Bear It Has Moved sil down and talk about specific problems" The Clery report is also incomplete Izatt added For example the requirement to report liquor law violations doesn't include incidents of intoxication or DUI two of the biggest categories of viostulations for college-ag- e dents Izatt said Furthermore the requirement to report assault refers only to aggravated assault omitting the more common charge of simple assault Probably the most frustrating limitation of the Clery requirement Izatt said is the fact that incorrect entries from the past are difficult to amend A typographical error an entry of eight murders instead of zero in 2001 stands because it would he easier to explain the error in the event of an inquiry than it would be to jump through the bureaucratic red tape to have it corrected Izatt explained “You have to get a special edict from the Department of Education” he said Chief Mecham said the 326 North 100 East BIG FIXon (Wed-Fr- i) Logan Recreation Center 100 S 100 W Available (435)753-822- 4 NO MOKE HOMFLtSI Open 10am-6y-m 435-7524- 326 North 100 East 77 Logaiif Utah NO EXCUSE (ft Call 1 For 00-897-LINK Fim CanMwM Mp wtfi ibnntcnlinci Mondqr-Fnd- 830ifli qf -- 500pm tour Get Your Pet Fixed At A Discount!
