The council passed a motion allowing the college to begin the groundwork for a fifth-yeaccounting program.

Chief of Security Kent Hoyt said that several boxes have been pried open and letters taken in many such incidents. He said the vandals seem to strike on evenings and weekends when the Student Center is open but few people are around. Hoyt said it appears the vandals are taking the letters in search of money. Some missing letters have been found in Limited, access is quite a frustration for students, but so is having a letter missing. garbage cans, apparently after they have been torn open by vandals. The problem has been occurring since last summer; however, over the weekend of November 5 the problem heightened. I guess about 13 boxes were opened, Hoyt said. Postmaster Delos Dalton said vandalism occurred' about three times during the summer and last month it happened almost every weekend to three or four boxes. Hoyt said his investigation has identified some suspects, however no arrests have been made. When I started the investigation a kid said he was supposed to get some money in the mail from his parents; he didnt receive it. However, Hoyt is unsure if the vandals have been successful in finding any money in letters. We did find four checks in the garbage can, so we wonder if checks really were taken, said Dalton. Dalton said there has been a problem with some of the boxes locking properly. I think Ive taken care of it. I tried to fix the problem or move them when a student has a problem. Dalton said most of the locks will automatically turn when they are closed so the box will lock, but some dont and they remain open. Hoyt said he has recommended that access to the post office boxes be confined to times that post office workers are on duty. Now thats quite a frustration for students, but so is having a letter missing. Weve got to catch them or change the post offices policies, he said. Dalton said he would rather not see access to the post office boxes limited, i would hate to see it that way because then it would be a hassle to students. Until a solution is found, Dalton said that students should not let their mail sit in their boxes for an extended length of time, especially if a letter containing money is expected. Hoyt said he encourages anyone that might have information about the incidents to contact Campus Security. five-ye- fifth-yea- st (Continued on page 8) |
