Scholarship reception ’95

Aug. 20 at the Dishman Art Gallery. The event offered new students and transfers who have
received scholarships a chance to meet the dean of their respective college,-
‘Book ’em, Dan-0’
Package takes aim at textbook theft
Hector Contreras
UP staff writer
“A lot more books are stolen than
reported.”
—Dale Fontenot
LU-B interim police chief
As if tuition and textbook
prices aren’t enough, college stu-
dents are finding themselves vic-
tims of a rapidly growing crime
on our campus: textbook theft.
“A lot more books are stolen
than reported,” says Dale
Fontenot, interim chief of the
Lamar Police Department.
A new product called
Book’em may help solve the
costly campus textbook prob-
lem. The system is based on ben-
efit denial, a proven concept in
theft protection, says Locke
'White, president of Book’em
Inc.
Use of an owner’s ID renders
textbooks unsaleable if it is
removed, therefore eliminating
the incentive to steal it.
Market research studies indi-
cate that at one rural land-grant
university with 25,000-students,
14 percent of its seniors had
been victims of at least one text-
book theft, White said.
The textbook kit includes
detailed instructions, one back-
pack warning sticker, 10 text-
book warning stickers, one pre-
inked ID stamp and 10 security
stickers retailing for about $7.95.
Students apply bright
Book’em stickers on the front
cover of each textbook to ward
off thieves. Then, the student
imprints lines for his or her ID
with the supplied ink stamp. Any
attempts to remove the ID will
destroy a portion of the text-
book, making it unsaleable.
“We believe the Book’em
textbook protection system can
help college administrators and
students control this serious
crime problem on campuses
across the country,” White said.
Although the Kampus Korner
Bookstore, the Cardinal
University Bookstore, and tjie
Lamar University Bookstore are
not carrying the kits now, those
interested can contact Book’em
Inc. at 1-800-441-5638 to order.

introducing four common-
sense combos of useful
phone services to help you
survive off-campus life in
the Nineties. Read the stuff
in the little boxes. Weigh
the possibilities. Then make
an informed decision. You
can do it. Years of schooling
should have prepared you
for this sort of thing. Let’s
try practicing out loud. “I’d
like combo number one.”
Nicely done. “Combo
number two, please.”
Perfect. Now for the final
test. Dial 1-800-464-7928
and go for it — even if you
already have basic service.
See, isn’t college easy?
