The student, who wishes to remain anonymous, has received one year residence hall probation for what he was told was a "failure to comply" violation of page 64 ofthe student handbook. According to the student, ten minutes before his shift ended he saw two men playing football and then heard a window break. He went outside and saw the third floor window broken. "I didn't think the guys playing football had broken the window and I saw that other people were handling the broken window situation, so I went back inside," said the student. The student then alleges that he went back into the lounge and saw the football lying on one ofthe couches and decided to take it upstairs and return it to the owner. The student said he went up to the third floor and then saw a Campus Safety officer come out ofthe bathroom. The student alleges that an exchange occurred between the officer and himself in which the officer asked about his involvement in the broken window and the desk assistant explained he wanted to return the football. The officer then allegedly asked for his name and proof of l.D. "When I told him that I didn't have my card it was like he didn't believe me. He kept repeatedly asking for it and I kept telling him that I didn't have it," said the stu- Campus Safety Jenny Colvflle/QC Photo Editor dent. Then, several people came out of their rooms and watched the disagreement. "At this point I decided I just didn't want to deal with it and I tossed the football to another student.

The student admitted that he got angry and told the officer to "take his hands off of me."
