THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Friday, December 5, I960 THE DAILY COLLEGIAN No leads gained in Hambrock murder By Joann Woodworth back to students who might have but that tall attempts to find any number of full-time students enrolled Fresno police still have no solid leads into the death of CSUF student KrisU Hambrock. Hambrock, 20, who lived in the CSUF dorms, was found unconscious and dying at an entrance to Shakey's Pizza Parlor at Shaw and Chesnut avenues Tuesday night. She had been stabbed once and died from massive internal hemor¬ rhaging and severe damage of In¬ ternal organs. Fresno police, a* well as CSUF's campus police, have been working together on the case for the past three days. "We're going through a weeding- out process right now," said Oanny Martin, Fresno police detective. "We have to follow up every phone call we receive, whether it's a legitimate piece of Information, a tip, a rumor — anything. That is because we don't know if something is valid unless we take the time to check it out. Unfortunately, It takes up much of our time." Martin said that Fresno police detectives spent a good part of the day yesterday conducting on-campus interviews with students and other campus personnel. "The Investigators have to get back to students who might have seen or heard anything that would help In the investigation," Martin said. "We've also gotten calls from — how should I put it — from some real 'squirrels.' The obvious crank calls Just have to be taken with a grain of salt." There are, however, two serious pieces of Information that the police are trying to follow up. There are two separate reports, one from CSUF students, who may have heard or seen Hambrock only minutes before her body was found. A witness- reportedly saw a girl walking near the intersection of Shaw and Maple avenues at approxi¬ mately 10:40 Tuesday night. She was reported to have been walking east on Shaw Avenue on the campus side. In a separate report, Oenna Zahos and Terri Phillips, both CSUF stu¬ dents reported hearing loud screams from behind the Joyal Administration Building about five minutes before 11 that same evening. Martin said these two reports, plus additional leads, constitute the bulk of information that the police have to work with at this time. He also said that the police will continue to follow any and all leads. but that tall attempts to find any ' physical evidence has been ex¬ hausted. "The physical searching phase of the investigation Is pretty much complete," Martin said. "The rain hampered us a bit, because it may have eradicated any footprints or bloodstains that might have In¬ dicated the exact location of the murder," Martin said. Martin has made an appeal to any students on campus to contact the Fresno police if they think they may have any information, no matter how small or insignificant, that may help the investigation. The murder and subsequent investigation has brought added attention to the activities of the campus police force. While the murder may have triggered a sudden wave of interest in the quality of campus security, campus police Chief William Ander¬ son believes it would be unfair to put any blame on the campus police for not doing their Job. "The number of police officers we are allowed to hire is determined by the California State University and Colleges system," Anderson said. "That system fixes the number of campus police, as well as other classified workers, according to the number of full-time students enrolled at each of the campus," Anderson said. <v "The number of full-time students determines the budget, which deter¬ mines how many officers we can hire. As it is, we could use ten times more men and more money for equipment, but we're locked into that manpower formula." Anderson said that he knows of only one exception to the hiring rule. That Is at San Jose State Uni¬ versity, which requires additional officers because of an increased and continuous series of rapes and assaults on the campus during the past few years. According to Anderson, in the three years he has worked at CSUF, there has been one reported rape. He also added that it was the first time he could recall that a murder of a CSUF student had occurred, "and so close to campus." "There is no way the campus police, or anyone for that matter, could assume or predict something like this would happen," Anderson said. "As it is, we already have two more officers on campus than the quota allows. The campus housing See Murder page 12 Housing director urges precaution By Karen Kreiger CSUF Housing Director John Wetzel said that there's no way the residence hall staff can prevent people coming on campus who should not be here. 'I'm comfortable with the kind of security provided to students, but it cannot be effective without the cooperation of the students,' Wetzel emphasized. KrisU Hambrock, a resident of Baker Hall was murdered after she left her campus dorm room late Tuesday night to go for a walk. Although it has not been determined that Hambrock was killed on campus, officials have warned students not to go out alone at night. The housing office does not plan to reinforce security measures in the dormitory complex, but' Is telling dorm students to take pre¬ cautions against attacks by non- students. 'The problem is student schedules are Irregular,' Wetzel said. 'Some¬ times the only time you can go jogging is at 10:30 at night. All we can say is find someone to go jogging with. When moving across campus we encourage students to travel in groups of twos or threes. They just can't do that (be out alone at night) exposing themselves to a tremendous risk.* Wetzel said that CSUF is one of the few campuses he knew of that provided police officers specifically for the dormitories. Two officers. Rick Snow and Jess Herring, provide seven-day-a-week protection to dorm residents. On weekends both officers are on duty. 'They have no responsibility to enforce hall policy,* Wetzel pointed out. 'They deal strictly Murder-related rally today; petitions are circulating Students concerned over the death of KrisU Hambrock are holding a rally at 12 noon today in the Free Speech Area, to determine if students feel they are adequately protected on campus. A petition is also in circulation at CSUF, asking the university to consider recommendations listed on the peititon for strengthening safety precautions. The petition is concerned with im¬ plementing campus police foot patrols • as wall, a* additional para-police patrol, providing adequate fighting for all parking areas and lighting those areas around campus which are now dark along the perimeter of the campus. One of the organizers of the rally and petition, Scott Tait, Is an officer in Lambda Alpha Epsilon, the crim¬ inology fraternity. * Tait said that there are three sheets posted in the criminology department and other sheets will be distributed by persons on campus. 'We plan to send 25 sheets and we hope to have them all filled.' with police matters. I carefully selected the officers in the program for their ability to relate to students and reflect involvement.* The residence hall escort service, which has had its high and low points, was revamped yesterday. The service is now in effect in all buildings. Male students have been identified by the resident hall sUff to provide potection to female stu¬ dents traveling within campus boundries and also off campus. 'Female students can call the service to take them someplace and bring them back, or they can 'call from their location and we can make arrangements to go and get them,* Wetzel said. Wetzel said the service has flour- sihed during periods of activity (attacks on female students near campus) but also said that students informed him last night that the service was used frequently. The campus will eventually have to deal with a non-student policy,* Wetzel said, referring to the fact that many university activities are open to the public. 'We have to come to grips with that. We have to recognize the need for greater control over that type of participation.* Wetzel added that the campus dorm area is not public property and persons can be arrested for trespassing. 'If need be we contact the police and have them removed from campus * he said. Wetzel also pointed out that students prop doors open with trash cans and remove bolts from windows to allow their friends access to the dorm buildings. The staff tries to discourage the students from doing this, but many ignore the warnings. <c 'Anyone has easy access to almost all of the buildings,'Wetzel said. 'Someone can enter through one of the open doors or follow a student in when he unlocks a door. * An advantage the students have is that an 'off the wall' character coming on campus 'stands out like a sore thumb,' Wetzel added. 'Students are usually familiar with the others in the dorms.* One improvement that Wetzel hopes will be made over the Christ- See Wetzel page I Services for Hambrock Public funeral services for KrisU A.

