Mighty Joe'
Suspected in
Phone Theft
Is Mighty Joe Young on the
loose?
his was the big question when
a telephone was discovered miss-
'ing from the wall of 102 South
Wing. The crime was discovered
at 8 a.m. yesterday by Prof. L. B.
Kiddie of the romance language
department, who uses the room as
an office. The thief had evidently
gained admittance by. prying open
a window.
-* * *
"ObVIOUSLY great strength
was used to rip the phone, cord
and all, from the wall," Prof.
Kiddle said.
He suggested the intruder had
been driven to violence in a fit of
frustrated anger at finding such
meager returns in a professor's
office.
'a"The culprit is definitely not
Spanish student" deduced the
professor, as his large collection
of Spanish grammars had been
left uftouched.
"My colleagues have even ac-
cused .me of stealing the phone
rmyself so they couldn't contact
me," Prof. Kiddle added.
Psychologists remain baffled as
to a motive for the crime. "Maybe
he could set up an extension in
his basement" was one answer to
the problem.
Mighty Joe Young was suggested
by several as a prime suspect in
the case- The large ape, who gained
prominence in a recent film, has
een. . cited before on similar
charges. At present his where-
abouts are unknown.
"The case bears definite evi-
dence of ape-like passion" said
Michael Lamb, '52, amateur psy-
chologist.
iVaybe, one student musingly
suggested, Ann Arbor police ought
to assign a man to each phone for
protection.
