The security experts warne' that new methods or new twist. on existing methods are being dis covered almost every day. "Business thieves," they said "as with most thieves everywhere are smart and imaginative ant extremely resourceful. If allowed they will take advantage of un policed rubbish barrels, employs parking areas too close to re ceiving lots, factory exits that aren't supervised. All they need ih management to turn its back." "Employe theft exists solely be cause management does not make the effort to stop it," Leonard S. Lowell, chairman of Dale System, reports. "There is no question that business could do plenty about employe theft if it only bothered The carelessness is incredible Most businessmen don't use plait. common sense. They seem to g, out of their way to invite crime. This indifference is peculiar. Management of a New Jersey auto assembly plant was aston ished to learn how $100,000 worth of small parts had been smuggled past their guards by thieving em ployes. Seven men, who had jobs as material handlers, would wrap the loot in cloth bags at the end of the day, bind the bags with black tape so the contents wouldn't jingle, strap the bags to their bodies and walk unchal lenged out of the plant.

The manager of the men's de partment of a California depart ment store stole $2,800 in mer chandise in 15 months with the aid of several relatives who would "purchase" clothing at exactly one-half the correct price and then take the items to the manager's home to await resale. Owners of an upper New York State foundry learned that em ployes had taken 129,000 pounds of scrap lead out of their plant by making lead molds to fit around their bodies. "The people who are doing this fantastic damage to American businessmen are not faceless masses," the Dale report empha sizes. "They are the common, :very-day persons we all know and hire to work for us." "In a time of shrinking profit margins everywhere," he says, 'management is looking for ways to increase sales, hence increase )rofits. Yet increasing sales voi ume isn't the only way to increase irofits. Reduction of inventory loss would allow retention of a .;reater share of money already ."arned." The Dale survey offered several pinpointed recommendations to mianagement: "Make up your mind that tht question of employe thievery in any business depends on only ont person - the manager. Crack lown. Get tough and stay tough on the question of dishonesty. [heft is caused by two major fac tors - need and opportunity. Un fortunately, the need is always 5 there for some people. It comes . down then to opportunity. Provide 'l the opportunity and some em- r ployes will steal from you. , "There are tested ways in which employers can curb or control theft by dishonest workers. Cir cumstances will dictate whether you use an undercover agent pos ing as an employe, a shopper trained to follow the path of money in a sale (if you have a retail business), or a polygraph, the newest tool industry has adopted in recent years with out standing success. t t ts Offer ip Grant The successful candidates only will be notified.

A good shetland or tweed n a moderate plaid or the new amel hair variety make excellent hoices.

What's most important of all, these shirts have a really lean taperedl or "V-Taper" cut to clean up a bunchy, baggy waistline that has been a bane to anyone with dlelusions of a trim figure. For casual daytime activities, take along a sweater or two or three - depending on their popu larity ra t in g in your area. A lamb's wool V-neck pullover is a good selection.

And Away you did during dinner. Be sure to bring along a couplc of the best looking ties that you own. This is a sure way of making points with a co-ed.

If you have a ruddy complexion, avoid red and burgundy tones and instead chost cool blues, greens or brown shades The only sad thing about a col lege weekend is that sooner of later you have to pack that dufflL bag and go back to the books and grind.

From among the man: outstanding young men who wall. the halls of fraternity row. Keitl Elliot has been chosen as the in itial luminary to grace this sec tion. Keith is a member of Pi Kappe Alpha, the largest fraternity on campus. le has served his fra ternity as corresponding secre tary, rush chairman, IFC repre sentative, and is now president le heads the Blue Key honorary fraternity, is a judge on the IF( Tribunal, a member of the Student Senate and was recently elected to Who's Who in American Col leges. He also found time to make the Dean's List last semester a. a senior B.A. major and has main tained a consistently high grade point ratio. For three years, he was a member of the varsity swimming team. To those who know him, Keith is a jovial, intelligent, well rounded individual. lie has strong convictions and is not averse t( expressing them. lie is amenable to suggestion but is steady when his course is set. le puts his studies first and his fraternity second. Neither are, by any means, neglected. This formidable list of offices, honors and duties has not kept Keith f r o m experiencing the sweeter side of life.

During the various intramural ;easons he can be found in a red md white jersey or on the side ines encouraging those who are n uniform. As a matter of fact, ie was a member of the all-cam ius complainers in football. An >ther interesting sidelight is that Keith has left his home in Green wood, S. C., to serve as head bar ender at a summer resort in New York 'for the last two years. As Keith said, "Social activities are -)art of everyone's life and a big )art of mine, too." The fraternity ranks second mly to his education. A point that was brought out by Keith and is )ften forgotten with respect to raternities, especially during the gala rush period, is that they can be a definite hell) to a boy's aca ,lemic life. They offer competition nd incentive. PiKA has done this for him. It has also helped him to overcome a dissatisfaction with school that threatened his career when he was a freshman. The fra ternity helped him to meet people and develop lasting friendships. It gave him a focal point on the cam pus and helped to foster his de velopment into one of the out standing leaders on campus. The PiKA's are fortunate to have a young man of Keith's cali bre to lead them. le is fortunate also to have such a sparkling rec ord to carry with him to graduate school at the University of Florida I l and into the business world for Iwhich he is preparing himself. )ENT TRIP STERN EUROPE KLM nark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, ary, Austria, Yugoslavia, Italy, Switzerland, England. students.