It seems he was a computer scientist who had spent years collecting Jokes from all over the world and feeding them Into a computer. After they had all been broken down Into their1 various components and thoroughly analysed, the comput¬ er came up with the funniest possible Joke in the English language. The computer scientist read the Joke and Immediately started laugh¬ ing so hard that his appendix ruptur¬ ed, and he died on the spot. The computer print-out containing the Joke was picked up by one of the janitors who discovered the body of the scientist. Luckily, the Janitor was poorly educated and could only under¬ stand part of the words of the Joke. This probably saved his life. Instead of blowing an organ, the janitor escaped with a twelve-hour laughter spasm. The Janitor was smart enough to realize that he had something good on his hands, and he took the Joke down Bomber Continued frees Page ■ -——— of wreckage and members of the crew of ease of the two missing B-24 bombers from Hammer Field.

He remembers the sound of his Air Force capuin yelling 'ball out, bail out' to the crew before the crash, as Barulic prepared to parachute out of the bomb bay door and Into the morning sky. Tomorrow it will be exactly 37 years since Barulic, a then military aircraft radio officer, made a para¬ chute landing onto the shores of Huntington Lake, near where six of his fellow crew members plunged to their death in the icy waters. Interest in Barulic, the bomber, and the crash has been revived In recent months by Gene Forte, a Los Banos promoter who attempted' to a local nightclub to sell It to a stand- up comedian. The comedian that bought It frac¬ tured his larynx from laughter the first time he tried to tell the joke to a live audience, and finally had to settle for writing the Joke on a blackboard that had been erected on the stage. The audience read the Joke and be¬ gan to laugh so hard that they sucked all the oxygen out of the air causing 1 widespread amnesia and massive orain damage. What was the ultimate Joke? Well, I'm going to tell it, but first I want everyone out there to promise that whatever happens to their internal organs, they won't sue the Dally Collegian. Promise?

Suddenly, the over¬ sexed duck leaped up and said (continued on Page 13) unsuccessfully to raise all of the B-24 bomber from below the Sierra Lake's surface. Forte wanted to pre¬ serve the World War II relic. The salvage operation drew nation¬ al media attention.

No leads gained in Hambrock murder
By Joann Woodworth back to students who might have but that tall attempts to find any number of full-time students enrolled
Fresno police still have no solid
leads into the death of CSUF student
KrisU Hambrock.
Hambrock, 20, who lived in the
CSUF dorms, was found unconscious
and dying at an entrance to Shakey's

She had been stabbed once and
died from massive internal hemor¬
