Campus radio station WVUM-90.5 FM is having its door locks re-keyed after a $3,000 Eventide H3000 D/SE harmonizer was stolen from its studio last weekend.
Between 11 p.m. on Saturday and 10 p.m. on Sunday, the harmonizer was unscrewed and wires were cut to free the audio equipment from its case.
Glenn Richards, a senior and WVUM general manager, said only four other student employees posses keys to the interior locked room where the harmonizer was kept. Only the station’s program director, music director, production director and the station’s engineer own keys, Richards said.
“There was a DJ on duty the time of the theft," Richards said. “So, somebody had to see or hear the robbery.”
Richards said that he thinks that he knows who may have taken the audio equipment, but he said he wants to wait before he approaches the suspect.
“We’ve got some idea,’ Richards said,
referring to the thief. “I’m waiting for the detective from Public Safety to handle that."
The harmonizer, used by disc jockeys, added reverberations, echoes and other sound effects to pro-gramming, Richards said.
Riza Angull, a junior and a WVUM disc jockey, broadcast her World Music Show Sunday between 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

"I know nobody did this during my show,” Angull said. “It either happened before or after my show.”
One disc jockey, sophomore Pete Bielagus, said he used the sound effects equipment, and he will miss it.
“It added another dimension to the station,” Bielagus said. “We finally had a machine that made us sound better. It made us sound professional.”
Jason Hoffman, a junior and Richards' predecessor as general manager, said he thinks the station will suffer as a result of the property loss.
“It’s not to their benefit that they are without the harmonizer," Hoffman said.

NEW QUICK SERVICE GIVES GRE TEST RESULTS
Students who took the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General Tests will be able to find out their scores a week or more earlier using a new service offered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS).
People who took the GRE on October 14 may call 1-800-GRE-5056. Test takers were given flyers at the time of the test that gave the date they should call. The fee is $10, and it can be charged on major credit cards. Callers must use a touch-tone phone. For security reasons, students may be asked for some of the information on their GRE admission ticket.
Callers who use the service will still receive a score report by mail.

Lambda Chi Alpha was recently placed on probation by the Interfratemity Council, but the UM fraternity is appealing that decision to Dean of Students William Sandler.
“The appeal has been given to me," Sandler said. “And I will give them the answer to their appeal.”
Sandler said he has answered Lambda Chi’s appeal. However, Sandler said he has not yet informed Lambda Chi of his decision, so he could not discuss the matter until it was notified.
Joshua Cohen, president of IFC said he would not discuss the matter with The Hurricane.

What force could possibly draw hundreds of UM students to gather at the UC patio at 8 p.m. on a Wednesday? Ben, Jerry, and lots of ice cream.
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, more commonly known as Ben and Jerry, are on their nationwide college tour. They were at UM to talk about their history, their success, and their love of ice cream. According to Greenfield, they had been receiving calls from colleges in a helter-skelter way for a long while. So, they decided to take the bull by the horns.
"It is important to keep in touch with our customers, to let them know there is an alternative to how businesses can be run,” said Cohen.
Ben and Jerry are modern-day examples of every businessman's dream. They have been friends
“No, I’m not going to. This was handled internally, and it is not something we feel is newsworthy and I'm not going to tell you. I'm not going to give you any information,”
Cohen said.
Cohen described IFC’s action against Lambda Chi as minimal.
“We don’t want this to be more of an issue than it is. Our fraternities come under a self-governing body,” Cohen said. “The issue is that is was dealt with inter-
since junior high. After several tries at college and several more in the work force, both men realized their desire to be their own bosses and their interest in business. Ice cream became the product, Ben and Jerry's became the name, and the rest was history.
One of the reasons for their college tour is to let students know that businesses can be caring and profitable as well. They have developed ways for businesses to help improve the quality of life in the community because, as Cohen believes, business is the most powerful force in the world today.
"Ben and Jerry’s is the ideal way of doing business. As a business student, I feel, like Ben and Jerry, that I have a responsibility towards my community and the world," said Elizabeth Bazzi, a junior in the School of Business.
In defining business, Cohen said
nally, and the issue is over.”
“The school does not need to know. There is no need for you to print this,” Cohen added.
Some UM students said they have mixed feelings about'the probation.
Meridith Hill, a senior and a Gamma Phi Beta member, said she agrees with IFC’s decision to handle the matter internally.
“At the stage we are in I don’t think we need to know,” Hill said. "There is so much criticism of the greek system to begin with, that l would hate to see Lambda Chi prejudged. Any pre-judging of Lambda ("hi is pre-judging the entire greek rystem."
that at Ben and Jerry’s, business is the combination of the organization of human energy plus money which equals power. On the other hand, it's not all about dollars.
"There’s a spiritual aspect to business as there is in people, and that shouldn’t be forgotten, “ Cohen said.
Ben and Jerry’s has opened stores in England, Israel, the former Soviet Union, and is now heading for France. Greenfield explained the reasons for the duo's success.
“It’s the combination of a wonderful product and the intimate relationship people have with it,” Greenfield said. "We have a business that tries to support the communities we operate in."
When all was said and done, it was finally time to get down to business. After the speech, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream was served to everyone.

It’s almost that time of the semester again when students sell back their books to campus bookstores in hopes of getting what they originally paid. The reality is that most leave with only “loose change."
Student Government is offering their solution to this "book selling nightmare" with their revamped book exchange program. This program will help students sell or trade viable textbooks.
"We tried this program several years ago, but it somehow fell through,” said senior Adam Altman, co-chairman of Student Government Cabinet Academic Affairs Committee.
“Now we are trying to work out the logistics to make the program work.”
According to Altman, the average student spends $500-600 a semester on books.
"This program will help solve this program," Altman said.
The book exchange would provide lists of registered books in order from highest to lowest asking price for each book along with the students’ names and phone numbers.
"In the book exchange, you can get books for less and at the same time, you’re going to make some money when you sell your own,” Altman said.
According to Altman, lists will be coordinated for each residential college, residential area, and for commuter students. However,
Student Government will have master lists of all student listings available in UC 240.
"Commuter students, as well as others, can obtain book registration forms in the Student Government offices and in the STIC (UC 209),” Altman said.
Some students think the book exchange is a good idea and will participate in the program for next semester’s books.
“I think this program is a great
"If enough students sign up with enough books, this program has to work. I would love to see every student involved.

solution," junior Rebecca Santana said. “I'm sick of paying so much money each semester (or books.”
Altman believes this program will work this time around. All forms should be turned into residential college desks, the STIC or the Student Government offices by Nov. 17.
“If enough students sign up with enough books, this program almost has to work," Altman said. “I would love to see every student involved."
