One Hundred Dollars Reward Cnlyn Greer Robbery of several items occurred at G.S.U. during the Christmas break. The Dean of CCS, The Innovator and Paul Schranz's offices, were vandalized. Missing from the In novator was a typewriter, a camera which was the personal property of a student, a light meter, and a tape recorder. Taken from Paul Schranz's office was $1,400.00 worth of cameras and lighting systems. Strangely enough the robbers did not bother personal property of both professorBracken and professor Schranz. Various items were taken from the Dean of CCS office, including a clock. The robbery is not covered by insurance because according to Richard Strutters of the Business Office, "The state does not allow us to insure equipment." The items taken will have to be replaced from the budget somewhere and this willtake some time." Meanwhile the robberyhas hurt the students because they no longer have these items to learn from. A work-study job no longer exists becauseof damage to a dark room where a student worked. For this reason students of photography have raised 50 dollars of their own money towards the reward. Fifty dollars was also contributed by Paul Schranz and Mel Muchni.k. The reward will only be given for the arrest and convictions of the thieves.

In the • • • past it was very difficult to find these • • • • • • students. Mr. Franklin pointed out that a • • • • • student might not have the money to repay • • • • the university so the present system will be • • • • • • better.

He said it was un • • • • fortunate for students that the change did not • • • • • occur in September, because he realizes that • • • • • students have included the money they were • • • • • to receive January 1, in their current • • • • • budgets.

Ms. Haig 3:03 3:10 3:15 3.25 3 j3 J:.lG <1:03 .1; 10 4:�5 -1·25 !:33 offered some good points on the expense,both in money and inconvenience, by using the .l:-•) 5:10 s: 15 5:20 ., 5.25 3:33 R.T.A. (Regional Transit Authority) service. The cost she cited,however, was on the 5:38 5:45 5:50 � 5:55 5:03 assumption that students leave from the Randolph Street station.

Now , I would like to reply to Mr. David's concerns. I cannot speak forothers but despite · Sa:�rday: �o Charge receiving some financial aid I pay for my travel expenses,or rather, the greater portion of the money I earn under State Funds does. I think transportation is eating up a larger por tion of work study student's funds. It is my understanding that Student Services Is to L�X/E:S SOV£�NCR .\.��:·::s provide se rvices to the students. Because of my tight schedule, the G.S. U. bus service was ..,r , ... 3uR�.,,:M .i ,£37E��� i S7.l.7:: s-..;E�n<EL � .....-\,; -.,��: ': one ofthe few services I've used. I think investigation will show that many of the st udents C:XCHAt:GE �XC:�ANGE 'JN �·J;::•s: -v C.;. L�.�vES who pay the mandatory student service fee do not attend the functions listed under humanities and student organizations. Why can't some of these funds be rechanneled to 5 · 30A/1 :i 5. 38A.� 5:45�� 5:55AM 5. J 1Ai·1 5:25 restore the G.S.U. bus service? I don't feel that 'lack of funds' is a realistic issue. Mr. Davis 6:10 H 6: i3 5:35 5;55 6: so :i 6:58 7 7::S-i.25 expressed concern about competing with R.T. A., a commercial service. If the G.S.U. bus :OS 7:�5 7 :2� jJ i.2S 7:38 �:.!.5 i:�� could beviewed as competition why are car pools and commuter shuffle services,provided by some communities,allowed? Considering the problems confronting the R. T.A .,I feel the lossof businessbetween the train station and G .S. U. to be something it could absorb. What concerns me is that as a person I have been denied a viable alternative and this I resent. I do not feel that I am alone in this and hopethat this se rvice to the university body Eff�cti ''e •tovemoer f367 - �ONOAY - �IJAY - '..ES790liND 21' 19i7 will be restored as soon as possible.
