Operation ID prevents pilferage Gifted children face

the University's Department of
Safety, claims the high inci-
dence of theft on campus is due
to outsiders.
"We get an untrustworthy ele-
ment that A roams through the
buildings every day," Davids
explains. "Calculators, type-
writers, and televisions go. One
week end we lost six or eight
typewriters from one build-
ing."
Davids says that, with the
constant flow of traffic, "It's
very difficult, almost impossi-
ble, to tell the differences be-
tween thieves and students. But
when we do find two or three
troublemakers, we get on their,
tails and just harass them off
campus."
Operation Identification has
been successful in the past
against thieves, according to

city Crime Prevention Officer
Al Padilla. Of 2,971 breakings
and enterings, he notes, only 63
of them (2.2 per cent) were into
buildings that used OID. Of
those 63 instances, 30 times
there was nothing taken.
ON CAMPUS, the Department
of Safety and the Housing Office
lend scribers in exchange for
University I. D. cards. Engrav-
ers can also be borrowed at
police and fire stations, YM-
YWCAs, and offices of Inde-
pendent Insurance Agents. The
engravers must be -returned
within 48 hours.
"We've loaned out 700 engrav-
ers citywide for the last year,"
says Padilla. "It's been a very
effective program for those who
have used it."
Davids estimates the increase
in theft of personal property on
campus over the last year has

been 15-18 per cent. "A very
high percentage of loss of per-
sonal property is due to the
negligence of the owner," he
comments.
S T U D E N T housing
areas, such as the ones south
of Hill and north of Huron, have
high theft rates. "There's a lot
of older homes there that have
been cut up for apartments -
that hurts security," Padilla
says. Another hard-hit area is
the triangle bounded by Pack-
ard, Main, William and State.
Padilla also emphasizes the
theft problem in the dorms.
"Over 25 per cent of our illegal
entries are through unlocked
doors," he states. In fact, Wil-
liams says that two women
once 'furnished' their apart-
ment with furniture stolen from
the university.

tion. Others leave high school
after their junior year and
start college early. Still others
cram in required courses and
graduate in three years.
These 16 and 17-year-old fresh
people don't seem to be hurt so-
cially. Eleanor Hall, a member
of the Ann Arbor Association for
Gifted Children, says, "The
ones that enter college early
tend to be more active than
those of the same IQ who re-
main in high school four years."
This is based on a Ford Foun-
dation study conducted in the
fifties, according to Hall.
The University will be the
site for a two-week session to
be held in July for gifted. junior

high students to' help them
choose a career. As Hall, the
program's director, puts it, "It
is difficulte to try to decide what
you're going to do with your
life if you're good at every-
thing."

tute sponsors a number of oth-
er nationwide programs to
bring together and help counsel
