Theta Xi, D. A. E. Houses Entered by Robbers Early in Morning

Robbers entered, both the Delta Alpha Epsilon and Theta Xi houses early yesterday morning to take a total of $295 in cash. The robbers of the former house obtained $220 between 5 and 7 o'clock while those of the latter took only $75, entering the house between 3 and 6 o'clock.

The D. A. E.'s reported that all the money obtained was taken from members' clothing as it hung in the rooms. No closets were entered nor was anything but currency molested. One of the members who retired at. 5 o'clock found nothing amiss, but another who arose at 7 discovered his money missing.

A systematic search of the Theta Xi rooms was made by the burglars, but there, also, only cash was taken. The Theta Xi's were twice victims of similar, occurrences last year, losing about $100 in cash on one occasion, and several large silver loving cups on another.
