Jury clears football player of burglary
At his second trial in less than a year, former University
football player Andrew Paige was found innocent Tuesday of two
burglary charges.
A 12-member jury voted to acquit Paige on the two charges,
following a seven-day trial that involved several former University
coaches and athletes
Paige, who was a quarterback on the 1979 football team, had
been accused of breaking into the home of former University
wrestler Donald Brown and stealing his stereo.
The second robbery charge was the result of a burglary in the
dormitory room of Jurgen Ware, a former Upward Bound coun
selor, in which a leather coat, rings and money were taken.
Darryl Larson, Lane County assistant district attorney and the
case's prosecutor, declined to comment Thursday on the out
come of the trial
Paige, who currently lives in San Diego and is on scholastic
probation from the University of Hawaii, testified at the trial that he
had purchased the stereo from "a blond-haired man" for $150.
He said the stereo was returned to Brown after University
athletic department officials informed him it had been stolen from
Brown's residence.
During the summer, Paige was acquitted on a charge of
attempted rape in the first degree. On May 25, he stands trial again
on a charge of attempted sodomy in the first degree A remaining
charge of first degree sodomy and coercion is on appeal to the
state Supreme Court.

Library thefts
on the increase
Thefts at the University Li
brary Wednesday and Thursday
cost at least nine people their
wallets, backpacks and purses,
according to Sgt. Rick Allison of
the Eugene Police Department
The belongings were taken
on all floors of the library, some
from students who had only left
their seat for a matter of
seconds. Allison says
“It’s getting really bad," he
says "We want to caution
students to not leave their stuff
unattended."
Janitors have found empty
wallets and purses in various
buildings around campus with
"anything of value" removed,
Allison says
There appear to be no wit
nesses of the thefts and campus
security has no suspects, he
says
Meanwhile, the tally of locks
cut in the Esslinger men's
locker room incident several
weeks ago ended up at 14. not
three as earlier reported
Bicycle thefts remain a major
problem, Allison says, with any
where from zero to five bikes
reported missing daily Selec
tive thieves are leaving the bike
frames and just taking wheels,
racks, handlebars and carrying
packs, he says
