Columbia master keys
found In brown bag
Nearly 40 master keys to various
buildings at Columbia University
were found lying in a New York
City bar earlier this month. It was
announced at a Senate
subcommittee report on security at
Columbia that the keys were found
by an employee of the Third Phase,
a bar near the school, in a
brown paper bag. The keys were
reported lost in late February, and
Martin Thompson, a member of
the Committee on Student Affairs
Subcommittee on Security, says
no one even knows for sure who is
responsible for keeping up with
them.
Columbia is currently
attempting to reorganize their
security system, according to the
Columbia Spectator, and is
considering replacing all locks to
which the keys have been
misplaced or copied. Under a new
system, the responsibility for all
university master keys would be
placed in the hands of the Office of
Security. Additional provisions
extend to other aspects of campus
security: assigning guards to dorm
posts, formally outlining the
responsibilities of student guards,
and creating an Associate
Administrator for Dormitory
Security. The report did not,
however, cover any security
provisions for "in-house" thefts,
where forced entries were not
apparent.
Princeton gives automa-
tion a second chance
The Daily Princetonian reports
that Princeton's Firestone Library
is going to try again at using a
computerized circulation records
system. Several years ago, the
Princeton library utilized a system
THRESHING-IT-OUT
"You struck a low
blow," says Pitman
To the editor:
In my 24 years at Rice, student
and staff, this is mv first letter to
the Thresher, but I feel you struck
a low blow in your editorial on
March 27,1980. Mrs. Vest and I
have tried to accommodate the
Thresher in every reasonable
manner. I thought we had done so
through meetings and phone calls.
During our last conversation, you
suggested the construction of an
outside staircase to the second
floor of the RMC so the Thresher
staff would have access after
closing hours by going through the
windows to the roof. If you think
the construction of such a staircase
is a "minor building modification"
then you have a lot to learn. At the
time, I indicated to you that this
was not a viable suggestion. I
assumed you readily understood,
and that a detailed "explanation"
was not necessary.
While I appreciate your wishing
to print a timely Thresher, most of
Super Deal!
For something better,
maybe even a career,
this multi-national is
seeking your talents
for summer tryout.

Thinking of your future while going through college?
Well! How about thinking of your future Credit and
Savings?
Are you tired of not having enough money?
Are you tired of always having to limit your weekend
activities due to lack of funds?
Are you tired of being rejected by creditors because
you have no Credit?
Are you also tired of having no Savings?
Well! Have you ever thought about how nice it would
be to do the things in your life you have always
dreamed about, but because of no credit and no
savings were unable to complete your fantasies and
goals.

but had to abandon this method in
May 1978 due to persistent
problems which the company was
unable to correct. Library
employees are currently keeping a
computerized file of only the
books most frequently circulated
and are attaching coded labels to
these books.
Princeton librarian Donald W.
Koepp says that some sort of
computerized system is needed in
order to cut back on the rising
labor costs. Computer firms under
consideration for this second
attempt are GEAC Canada Ltd.,
and CLSI, one of the suppliers of
Rice's new library control system.
'Breaking Away' spin-
off renewed In PR effort
Last week, Texas Tech revived a
past tradition: the Raider Rounds
returned. This biking event is a
copy of the "Little 500," held at the
University of Indiana each year,
(and so crucial to the plot of the
recent movie, Breaking Away).
Teams are formed from any club,
organization, residence hall, or
independant group, and are
sponsored by local business.
Women's teams ride for 80 laps (20
miles), with trophies awarded the
winning team in each category.
The University Daily reports
that the Tech SA hopes to improve
relations between the student body
and the SA by bringing back the
races.
the news in the paper is not
something that happened today,
but instead properly covers events
of the entire week. I suggest you
push your story deadline back,
then you and your staff can finish
at a reasonable hour, rather than
leaving at 3:30 am either by
choice or request, and perhaps feel
more like pursuing your education
the next or same day, as the case
may be.
