Two false fire alarms reported
within past two weeks
by Carol Mandera
Collegian Staff Writer
Lawrence Hall was evacuated
by campus police shortly after 1
am Sunday following the second
false fire alarm in the building in
the last two weeks.
Randy Hoffman, Manager of
Police and Safety, reported that
officers evacuated and inspected
the building. No evidence of
smoke or fire was discovered.
Officers did find evidence of an
intentional false alarm, set on the
east end of the first floor.
Residents were allowed back in
the building about 20 minutes
after the evacuation. Hoffman
said that his department is
continuing to investigate and
asks that anyone with
information contact the
Department of Police and Safety
at Extension #6lOl.
Police are currently
investigating two cases involving
the theft of property belonging to
Behrend students. A VCR valued
at approximately $350 was stolen
from a campus apartment. The

"If the DA's office says the

referring to Sigma Kappa Nu's
incorporated status, "then only
the fraternity will face charges. If,
however, die DA says they're not

The Collegian Wednesday, February 7,1990
stated that he was in his bedroom
using the phone when he heard
someone enter his apartment.
Upon investigation, he discovered
his VCR had been stolen.
Hoffman stated that the student's
apartment had been unlocked at
the time of the theft.
Hubcaps valued at $2OO were
stolen Friday from a vehicle
parked in the apartment lot.
According to Hoffman, the
vehicle belonged to a male
student residing in one of the
campus apartments.
Police are seeking information
which will lead to the
identification of the person or
persons who emptied a fire
extinguisher inside one of the
campus apartments. According to
Hoffman, the incident was
committed between 8 pm
Thursday and 1 am Friday. He
stated that the apartment resident
admitted to leaving the apartment
unlocked and that the student
discovered the crime when he
returned. Potential damage
estimates from the dry chemical
could be as high as $2OOO,
Hoffman said.

the DA's discretion.
While Sigma Kappa Nu may
be spared criminal charges at the
moment, another wrinkle in the
case is university discipline.
According to David Shields,
Assistant Dean of Student
Services, Sigma Kappa Nu is
currently in the last month of a
year-long probation. Shields said
no decisions have been made
referring to discipline until the
university has more information
on the case.
"I suspect,” said Shields,
"once we have more facts we will
respond in some way with regards

Three bottles found on the
floor near a broken window in the
Apartment Community Center
are believed to have been used to
smash the window. The incident
was reported to campus police on
Saturday, and the investigation
continues.
Two minor traffic accidents are
under investigation. On Tuesday,
January 30, a student reported her
car was hit while parked in the
Reed Lot. Hoffman stated that the
accident happened during the
evening and that minor damage to
the right rear of the car was
reported. The second accident was
reported on Friday by a
commuter student whose car was
damaged while parked in lot E.
Minor damages were reported.
Department of Police and
Safety monthly statistics for
January 1990 show that the
department conducted 23 original
criminal investigations, 31
follow-up criminal
investigations, and issued 311

and made three arrests.
to disciplinary action. We need to
get more information, but we
won't be complacent about the
situation."
Shields said in a worst-case
scenario the fraternity could suffer
a loss of recognition from the
university. He added university
disciplinary action will depend on
how the groups are charged, but
said neither Sigma Kappa Nu or
Delta Chi wouldn't escape an
inquiry into the matter.
Officials were not sure when
the District Attorney's office
would reach a decision as to
whether charges would be filed,
and it so, how and when.
