  • I news February 4,1998 ^Carolinian Public Safety Asks Students Bye-Bye to for Help in Book Theft Case by Gene McAbee On Tuesday, January 27, between 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a. m., a series of thefts occurred in Forsyth and Killian Annex. These thefts may be related, and Public Safety asks that everyone be alert for suspicious activity in and around offices. In Forsyth, a college-aged white male entered a professor's office on the second floor and stole three books. The male was tall, had blond hair and was wearing a dark blue or black jacket and a cap. He was carrying a blue backpack. In addition, another professor had a set of keys stolen during the same time period, and a third professor found that books were missing from his office. Shortly afterward, staff members in the DEC saw a college-aged male enter an office there. It is believed that he may have stolen a laptop computer from that office. The physical description of that person was similar, though he was wearing a white jacket. You will not be able to identify these thieves by the physical descriptions available. They will at times be connected to book-buying companies. You should be suspicious of anyone going door to door with offers to buy books. Remember, those individuals must have a solicitation permit issued by the Business Office. Door-to-door solicitation is a Bailey's by Tina Chastain violation of the University's policy on solicitation. The University Police Department suggests that you be alert for individuals who wander in and out of open rooms. If questioned, they may be prepared to answer that they are looking for a specific person. We also suggest that those of you who have offices close and lock your office doors when you are not in the office. Chief Bill Hollingsed is investigating the incidents. If you have information, please call him at 227-7301. Continued from PUSH on page 2 vehicle had driven on the yard.

An anonymous source close to the Bailey's establishment has stated that the closing was due of "delinquent payments." Regardless of why, many WCU students are feeling the absence of one of the Catamounts' favorite hangouts. One of them is freshman Jenny Sircey, who stated that she "will miss getting dressed up and going dancing, because there isn't a wide variety of things to do in Cullowhee." Erin Byrnes, sophomore, stated, "College night was fun, but the Monday night wrestling was even better."
