Thief Deflates Wallets While Students Frolic

While 275 undergraduates were playing basketball on the top floor of the Indoor Athletic Building last night, a thief, presumed to be an undergraduate, quietly emptied wallets in the locker room below.

Two students, Howard L. Kastel '54 and Robert Maier '54, members of the Massachusetts Hall basketball team, reported the theft of $19 at 10 p.m. last night, stating that they thought many other wallets had also been rified. Requirement of an athletic participation card for admission to the building led to the assumption that the culprit was a student.
