Car hits posts on

Wilson Blvd.

A single-car accident was reported at 4:30 a.m. Sunday. The driver was travelling south on Wilson Boulevard approaching Faculty Road when he saw a vehicle coming down Faculty Road that he believed was going to strike his vehicle. The driver swerved and struck the posts on Wilson Boulevard just south of Faculty Road.

The approaching vehicle apparently negotiated the turn onto Wilson Boulevard without incident and left the area.

The student operator of the car striking the posts reported major damage to his vehicle.

Student assaulted on Fraternity Quad

A student reported an assault on the Fraternity Quad at 3:48 a.m. Saturday. The victim reported that he had been assaulted by three members of a fraternity in retaliation for his having thrown eggs at their fraternity house.

The student is a member of a different Greek organization than the suspects. He sustained injuries to his face, neck and arms and was transported to Strong Memorial Hospital for evaluation and treatment.

The victim elected not to file a police report at that time.

Car on Library Rd. broken into

Two UR graduates visiting campus parked their vehicle on Library Road adjacent to the Field House Thursday afternoon, and upon returning to the vehicle discovered that someone had obtained entry into their vehicle and stolen their backpacks.

One of the backpacks contained the victim’s wallet with cash and credit cards, and books and miscellaneous papers. The other bag contained photographic slides and papers. The estimated values of the backpacks are $160 and $110, respectively.

There were no signs of forced entry into the vehicle.

Illegal solicitors

reported in SBA

Students in Susan B. Anthony Residence Halls notified security Friday evening that there were persons in the building handing out menus for a local restaurant.

One resident stated that the suspects gave him a hard time when he refused to take one of their menus.

There should be no one soliciting in the buildings. If students come in contact with persons doing so they should call security.
