Campus Cop Steps Down
To Hardy Cheers, Tears
After twenty years of service,
Patrolman Helmut Schiller, of the
University police force, went into
retirement yesterday.
Veteran campaigner in the"
toughest regiment this side ofx
Harvard," Schiller donned his full
uniform, pinned on his medals, and
strode out of his Administration,
Building office amid cheers, con-
gratulations and tears.
HE IS perhaps best known for
his part in the "Great Deke Raid"
of 1946, but has aided in nearly
every major action of the depart-
ment since 1935. Decorated ex-
tensively by the Administration
on several instances, Schiller ex-
plained that he wears his medals
continually "to show my unbend-
ing loyalty."

SCHILLER'S testimony in the
recent Psi U case revealed some of
the most stellar police work of his
career. If he hadn't got stuck in
the chimney while entering the
house, the raid would have been
concluded some two hours earlier,
thereby saving countless hangov-
ers.
At a goingaway party in his
benefit, Schiller was presented
with a case of mineral water and
a message of congratulations from
President Alexander Ruthbone.
