The owners of the cars believe the damages occurred dur ing daytime. Mrs. Rounette Kuykendall, a cafeteria employee, found $75 damage done to her '54 Buick Special. She said, "The chrome was torn from the front door to the bumper and the left fender was bent in. I couldn't say who did it." She suggested that the damage was accidental. "Since the students do have an honor system, it would have been so simple to have reported it," she said. "There's nothing I could do about it. It seems to me that anybody who has a car would have insurance." Joe Lawrence, University post master, said concerning the dam age done to the rear bumper of his '65 Chevrolet, "It's the second time it's happened to mine. I don't know who it is." Although the damage was minor, Lawrence felt wvhoever had done the damage should have reported it. "I don't think that it was a student because a majority of them would have reported it.
