House Vandalized
During Holidays
Vandals broke into the Delta Del-
ta Delta sonority lodge over the
Easter vacation. The exact time of
the vandalism is not definitely
known but it is believed to have
been either late Sunday night or
Monday night.
Chairs, tables and other furniture
were upturned and scattered
throughout the lodge. Trophies
were put in the ice-box and draw-
ers were emptied in the floor.
The only thing damaged was a cof-
fee table, which had a leg broken
off.
According to Dean George Mc-
Carty, the city police are working
on the case, and they have a good
idea who is responsible.
The campus has recently suffer-
ed from a rash of minor theft and
vandalism which is hoped origin-
ated from other than local sources.
Dean McCarty said that the po-
lice are working on all of these
occurrences, but as yet have come
up with nothing concrete.
