REVIEW
Alice Diaz, senior, child development major:
"No. It Is evident In what has
happened, like the two assassination attempts. I think they
should have more than Just a
vague Idea on who ls a threat."

A brand new 10-speed bicycle sits locked
to a tree at CSUF. The owner ls Inside a
classroom taking a psychology test. Wham
she conies out, her bicycle is gone. Its
lock cut and the bike stolen.
Within tbe week the bike is locked to a
tree at the UC Santa Cruz campus while
Its new rider takes a test. This situation
is not a rare one, according to Sgt. Mike
Leedom of CSUF campus security.
There Is actual substantiated proof
where there have been bike rings where
bicycles have been stolen from our campus
and have been recovered on another campus," he said.
93 BIKES STOLEN
From Jan. 1 through July 1, 1975, 93
bicycles were reported stolen on the CSUF
campus. This Is 11 bicycles more than In
1974.
The total cost of the bicycles stolen has
been estimated at a Utile over $7,000 - an
average of just over $86 per theft.
Since the scho

He says the best thing students can do to
help prevent a bicycle theft is to report
anything suspicious.
•You'd be surprised how many students
see people walking around the bicycle racks
with bolt critters and think nothing of it,*
Leedom aald.
HARD TO PREVENT
According to Leedom, very few locks
can prevent a determined bike thief. "Students would need to spend $20 to $25 on a
lock and chain, and maybe that would prevent a theft."'.
California has instituted a new computerised service using bicycle serial numbers
to find stolen bikes. This service ls much
like the one used for autos. Although the
computer system Is helpful in recovering
stolen bikes, there is a serious flaw.
•Not too many students know the serial
number of thetr bicycles,' Leedom said.
•Bicycles are very difficult to recover If
reports are made without the serial nuro-
