Pi Phi,Kappa,ChiOKitchens Victims of Burglaries Three sorority houses were victims of burglars early Friday morn ing, according to reports received by Eugene police Friday afternoon. Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi reported loss of foodstuffs while Chi Omega was also missing an inexpensive electric toaster. The houses were entered through unlocked porch doors. Police officers investigating the theft found that approximately $2 worth of potatoes were removed from Kappa Kappa Gamma stor ge space and between §30 to §45 worth of canned goods from the Pi Beta Phi food supply. Burglars completely rifled the Chi Omega kitchen after gaining admittance by forcing open a win dow. Ray Hawk, director of men’s affairs, said Sunday that the burglaries did not appear to be along the normal line of student ■pranks. “A sack of potatoes is hardly the thing which a student engaged in a prank would take,” Hawk said, “unless he were des perately hungry.” Hawk indicated, hov/ever, that ii was anyone's guess as to who had committed the crime. Eugene police are working on the cases, he reported. The Eugene Police Department said investigation was proceeding, but had no further reports on the thefts.

Lawrence F. Arnold, 35, re leased eight days ago from Maryland State Prison after serving two years for forgery, was held in $5,000 bail for the grand jury. Arnold, by his own testimony, worked pretty fast, too. He told police yesterday he arrived Mon day, registered at a hotel and immediately tried to cash a $5,000 check drawn on a Balti more bank under a false name. After the hotel refused him he presented the check at three banks. Two turned him down. The third called the police. Arnold told police he was measured for three suits, and ordered two automobiles, leav ing bogus cheeks as advance payments for all. Then he lowered his sights and tried to cash a $25 check, with no luck. _ Police found him at an auto mobile agency—offering a clerk a check for $100.

TRefioxtei Opinions Split On Pre-Dance Dinners in SU By Helen Jackson It was just about a divided answer today. Some approved, some didn’t. But anyway the SU, in order to allow students to reap the most benefits from the build ing is thinking of providing din ner reservation service before campus dances. The service would be in the ban t uet rooms, but on with the ques tion: “Would you approve of din ner reservation service at the SU before campus dances?” Janet Corbit—freshman in lib eral arts—“Yes, I do. The SU was made for our convenience so why not?” Don Hagedorn—senior in busi ness—“If they had a place for individual tables but not banquet rooms. There wouldn’t be enough kids who would want to sit around a banquet table. If you take out a date you want something a little cozier.” Bob Altman—freshman in busi ness—“Why not? If such arrange ments were left to the individual to decide upon then I can see no harm in such a sanction.” Byron Tarr—freshman in busi ness'—“i don’t think the kids would like it. They would rather go off campus.” Bill Lees—junior in pre-law— “Definitely! I think it would be a wonderful idea.” Jean Henderson—freshman in liberal arts—“It’s too much like school at the SU. I think it would be more informal down town than at the SU.” Jackie Pritzen—junior in Eng lish—“I guess it’s all right if the students want it.” Sunny Allen—freshman in liberal arts—“All students wouldn’t be able to participate and I feel it would put too much emphasis on before-dance activities.” No politician is ever as bad as he is painted by his enemies or as good as he is whitewashed ay his friends. Even in hot weather you can’t make friends by giving them the cold shoulder. Tl WRITE TO DAD A sweet and lovely Valentine you will be in a brand new cotton blouse from our Sport Department.
