Increased thefts may prompt new security measures By MICHAEL T. CALVERT Shoplifting arrests at the UConn Co-op have been averaging two a day for at least the past week and a half, and the Co-op is "seriously considering" television surveillance to stop it. according to the Co-op's manager. Raymond Verrey said Thursday he had not wanted to consider such measures before because he thought honest students who shop at the Co-op would consider it an "insult." but said the recent increase in thefts may force the Co-op to reconsider installing TV surveillance. "About 90 to 95 per cent of the people who come in here are honest." Verrey said, but added the rate of shoplifting "seems to have accelerated in the last few weeks." "We got two today." he said."It's been averaging two a dav for some time." Verrey said the Co-op's present security measures consist of part-time security people hired from a detective agency, and the store's regular personnel.

MARTIN Larry Cafero has been smoking an extra half-pack of cigarettes since he's become chairman of the Inter-Area-Resident's Council (IARC). THIRTY-FIVE to forty hours of office work and 15 scheduled hours of classtime are enough to make most students resort to a lot more than a pack-and-a-half of cigarettes a day, however. But Cafero, who is one of the more-likeable student leaders, isn't looking for sympathy. He likes what he's doing. It would just help if he had more company.
