APTED BLAMES ROBBERY TO CARELESSNESS OF STUDENTS

Asked to comment on the Claverly robbery, Mr. Apted, Superintendent of Caretakers, issued the following statement: "During the morning of March 14, an unauthorized visitor entered various rooms in Claverly Hall without invitation. This being possible only through the negligence of the tenants, who left their doors unlocked. In consequence of the visit, numerous occupants of the building are now minus sums of money from 30 cents upwards." He laid especial emphasis on the fact that the robbery could never have taken place if the doors had been locked. He also pointed out that the only way to prevent a recurrence of yesterday morning's incident was for the students to keep their doors locked.
