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.

University will be presented to 100 student
