'Amateurs are

'The pros aren't costing us money,
and even if they were, we couldn't catch
them," Tom Shetley, general manager of
the Student Stores, says of his shoplifting
problem. "The amateurs are burning us,
and they're impossible to 'type'."
The "amateurs" shoplifted $12,000
worth of merchandise from the Student
Stores in 1971 , and Shetley estimates the
figure could go as high as SI 5,000 this
year.
Although Shetley blames "every
reason under the sun". for the rise, he
reserves most of his criticism for the
Honor Court's "lenient" policy toward
student shoplifting cases, which average
about "three or four a month," although
at least 10 are now pending.
"In the last five years I don't know of
one student who's been suspended for
shoplifting," says assistant manager Lloyd
Myers, whose first-floor office houses the
eight closed-circuit television sets hooked
into the cameras covering the store floor.

Epps also urged students to participate
in the Washington Witness lobby on
Thursday.
Buses will leave Chapel Hill for
Washington. D.C., at 4:30 a.m. and return
about 9 p.m. People who are interested in
the trip mav sisn up in room 102 of the
YMCA.
Participants will lobby for the
Mansfield Amendment, which calls for a
complete cut-off in war expenditures
within 30 days, on the condition tliat
prisoners of war be released.
Lobbyists will talk to congressmen
from their states and express support of a
bill to halt ground and air action in
Southeast Asia which is scheduled to be
introduced in the House by Father
Robert Drinan (D-Mass.) today.
Appointments with the senators from
North Carolina or with their
representatives may also be arranged.
Cost of the trip is about S 1 2.
The UN'C moratorium comes in the
wake- of a series of nationwide protests
precipitated by the bombing of Hanoi
and Haiphong last week.
The protests have been peaceful for
the most part, but a rally at the
University of Maryland in College Park
Tuesday morning sparked a
rock-throwing incident that led to the
arrest of two demonstrators.
Some 200 students had marched on
the Chancellor's residence shortly after an
appearance by the Chinese table tennis
team. No injuries were reported in the
brief melee which was put down by riot
equipped state troopers.
According to UPI, more than 170
persons across the country have been
arrested in the latest antiwar activities,
which began Monday. A sit-down by 200
demonstrators at the Alameda Naval Air
Station in California Monday resulted in
41 arrests. Other demonstrations Monday
took place in New York City, Stratford,
Connecticut, Philadelphia and Detroit.
In Boston, the People's Coalition
sponsored a rally and a march on an Air
Force recruiting station in protest.
The latest activities are slated to
conclude Saturday with major antiwar
marches in New York and Los Angeles
called by the National Peace Action
Coalition and the Student Mobilization
Committee.

"The most severe penalty is probation,
and if the student has a good enough
story, hell get off with a reprimand."
(Of the three shoplifters to come
before the Honor Court most recently,
two have received "indefinite probation."
while the third received "definite
probation" ending May 10.)
"Other schools don't have that much
of a problem because of the way they
deal with shoplifters," Myers says. "If
you're caught at East Carolina, for
example, it's an automatic one-semester
suspension, and at the University of
Tennessee, they cdl the Knoxville city
police."
"I wish we could bring them before a
criminal court," Shetley says. "If we
caught an employe stealing, that's what
would happen to hiim. If students clamor
for equal rights, they should have equal
responsibilities."
Attorney general Reid James, who is
responsible for prosecuting student
shoplifters, says the Honor Court usually
judges cases "more on the value of the
item than the principle of the thing."

IFC to consider
defe
rus
The Interfraternity Coun;il (IFC) is
scheduled to decide at its meeting tonight
whether deferred freshman rush should
be abolished.
The IFC will meet at 7 p.m.
217 of the Student Union.
m room
The rush deferral question will be
presented to the group in the form of an
amendment to the council's bylaws. The
amendment states that freshmen will be
allowed to enter fraternities on a date to
be set by the IFC.
The amendment was proposed at the
IFC meeting April 10. The council h3S
been searching for ways to expand
membership in fraternities.

"Most of the students are turned in for
stealing less than S2 worth of
merchandise," James says. "I mean, if a
student stole a typewriter I'm sure he'd
be suspended. But I've had people tell me
that if all these students who stole a
package of Turns were brought up before
a criminal court like the Student Stores
want to do the prosecutor would be
laughed out of court."
In the absence of any real legal
deterrents, the Student Stores have
stepped up their own surveillance of
customers on the floor.
"The cameras aren't worth a tinker's
dam," Shetley says. 'They're nothing but
a challenge. And we don't have any
people specifically assigned to 'security'
either because every employe should be
alert enough to prevent shoplifting."
Shetley has attempted to make his
sales force more "alert" by offering
bonuses for any shoplifter "fingered."
"I'm a great believer in material
motivation," he says.
Shetley also contracted Vanguard
Security Agency earlier this year to
"make a survey of our weak spots, so that

IFC President Reid Phillips said he was
"very much in favor" of the proposal.
"Now, freshmen cannot go through rush
until after the first semester," Phillips
explained. The rule had been made to
give incoming freshmen time to adjust to
UNC before going into a fraternity, he
said.
"We feel the majority of students are
ready to make these decisions earlier.
There is no reason to hold back those
students who are ready," he added.
The Faculty-Student Committee on
Fraternities recommended the change
about a month ago.
Other ways of increasing the
membership of fraternities were discussed
at the April 10 meeting. Among those
mentioned were an increase in public
relations materials, more IFC activities
and greater motivation for brothers to be
involved.
All IFC representatives and ru.sh
chairmen are urged to attend, since the
decision will affect the entire fraternity
system, Phillips said.
Each house will have one vote at the
meeting. The amendment will require a
two-thirds majority passage. A tv-o-thirds
majority is required to pass any
amendment to the bylaws.

we can shore them up."
Although every shoplifter caught this
semester has been a man, Shetley believes
"maybe nine-tenths of our inventory
shrinkage is attributable to women.
'There's still too much archaic
chivalry," he says. "We make men check
their books before they come in, but the
girls come in with these shoulder bags and
we don't say anything.
"And we let out a lot of women that
we strongly suspect. Sooner or later we're
going to have to stop letting people with
bags in.
"You know, these people aren't
hurting me or the Student Stores by
shoplifting," Shetley says. "They're
hurting poor students who get
scholarships from our profits-we gave
$165,000 last year for undergraduate
scholarships; S45,000 for athletic
scholarships; and S30,000 for graduate
fellowships."
But meanwhile the stealing goes on at
the rate of about S40 a day, as the '"peak
season" for shoplifting continues.
'The peak season," Shetley explains,
"s whenever the store is open."
