Crime
By DANIEL OKRENT
Last of a Three Part Series
Stealing a book or smashing a
dormitory vending machine may
not be as serious criminal acts as
rape or dope-pushing, but in
terms of cost and man-hours,
these crimes of theft and van-
dalism leave their mark on the
University.
University Security Officer Rol-
land Gainsly is the man with
the job of policing the classroom
and office buildings on campus.
His force of 30 Sanford Security
agents, supervised from a radio
office in the parking structure on
Church St. near South University,
runs 23 different routes four times
each night.

'

The agents, retained on private
contract, keep a lookout for thefts
of objects ranging from television
sets to engineering supplies and
-on one occasion last year-
$3500 worth of gems from the
Exhibit Museum.
The security patrolmen also in-
vestigate daytime robberies from
open buildings. The number one
target for this variety of theft is
the Barbour-Waterman gymna-
sium complex, where at least one
wallet or billfold - sometimes
containing upwards of $50 - is
stolen every week.
"It's a simple matter of stu-
dents going to take a shower and
not even bothering to lock their

lockers while they're gone,"
Gainsley says.
The University library system
also suffers from a major theft
problem. Although the General
Libray staff is not able to take
complete inventories of books
shelved in that building, the an-
nual losses from the Undergrad-
uate Library give an indication
of the high rate of theft.
Miss Rose-Grace Faucher, di-
rector of the UGLI, last conducted
a full inventory at the end of the
1966-67 academic year. The re-
sults of that survey show an an-
,nual loss of over $20,000 worth of
books from the UGLI's shelves.,
The figure is derived from an
estimated $8 value for each of the

more than 2500 missing books,
the great majority of which were
stolen from reserve-listed cate-
gories. Sociology volumes ranked
first in "theft appeal," followed
by those classed as "literature."
"I'm sure that the new closed
reserve system will reduce thefts
greatly," Miss Faucher says, bud
she adds that the UGLI's exit in-
spection system would have to be-
come fool-proof before the flow of
stolen books is stopped entirely.
Most stolen books are probably
spirited out underneath the out-
ercoats of exiting library patrons,
she says, and the inspectors can't
frisk everyone that passes by the
checking desk.
If someone is found attempting

to leave the library without check-
ing out a book, Miss Faucher ex-
plains, the inspectors must pre-
sume that the offender is inno-
cent and unaware that he has
failed to appropriately charge the
volume. Usually, they are told to
return to the charging desk to le-
gally remove the book from the
building.
Mutilation is another trouble
for the library system, particu-
larly in the case of periodicals.
Because of their large size, pros-
pective thieves often are not able
to take a complete bound volume,
so they settle for a few needed
pages instead.
Another facet of the stolen book

problem is manifested in the large
resale market in Ann Arbor's
bookstores. Books picked up from
dormitory coat racks, classroom
desks and restaurant tables are
easily converted into money
through sale to-.the local retailers.
The dormitory system is an-
other locus of considerable theft
and destruction. Chet Malinoski,
business manager for the Univer-
sity housing system, reports that
in recent months furniture from
dormitory lounges have been a
particularly prime target. Some
thieves have gone so far as to re-
move entire rugs from dorm pub-
lie areas.
Vandalism in the dormitories is

also considerable. Elevators in
Markley Hall are often out-of-
order for periods of days because
of tampering with the electrical
systems. Would-be pranksters, al-
tering. a dormitory's water flow,
have put a whole building on cold
water only.
Security officer Gainsley, whose
duties include functioning as a
referral agency for students in-
volved in any type of crime, does
not think the overall situation is
particularly serious. "Students are
no different today than they were
years ago; there'll always be some
who will step out of line, but on
the whole, most of them just
don't get into trouble.

Douglas Harvey failed to appear
last night for a debate originally
scheduled between Harvey and
Rev. Ewin A. Gaede on the use of
the county jail's incorrigible cell.
Rev. Gaede, however, gave an
informal talk to an audience of

'The Right Manner'
Van Wylen said he is concerned
with protecting the rights of all
the students. "We must keep in
mind both the students wishing to
be interviewed without being dis-
rupted by demonstrators, and
those students who wish to ques-

Gaede. minister of Ann Arbor's
First Unitarian Church, spoke of
the incorrigible cell as "the hole,".

no light except three quarter-inch
