Housing’s plan
to attract more
residents by
providing
better service
By Michael Hines
Editor in Chiel
This fall will mark the second year in a
row the number of students in University
Housing has fallen below capacity. But
Housing Director Mike Eyster said he ex
pects this trend to be temporary.
"I think this is going to be a short-term
thing,” he said.
Eyster said he expects the numerous
changes Housing will be making for the fall
to correct recent trends.
Most of the Housing attrition is due to po
tential returning residents deciding to move
into off-campus apartments and houses, he
said. To counteract the trend, Eyster said he
is avoiding extra marketing and is instead
focusing on offering a better product to the
students.
"It’s not to my advantage to try to strong
arm these folks,” Eyster said.
Housing has been planning numerous
changes for months, and it recently an
nounced even more major changes, mostly
dealing with food service.
“I think students want maximum flexibil
ity,” Eyster said. "Students’ schedules are
different from the rest of the world.”
To more fully accommodate students,
Housing will be expanding its popular Grab
’n Go meal option to an entire cafeteria. In
stead of offering Grab ’n Go out of a small
cart in the Carbon Hall lobby, Housing will
move the option to the Hamilton cafeteria.
That will leave Carson and the University
Inn with the remaining two cafeterias.
“It’s just sort of exploded,” Eyster said.
"There were so many people eating at Grab
n Go in Carson that Hamilton was really
being underutilized.”
As a result, he decided to make Grab ’n
Go a major part of Housing’s food service.
“We were serving more lunches out of
that little 75-square-foot area than we were
at Hamilton or Carson, or even the UI some
days,” Eyster said. “What we're seeing is a
huge demand for convenience.”
Grab ’n Go, which enters its third year of
existence in the fall, will be open from 7

Man arrested
in connection
with burglaries
Police had been tracking the
suspect for six months after a
string of thefts from homes
By Leanne Nelms
Associate Editor
A man Eugene police suspect of commit
ting as many as 45 home burglaries, includ
ing some in the south campus area, was ar
rested Wednesday morning.
Patrick Andrew Logan, 28, was appre
hended by Springfield police acting on a tip
that he was at a residence there. Logan was
wanted in connection with a string of bur
glaries that began in November 1997, said
Jan Power, a spokeswoman for the Eugene
Police Department.
Power said many of the burglaries Logan is
suspected of were “cat burglaries,” where a
burglar enters through an unlocked door,
window or pet door and steals easily reach
able items while residents are sleeping.
According to Power, Logan is accused of
stealing cash, checks and credit cards from
wallets and purses, as well as portable items
with resale value, such as calculators.
Logan is suspected primarily of burglaries
concentrated in two south Eugene areas.
Power said that at first, homes south of the
Eugene Fairgrounds were targeted, but later
the activity shifted to residences south of the
University.
Police first identified Logan as a suspect
about six months ago, Power said. "But in
the spring the activity stopped,” she said,
and police speculated he had moved out of
the area or “thought he was getting too hot.”
After several indictments for Logan’s ar
rest were delivered to a grand jury in July,
though, cat burglaries resumed more fre
quently again, Power said. “The last four
weeks we’ve really been looking for him,”
she said.
Logan is scheduled to be arraigned at 1:30
p.m. today. As of Wednesday evening, he
was expected to be charged with three counts
of second-degree burglary as well as several
drug charges for which he had previously
failed to appear. It was unclear whether fur
ther burglary charges would be filed.
Police are still advising the community to
secure their homes’ doors and windows at
night to stay safe.
