Bikes top campus theft list
By David Forster
. Staff Writer
Nineteen bicycles, a car, a motorcycle,
two wallets,-a pair of shoes, a television
set, a VCR. a calculator, a skateboard, a
briefcase, a snare drum, an, answering
machine, and a lunchpail. Although this
may look like a classified ad for a garage
sale, it is a partial list of the items reported
stolen to the CSUF Police Department
during the first month of this semester.
In thc 31 d|ys from Sept. I to Oct. I, the
police department had over SO reports of
stolen items, making theft the number one
crime on campus in terms of sheer numbers.
The seriousness of these thefts ranged
from a $6 bag of candy in one report to a
pickup truck in another. Bicycles topped
the Iistas the most commdjtly stolen item.
Each week, the police department compiles
a crime analysis report which divides the
campus up into seven zones and indicates
which crimes happened where and at what.
time of day. This report is used by the
department to identify the high-crime
areas and time periods, and any crime
patterns that may be developing, and
determine where to focus its resources,
said Police Lieutenant Steven King.
Several variables affect the chances that
the department will be able to track down
a thief or recover a stolen item. King said,
the most important of which is uow many
leads — witnesses, fingerprints, and other
pieces of evidence - the department has
to work with.
For example, if a fingerprint is lifted
from the scene of the crime, it is entered
into the police department's computer
and compared with thc thousands of
fingerprints the state Department of Justice
has on file. If a match is made. King said,
this is enough evidence to krrest the
person as a suspect.
Last spring, a. series of thefts were
finally solved when a suspect's fingerprints
were matched through a computer search
with the fingerprint taken from a coffee
mug used to breaks window at the scene
of the lasfecrime. King said.
Although most stolen items are not
recovered. King advised that students
with bicycles at least take the precaution
of registering them withthe police department:
When the bike is registered, he said, the
serial number is entered into the department's
computer and the bike owner is issued an
adhesive tag to put on the bike frama.
The benefits of registering a bicycle.
King said, are two-fold. First, it discourages
theft because the tag indicates the bike is
registered with the police department.
Few registered bicycles are among those
stolen each year, he said. Second, it gives
the department a means of matching a
bicycle with the owner.
"Thc chances are you won't get it back
anyway," he said. "But your chances are

Through dance, dramatization and ,
music, members of CSUF's Chinese Over¬
seas Students Association celebrated
Taiwan's 75thanniversary Thursday night
at the Satellite College Union.
October 10th or "Double-Tenth Night"
is Taiwan's equivalent of the United States'
Fourth of July. It marks the day in 1911
that the Ching Dynasty fell, according to
Joyce Hsieh. COSA president.
Hsieh said Double-Tenth Night is the
most important occasion in Taiwan.
"Double-Tenth Night is the day our people
declared freedom." Hsieh said.
A traditional Chinese costume demon- *
stration traced the styles of dress from the
Han Dynasty of 206 B.C. to the early
republic era of 1915.
Numerous gowns were shown to "the
crowd. Most consisted of intricate silk
patterns with colorful sequins, and ornate
headdresses were worn by the males while
the females wore veiled garments.
Part of the show featured several stu¬
dents with candles. The students made
different configurations such as the sign of
Double-Tenth Night.
Two area high school students also
performed at the celebration — as one
played a classical violin piece and the
other a Scottish sword dance.»
Several performers were involved Tn^
two different wedding dramatizations. The
first was a traditional courting process. It
was performed in Chinese, but the humor
was universal. The second featured a
modern wedding ceremony.
Also performing were ballet dancers,
guitarists and singers. Qne of the highlights
of the evening was a Ian dance that
simulated flowers and a running river.
The presentation was part of Chinese
Culture Week at CSUF.
Counselors
help orient
refugees
By Paul Worthington
Staff Writer
For many Southeastern Asian refugee
students at CSU F, the problems of college
are compounded by culture shock as they
face many concepts—including the idea of
school itself, according to officials in the
International Student Services Office.
To aid these students, specialized
services are provided through the ISS
office. Mee Her, a peer adviser for refugee
students, said the small obstacles can
prevent these students from achieving
their education.
"I've helped them with the little things
that give them trouble." she said. "When
they come here, it is a total shock. Going
from office to office .is confusing."
Many basic policies have to be explained
to the students, said Katsuyo Howard,
coodinator of the special services program.
She compared the refugee students to the
foreign students she usually counsels. The
transter students are "from a culture not
so distant from ours." she said, while for
the refugee students, "schooling is a new
concept They're new to the concept of
pursuing an education."
When these students registered, it was
not realized how different the college
