimously
upheld the life sentences of
three women Wednesday in the
fatal beating of a Winder
sporting goods store owner last
year.
The court said Wallace Mob

with an aluminum baseball bat
and robbed. He died three
weeks later of head injuries.
Five persons, two men and
three women, were convicted
and sentenced to life in prison.
The court said Laverne Jones,
38. the manager of the sporting
goods store, conspired with
Barbara Casper, 22, and Linda
Gordon. 22. to rob her em
ployer. The court said she
enlisted the aid of Ray Johnson.
24, and James Tanner, 35, to
carry out the crime.
Trial evidence indicated Mrs.
Jones called Mobley to his
store, and Tanner, who was
hiding behind a soft drink
machine with Johnson, then
beat Mobley with the bat.
Tanner, tried separately and
given a life sentence, was called
to testify at the trial of Johnson
and the three women, but
refused
The supreme court rejected
a defense argument that prose
cutors knew Tanner would not
testify, and had only called him
to ‘inflame’ the jury with his
silence.
