The victim stated that she had been assaulted several times over the last couple of weeks, according to police reports. She said the suspect wrestled with her and didn't stop until she was in tears. The victim said in one incident on Friday the suspect came running up to her and slammed her into the side of the building, according to police reports. Previously, on March 21, the victim said the suspect was wrestling with her and slammed her onto both her roommate's bed and her own. The officers tried to contact the suspect, but he was not in his dorm room. They returned a few hours later and located the suspect. He said he hadn't meant to hurt the victim and when they were wrestling he stopped as soon as she told him to. Student arrested for alcohol consumption A student was cited and released for illegal consumption of alcohol by a minor Saturday. An officer was responding to a suspicious circumstance call when he saw an individual run out of a door. Although the officers warned the suspect to stop, he refused and kept moving, according to police reports. The officers were able to catch the suspect and question him. When they asked the suspect why he didn't stop, the suspect responded that he didn't like cops and he was shy. Officers noticed that his speech was slurred and there was a strong odor of alcohol on his breath. The suspect said that he had a little to drink, according to police reports, but didn't know where he got the alcohol from. After talking with the suspect, the officers searched him for weapons and escorted him back to Wasatch Hall.

The officers were in the lounge of Wasatch Hall at 9 p.m. They checked the area, but didn't find anything. Chief continued from front editor in chief and a member of the committee that selected Roskelley, believes Roskelley will bring a new perspective to the paper and a high level of professionalism. Welling said Roskelley brings experiences from other universities as well as from a professional job. "She has a new eye on Weber State," Welling said. Because Roskelley hasn't been at WSU as long as others on The Signpost staff, Welling said she has the ability to see stories where others wouldn't. "Some of us have been here for so long and seen the same programs almost daily, that it's hard to see the potential for stories," Welling said. "But Lisa is looking at some of these things for the first time." Welling said Roskelley has already brought new ideas to the features section, such as fun things to do in Ogden over spring break and today's "Why Weber?" section. Welling also thinks Roskelley brings strong leadership skills to the paper. "1 think her leadership skills will bring a lot of good people onto the staff and keep them there," Welling said. Roskelley worked as editor in chief of her high school newspaper and yearbook her senior year. She also worked for HRP Inc. in California as a media assistant, where she corresponded between ad agencies and television stations. Roskelley supervised four other assistants at HRP.

"Most of the people I dealt with I never met or saw." Despite this, she was able to build relationships and effectively communicate with people. While she worked at HRP, she attended Santa Monica college for a year. She came to The Signpost as assistant copy editor for the summer of 1999. Roskelley became features editor in the fall of 1999, and holds the position now. Out of all her experiences, Roskelley feels her leadership skills will help the paper most. "I plan on being the leader and directing this very capable staff," Roskelley said. Roskelley also hopes to continue to build better relationships on campus. "I think overall we've had good relations, and I want to build on those," she said. She believes that professionalism is the most important thing on a college newspaper and will help further the relationships. "If you don't act professional, then you won't be treated as a professional entity," she said. Roskelley feels the other way to gain better relationships on campus is to provide comprehensive coverage. "There's so much that goes on," Roskelley said. "We need to approach organizations so we can let them know they'll be covered." She plans to give reporters beats, areas they constantly cover. Roskelley doesn't think that any of her goals will be a problem for the future staff, and she looks forward to next year. Colleagues don't doubt Roskelley's enthusiasm or dedication.Sheree Josephson, adviser to The Signpost, said she is looking forward to working with "such a talented young journalist." "She brings a wealth of experience to the position and the excitement and energy required to do the job," Josephson said. Current staff members agree. "She will put everything she has into the paper," Carter said. "She will make it her life." wo science WSU MAJOR FAIR 2.000 Date: Wednesday, March 29 Time: 10 am - 1 pm Location: Union Building Ballroom A DISCOVER THE MAJORMINOR THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU! !
