UR Security was notified at 1:20 a.m. on Sunday that an ambulance was en route to the Alpha Delta Phi house after reports of an injured student, according to UR Security Investigator Dan Lafferty.

The 19-year-old student was identified as an ADF pledge.

Ambulance workers and UR Security determined that the student had fallen down stairs inside the house and had hit the back of his head on the basement floor. The student suffered a laceration on the back of his head.

The injured student told UR Security that he had consumed one or two alcoholic beverages at a mixer earlier in the house. The mixer had not been a registered event.

The student was later transported by ambulance to the Strong Memorial Hospital Emergency Department for evaluation and treatment.

UR Security, in the course of the evening, confiscated four beer bongs from the ADF house. The objects were described as being “devices constructed of plastic tubing attached to funnels,” according to Lafferty.Student misuses blue phone A student picked up a blue phone this weekend and asked that the Medical Emergency Response Team come to assist him, according to Lafferty.

The student was then observed via closed-circuit TV leaving the area after hanging up the phone. A nearby student aide followed the student back to a room in Wilder Tower, where the student denied ever using the telephone that evening.

After UR Security officers arrived, the student confessed to using the phone as a joke.

The student was warned not to use the blue phones in non-emergency situations and was released.

The case has been referred to the Dean of Students for further action, according to Lafferty.Drunken bikers impede runnerA student running along the river last Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. reported three individuals on bicycles circling in front of her, according to UR Security.
