Armory, An drews hall, and Alpha Phi so rority house, among its victims, netted robbers a total of more than one hundred dollars, during the past week, reports to police disclosed. The Cornhusker office was thor oughly ransacked and looted of all the money that could be found Fri day night, which amounted to four dollars, according to Bob Thiele, business manager. "However," Thiele stated, "the thieves were un able to locate twenty dollars which Woodrow Magee had secreted late that night." When the office was approached Saturday morning the door was ajar and, when entered, the office looked as if a hurricane had struck it, Thiel declared. Papers were strewn all over the floor, electric light bulbs were smashed, none of them being spared, the telephone wire was cut, desk drawers were pried open in the business manager's desk, and the contents, with the drawers, were thrown on the floor. Chaos was prevalent everywhere. Think Key Used. As the door was free from marks indicating the use of force in gaining admittance, Officer Reglar, in commenting upon the robbery, stated that a key was un doubtedly used for entering the premises. Another victim of thievery was the Alpha Phi house, located at 1531 S st., which was looted to the extent of fifty dollars. During the noon hour while the members were eating lunch in the basement, some one entered and, invading all the rooms, searched the girls' purses and finally departed taking ap proximately half a hundred dollars in currency with them. From three pocketbooks in the women's gymnasium and another in a classroom in Andrews hall, a grand total of sixty dollars was made away with by robbers. As a final comment Officer Reg lar stated that students should be more careful and cautious in the way they leave valuable securi ties lying around and that the neg lect and carelessness on the part of the students had much to do with incrementing the number of robberies taking place on the campus. - 478 ARE ASSIGNED WORK Checks Are Issued To 434; Average Pay Slightly Under $15.
