Source: Department of Public Safety Crime briefs bizarre behavior’ in Lawrence Hall Library Last week, an unidentified man caused alarm in the Lawrence Hall Architecture and Allied Arts Library with his inappropriate behavior. Stu dents were startled when movement under library tables turned out to be a person crawling around, peeping up at students, according to Department of Public Safety reports. “We have someone engaging in bizarre behavior,” said Joan Saylor, the DPS administrative lieutenant.

The culprit returned the follow ing evening at 6:32 p.m. and exhibit ed the same behavior. Staff called DPS again, but the man left again be fore officers arrived.

He called for a new generation of lighter, more mobile and more so phisticated military devices that would harness new technologies. “Our goal is to move beyond mar ginal improvements” in older weaponry, Bush said after visiting a joint U.S.-NATO command post on the nation’s Eastern seaboard and viewing an electronic naval battle simulation. To those who might criticize his plans, Bush suggested they wait un til Defense Secretary Donald Rums feld finishes a top-to-bottom review of the military. He did not suggest which weapons systems he might delay or seek to can cel to make room for new technology. But later, aboard Air Force One, Bush told reporters, “We must do it. We’ve got some tough choices to make, but that’s why you get elected. ” Bush also promoted his proposal for a multibillion-dollar national mis sile defense shield that would protect not only the United States but allies from limited ballistic missile attack. ‘ ‘The defenses we build must protect us all, ” he told an audience that includ ed emissaries from 18 NATO partners. European allies have been skeptical about such a system, which is strongly opposed by Russia and China. The president expressed anguish over the loss of life, both in an Army helicopter mishap Monday night on the Hawaiian island Oahu and of Japanese passengers on a fishing boat that was struck by a U.S. sub marine just south of the island. Bush led a silent prayer for the six killed and 11 injured in the crash of two Army Black Hawk helicopters. “Just this morning, we were remind ed of the risks of your duty and the sac rifices that you make,” Bush said. Later, he said, “The soldiers are my direct responsibility as com mander in chief. I take the respon sibility incredibly seriously.” Through his campaign, and now as president, Bush has talked about committing defense dollars to fast forwarding research and skipping to a new generation of weaponry and defensive systems. Bush has proposed a $14 billion increase over current defense spending, the same increase the Clinton administration had project ed for the coming fiscal year. On Tuesday, he pledged an in crease of at least $2.6 billion for re search and development. The president visited Norfolk’s Joint Forces Command’, where he spoke by a video link with Vice Adm. Michael Mullen, stationed about 50 miles offshore on the USS Mount Whitney. He watched Mullen coordinate a simulated U.S.-NATO response to an enemy missile attack. “Pretty (exciting technology, and it’s only going to get better,” Bush said. Crime briefs continued from page 6 stolen musical instruments. The subject was caught on the second sales attempt, Saylor said. “A non-student apparently com mitted a theft of musical instru ments off campus and tried to sell the items at the School of Music,” Saylor said. Video footage of the sales was ob tained by DPS and will be used to as sist with charges against the subject. Harassing phone calls Early Thursday morning, a Tingle Hall resident called DPS to report harassing phone calls during the middle of the night directed at his girlfriend, whom he believed was being stalked by the caller. The resi dent and his girlfriend filed a report with DPS. Most harassing phone calls end up being inter-campus calls, Saylor said. If the caller leaves a message on the University’s voice-mail system, it will automatically include the home number of an on-campus caller. “Students should report [harass ing calls] right away,” Saylor said. “With the permission of a person re ceiving calls, we can log calls through the department, [which records their phone numbers]. ” However, logging calls is a meas ure only taken in extreme cases, Saylor said. Typically, the depart ment encourages students to change their phone numbers instead. If the caller is identified, action will be taken, said University Housing Di rector Mike Eyster. In cases of outside calls, DPS can get the Eugene Police Department involved, particularly if it knows who the caller is. “If it was a persistent problem, we could use measures like logging calls through DPS,” Eyster said. “We’ve actually identified people that way, and a conduct charge has been filed.” -compiled by Rebecca Newell A valentine Haiku for my Best Friend.
