Show Plant Napper Strikes By JOHN C. MAY Chronicle Staff Writer A mystery on campus in the style of a Perry Mason thriller has occured; but a plant is involved in-volved instead of a beautiful girl. A good title would be the "Case of the Vanishing Plant" or The Great Tropical Bush Robbery. THE CRIME took place at the Art Center, building 441, during the evening of Dec. 1. The time was placed between the hours of six and ten o'clock. All that is certain is that the plant was not in its accustomed place in the hallway the 'next morning. The clues are scarce all that is left is a smudge of dirt where the planter set. However two accomplices ac-complices would have been needed to lift the 100 pound bushy plant. And undoubtedly the thiefs would have gotten splinters in their hands from the redwood container. THESE FACTS are known because be-cause at the nofth end of the Art Center is an identical plant, that was spared. Students should be on the lookout for the loose tropical plant the description of the victim vic-tim is as follows: It is three feet tall with many branches displaying display-ing bunches of light and dark green leaves having a reddish-pink reddish-pink vein running down the middle. Gerald G. Purdy, associate art professor, was disturbed about the incident, exclaiming, "Where is our plant!" mpmMmmwv aisan ii i warn iswjwsj'w y j (A o 'y f lit ::fj ... xv.v.v.. - .-...w. - l..c.-;- oh where has the Httle plant gone," Steve Rudlnger JnJacobson seem to say as they search for tropical bush. |
