Police remain perplexed after triple office theft Two purses and a wallet stolen Monday from University Child Care, 1432 N St, left police with a mystery. Assistant Police Chief Mylo . Bushing said around 2:45 p.m., a woman reported she left a purse underneath her desk in the main office at the center, and it was missing. The woman said she was in and out of her office all day and the door was unlocked and open. Bushing said. Bushing said the woman went to look for something in her purse around 2 p.m. when she noticed the whole purse was missing. The woman said inside the purse were her credit cards, a checkbook, a payroll check and a $50 cellular phone. Bushing said the total loss was about $65. Around 3:15 p.m., two other women contacted the UNL police and reported their purses missing, he said. One woman said she left her purse underneath her desk in the main office of the child care center, and she returned to find it missing as well, he said. • Bushing said the items in her purse when it was stolen were her keys, driver’s license, credit cards and $60 in cash. The woman said she too had been in and out of the main office all day, and the door was unlocked and open. The third woman reported her wallet containing her ID card, credit cards and $17 was stolen from the kitchen of the child care center, Bushing said. The woman said her wallet was next to the microwave, and she was in and out of the kitchen all day, he said. Shortly after the last two women reported their wallets missing, a Gateway Mall securi ty guard called one woman and said her purse was found in a Spencer Gifts shopping bag in the mall, Bushing said. Everything in the purse was returned except the $60. Then, around 7 p.m., a Gateway Mall security guard 1 called another of the women and said her purse was also found ttys time in an empty storage locker at the mall, Bushing said. Nothing was missing from the second purse. The missing wallet was not recovered, he said. Compiled by Jill Conner Salary hike sparks ire SAUUtV from page 1 Beck said other tilings need to be taken into consideration besides faculty salary raises. She said salary isn't the only factor in the retention of administration and faculty. “I seriously doubt that (pre vious chancellors) left here pri marily because they were under paid,” Beck said. “I think they left for bigger places with more pres tige." When the Vice Chancellor for Agriculture and Natural Resources was hired last year, the university offered a salary of $192,000, a $12,000 bump from the previous vice chancellor’s salary. Wilson said the university has to offer higher salaries to prospective faculty to remain competitive. Along with a salary increase, Perlman also receives other perks, including a car provided by the NU Foundation and a personal maid for his house, which Perlman has said he does n’t use.
