An item reported in a news release from the college stated that the bur glarized classroom was not included in the recent securit y measure which changed the locks of other BSC doors . Pennsylvania State Police,- Robbery was the topic early last Wednesday morning in Old Science Hall , as BSC custodi an Harrison Phillips discovere d a psychology classroom on the third floor of tha t building closed but unlocked , and nearly $17,000 worth of han d calculators missing. Police investigating the incident reported the theft to have occured between 5:48 a.m. when the security officers last checked the building, and 7:00 a.m., when the 18 Compucorp Statisti cian calculator s , used by psychology studen ts for comput ing statisti cs in Mm laboratory, were noted missing by Mr. Philli ps. Only two weeks old and valued at $930 each , the small computer s are irreplacable to the college due to the lact of theft insurance and sufficient funds by the state. (The total loss of the robbery was $16,740.) Other calculator s from different campus department s may be able to be used but scheduling difficulties may not be able to be overcome , thus endangering the prog ram which utilized the machine s. Authoritie s believe the theft along with the local enforcers , are continuing the investigation of last weeks theft.

The meeting will cover such topics as reduction of ener gy consumption , setting up bottle and can recycling pickups removal of non-biodegradable containers and packa ges , removal of phosphate detergents from laundry rooms , investigation of sulfur content of fuel oil used in heatin g the campus , studyin g the noise levels of stereos playing in dorms, restricting pesticide use on campus , establishing ca r pools f or st udents and faculty and setting up bicycle racks to promote bicycling on campus. P lans f or next spring include organizing field trip s to areas of concern wun regard to polluti on, engaging in stream clean-u p programs , conducting stream studies involv ing chemical testing and invertebrate samp ling and stream mapping. Before any of these projects can begin, however, students must be willing to participate. Dr. Joseph Vaughn and Mr. Robert Sagar have been the faculty advisors for the committee for the past two years . They have had the full supp ort of the administration and the CGA. Without student interest , however, little can be done towards bettering he cam pus environment. The rewa rds from conserving electricity can . be quite substantial. Cutting fuel expenditures could bring about relief for the hard-pressed BSC budget. This in turn , may keep tuitio n fro m goin g upF drastic ally.
