SMWJ**££SSwZ' from \ocKer By Ann Portal Ot Vm CmmU At least one student lost money Wednesday morning when someone used bolt cutters to break into lockers in the men's locker room in Esslinger Hall The student, who discovered his lock cut and $70 missing at about 11 a m., prompted a search of the locker room that produced several more locks that had been "clipped clean" and tossed in wastebaskets, according to Sgt Rick Allison of the Eugene Police Department A locker room attendant didn't notice any unusual activity at the time of the theft, and there are no suspects at the moment, he said Allison predicted more thefts will follow in the next few days, because of the large amounts of money students are carrying after registration Several backpacks already have been stolen this week, he said, adding that "people have to be especially on their guard, because we have peo ple aware of the influx of money " During the spring break, $5,753 worth of jewelry and clothing was taken from a room in DeBusk dormitory after the window was pried from its frame Stolen items included a pearl necklace, a "very expensive" diamond necklace and gold jewelry, Allison said A maintenance worker discovered the ruined window frames of that dorm room and the one next door, he said There has been no report of items missing from the second room. “The moral of this is when you leave the University, do not leave valuables in the room," Allison said, suggesting students make arran gements with friends or rent safe deposit boxes for valuables. In an unrelated incident just before the spring break, a “transient-type" entered the women's restroom on the third floor of the McClain dormi tory where he read pornographic magazines and defecated on the floor of the restroom Campus security was not notified the first two times the suspect was seen, and was called only after a resident assistant spotted him, Allison said By the time security arrived, the suspect could not be found “We need people to react immediately, and not assume that everything's OK," he said. The suspect is described in police reports as being 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds and wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt. The sweatshirt was tied up so that only the suspect s eyes and nose protruded, Allison said.
