On March 22, Erramouspe left his bookbag inside the entrance of University Bookstore so that he could look around inside. About 20 minutes later, he returned and found that the bookbag was missing.

It may be a way for those down-in-the-dumps, over-the-limit college students to get some relief from their credit cards. Citibank, in a daring move to drum up more business for its credit card operations, said Monday it is guaranteeing its customers the lowest price available for merchandise bought with Citibank cards.

Erramouspe believes that security needs to be improved at the bookstore. "There are guards there sometimes," he said, "but guards can't remember which faces go with which bag." Don Miles, director of the University Bookstore, said the only time the bookstore has guards is the first ten days of each semester. He said students can put their things in the lockers in front of the bookstore. "The lockers work on a coin return system.
