Thievery in Koreo Seen
Horming U. S. Relations

SEOUL, July IL. - Thievery
in Korea is costing the Ameri-
can Army uncountable millions
Of dollars. Several American
officers here state that the in
creasing high rate of pilfering
is carried on with the conni-
vance of the Korean authors
ties, and the issue has disturb
I'd relations with the Korean
government and public opin-
ion.
1t is such a serious and deli
cate situation that Gen. I. D.
White. who until July l was
commander of the 9th Army in
Korea, issued orders that the
problem was not to be discuss
ed with foreign correspondents
But staff officers nevertheless
off the record are willing to
give examples of their losing
battle against Korean thievery
For the men involved in the
sensational robbery of an
American supply train a few
weeks ago, the Korean pros
ecutor asked only !. to 3-yea1

the Korean thieves it caught
over to the Korean police who
really took care Of them" an
officer who is stationed here for
his second tour of duty said.
Then the thefts decreased.
Now the police send men caught
in the act of stealing home
after we turn them over to the
cops. This could be stopped
if President Rhee gave the
word"
Another officer confirmed this
with statistics which show that
several soldiers tried for lar
ceny were sentenced to five to
10 years in Jail by military
courts while their Korean ac-
completes. who instigated crimes
were released by the Korean
police.
The Sticky Sticky boys" as
the gangs of thieves are known,
have pulled some jobs that the
smartest larcenists in the
world might envy. They have
loaded a complete electric gen.

out disrupting the camp light

when they were ready to pull

quiet night despite the fact
that it is inside a barbed-wire
compound.
There is hardly a soldier in
Korea who hasn't had some
thing stolen. Some are nicked
within the first "a hours in the
country. A soldier can file a
claim with the United States
Army for any items stolen and
will collect if he can prove that
he took proper precautionary
safeguards.
The Koreans place the blame
on the fact that there is no
status Of forces agreement CIV
ing the police permission to
arrest CTS who are caught
dealing in the black market.
Hence the police lose interest
in all theft cases. Most robberies
are apparently done in coll
fusion with United States per-
sonnet. So run the Korean
arguments.
Others explain and excuse
the robberies on the grounds
that AL this is due to the war.

Sutton says that 1.-THE deluge
is more likely to hit the in
situations with large dormitory
facilities"
The reason: Parents want
their children to go away to
college. And they prefer COL
leges which have controlled
residential facilities.
Nearly all seniors apply to at
least one of these schools. What
determines whether or not they
will get accepted?
Admissions policies. of course,
do vary from institution to
institution. But Harvard's is
a fairly representative one.
AT any Ivy League college,
if you meet the standards you
get in" That's the opinion of

Mr.. Henry has always main

for the person with some out

getting good marks. leading the
Student Council, playing the
violin or. indeed. playing foot
ball. There's no one answer.
4. How important are recon

fused-for admission at colleges
and universities throughout the
country.
Take David d. Henry. admis-
sionS director at Harvard. Each
year, on or about May Is, he
sends out the acceptances and
refusals to the some 1000 who
have applied for admission.
Then he takes a vacation.
This is the only way he can
avoid the many individuals who
invariably write, call or visit
his Office from all over the coun-
try tc protest the exclusions of
little Johnny "a wonderful
boyO.
He has to avoid such people,
because there is rarely anything
he can do to help them. A
residential institution, Harvard
only has room for an entering
class each year of about LOO.
So. more students must be re-
fused than accepted - even
though virtually all of the
1000 applicants have already
gone through preliminary
screening at their high schools
and are deemed suitable, even
superior. candidates for Har-
ward.

Visit Your Choice

Only after such a painstak-

cant's qualifications will Har-
ward decide who to accept and
who to refuse. It's never easy
often fine lines have to be
drawn between individuals
Sometimes it means that a
student who is 35th in his class
may be accepted over a class
mate who is second.
At Wilson High they're still
talking about one boy who, four
years ago, graduated 123d in
his class. He got into Harvard.

the urban ones-do not have

ward with a fixed. relatively
small, enrolment. But all do
have admissions requirements.
And they're usually not easy.
Wherever you want to 60 to
college, it always helps to make
a visit there, If possible.
AS John Wakefield, director
Of admissions at American Uni
versity, says:
when I talk to high school
seniors I usually tell them to
have more than one college in
mind and to visit these COL
leges. And talk to them to
get an honest picture of what
they are really like"
He tells the story Of one I'M
happy American University
student: "He applied to 10 col
leges and was accepted at nine
Of them. But he hadn't Wis
tied any of them"
To conclude this series, here
Is some advice from Timothy
E. Smith. educational counselor
at George Washington Univer-
sity. It's worth remembering:
students need an under
standing Of what's involved in
college. They must realize that
no one college is right for
everybody-but each college is
right for someone"

stop just dreaming about it.

accurate, they will count con-
siderably. If. on the other hand,
the admissions office does not
know much about the school,
and If not many of its gradu-
ates have come to Harvard,
recommendations will be
treated much more as just an
