The Voice Of The Campus Since 1914 CAMPUS Harris Halls, Science Building Burglarized; Campus Safety Reports No Leads or Suspects ► Computers, a VCR, a CD player and cash were among the articles stolen in a series of burglaries of the Harris Residence Halls and the Science Building Monday and Tuesday. by CHRIS LONGMAN QC Staff Writer A series of burglaries has beset the Whittier College Campus in the last three days. Four incidents of theft, three in the Harris residential complex and one in the Science building, have been reported since Monday morning. Three dorm rooms, all on the first floor of Harris C, were burglarized Monday morning, sometime between 9 a.m. and noon. Campus Safety surmises that the perpetrator entered the building through the street-side window of one ofthe victims' rooms. The doors of the other two rooms had been Jeff unlocked by their occupants. Campus Safety Chief Ed Ma lone said that the Harris residents lost cash, credit cards, CDs, two computers, a few computer games and a CD player. The next day, between approximately 12:30 and 1:30 Tuesday afternoon, a Macintosh Power- book and a VCR were stolen from the Science building. Professor of Biology Warren Hanson reported the crime shortly after it happened. Hanson was able to give Campus Safety and Whittier Police a description of a man who was in the area around the time the theft occurred whom he did not recognize. However, Malone said, "All these cases are open and under investigation. We have no leads and no suspects at this time." Whittier Police apprehended one man on Tuesday during an attempted burglary of a residence on Earlham Drive across the street from the College. Another suspect eluded the police and fled.

Up until now, student-run organizations rented the floor every time a dance was held at the Faculty Center. As the Faculty Center—especially its carpeted floor—was not designed for social events of this nature, use of a dance floor is necessary to protect it. According to COR Treasurer junior Vuk Milojkovic, "The cost of every floor rental is between $200-$400. It was in the past paid for by COR as a part of the budgets allocated to various clubs." COR had made plans to purchase a dance floor to relieve student clubs from the added costs. Milojkovic estimated the cost of purchasing a dance floor and a cart to transport it (when not assembled) at $4,400. Milojkovic then explained, QC file photo Harold Hewitt "Since a dance is held by a student organization just about every week, the cost ofthe purchase of the floor was estimated to be covered after approximately 17 dances." However, before the dance floor could be bought, several issues arose. First of all, due to the size of the dance floor, there was an immediate need for a relatively large storage place. Please see FLOOR pg. 4 pus burglaries and the Earlham arrest. Harris resident Lee Wider agrees with Campus Safety's theory about the method. "It happened while we were all in class," he said. "One of the window screens was off when we got back, and we hadn't locked our doors." Wider estimates that he and his roommate probably incurred the least amount of loss in burglary. He said, "I personally didn't have anything stolen and I think my roommate lost less than $ 100." Wider's roommate, Eric Stevens said it must have been a quick job, noting that his CD player, left in a drawer, was not taken. "They just snagged my wallet," he said. Kris Loomis was less fortunate, losing his computer and printer. He said, "Anything that was out and accessible, they took." Loomis added that, "This is pretty typical really. 1 went to boarding school and the same thing always happened near the end of the semester." Area Coordinator Angelica Vergil has been conducting meetings with the Harris residents to keep them informed about the crimes. Vergil said, "We're reminding students to keep their doors and windows locked and we're asking them to keep their eyes open." Vergil added that all Harris residents have been notified, in writing, of both the crimes and Campus Safety's recommendations about security. Campus Safety has also posted "crime alert" fliers around the school suggesting that all members of the Whittier College community always secure their rooms, cars and offices. Campus Safety is requesting that anyone who has, "seen any suspicious people or activity or heard any information about these crimes, p'lease caVi Yne ■Campos Safety Office at ext. 4211 with the information."
