THEFT DELAYS NEW

EXHIBITION AT MUSEUM

The much anticipated new series of

exhibitions at the University Exhibit

Museum has been delayed until next week

due to an unforeseen problem with a

missing artifact. Dr. Robert Gladding,

Junior Curator at the museum, spoke to our

reporter yesterday. He confirmed that at

least one of the new artifacts, on loan from

the Boston Heritage Center, has

disappeared.

At first it was suspected that the artifact

had been misplaced, but on examination of

the entire consignment from Boston the

Police were notified. Gladding said,

“Although theft is unlikely, as the artifact

in question has little value, we cannot rule

it out at this time.” The investigations

continue and now work is underway to

change the exhibit in order to compensate

for the missing items.
