Many profess that "the only measure of the power of our na- tion is the missile stock pile," he said to the attentive crowd. "This must be rejected." His strongest words were saved as usual, for the Indo- china war. "We have been told that we must seek an honor- able peace," he said. "The peace will only be honorable when we have the courage to say we made a mistake and then take the action to end it. McGovern has made a con- certed effort to garner the vote of the minority groups in Cali- fornia. If these voters, once considered the private constitu- ency of Humphrey, choose Mc- Govern as polls indicated they will, the South Dakota senator will have a smashing victory. Yesterday, McGovern went to a rally in the Spanish speaking district of San Francisco. He told the large gathering that they were a "vital part of a new coalition" that will elect the next President. The crowd cheered loudly when McGovern promised to "Turn the country away from killing, destruction and war to peace." This weekend and early next week McGovern is planning to spend the last half of the $400,000 he alloted to the California cam- paign. Humphrey on the other hand is short of money and will have only limited media expo- sure. Humphrey is counting on a strong come from behind surge in the two days following the third of three televised debates between the Minnesota senator and McGovern tomorrow. With large crowds, good poll results and a. ready stipply of campaign funds McGovern seems to be on the road to a California victory for the Demo- cratic nomination. By CHRIS PARKS Last Friday night a thief forced the door on Sally Brown's apartment. When he left he took her television with him. The chances are good that he won't get caught, Sally (not her real name) is only one of 39 people who got ripped off over the Memorial Day weekend. And Tuesday night 10 more breaking and enterings were reported. Every year more than a million dol- lars of property is stolen in the city. The number of burglaries is increasing-up more than 400 cases from last year, ac- cording to police figures. Even more frightening is the trend toward rip-offs in private dwellings- especially student apartments. According to Chief of Police Walter Krasny, "Businesses used to be the pri- mary target. Now, however, the pattern has changed. For every business which is robbed, five or 10 homes are hit." These homes for the most part are apartments or rooming houses-typical student residences. Surprisingly, modern apartments may be even more vulnerable than older structures. According to Krasny, the cement patio with sliding windows so common to many newer dwellings pro- vides an easy entrance for the prospec- tive burglar. Preventing robberies and arresting burglars is a monumental task-only 20 to 40 per cent of all robberies ever end in arrest, Krasny reports. The life style of students-coming and going at all hours of the night, leaving doors unlocked, the transient nature of the population-contributes to making Ann Arbor a good city for burglars to live and work in.
