The Daily Cal can do the following:
1) bring a civil suit against him, for the cost of the papers, plus any other damages (including punitive) that they can prove/convince a jury of.
AND
2) the UCPD has referred the matter to the Alameda County district attorney, suggesting that a petty theft charge is in order. Petty theft is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, up to six months in county jail, or both.
I'm not sure if the city of Berkeley has any elected official conduct codes; my guess is that, as long as that conduct is not "conservative," they do not.

IMO, both actions should be taken. This worm should be stopped in his tracks. Of course in my day, the only people who stole the entire production of the Daily Cal were Stanford pranksters who substituted their own issue. It was Big Game Week, of course.
