Cops . . . . . . and Robbers

The recent crime wave has troubled students at the College as well as at Radcliffe. Upon numerous occasions, the red warning light in the Yard has beamed benevolently down upon overanxious Christmas card salesmen, bicycle thieves, and confidence men.

But the red warning lights, apparently, fail to attract University Police. Discriminating in their choice of colors, these gentlemen are fascinated by another shade: orange. In fact, they seem so enamored by this duller hue that they amuse themselves during the dark of night and early morn distributing samples to cars parked on local streets. Never before have the streets of Cambridge been so enthusiastically decorated.

Although it might disturb the aesthetic sensitivities of these officers, they could watch the flashing red lights with the thoroughness characteristic of their work with little orange tickets outside.
