1. Security officers responded to Riverview Building D on Friday, Nov. 18 at 1:08 a.m. after a natural gas odor was reported in a third floor suite, according to UR Security Investigator Roger Keirsbilck.
The suite’s occupants claimed that they had first noticed the smell when they turned the heat on and felt dizzy earlier that day, but both declined medical attention.
The area was checked by the Rochester Fire Department, Rochester Gas & Electric and Somerset Management, and the source of the odor was eventually found to be a vent near the gas meter.
Although the odor could return, it does not pose any threat to occupants.

Roving female causes concern
5. While working in Hutchison Hall on Thursday, Nov. 24 at 6:51 p.m., a graduate student noticed a female in the area who seemed suspicious, according to Kerisbilck.
When the graduate student asked if he could help her, she said she was in search of the Strong Emergency Department.
The graduate student pointed the woman in the right direction, but as she walked away she began to yell at the graduate student. He then contacted Security, saying that she appeared confused and disoriented.
Officers located the woman at Hutchison Road and Wilson Boulevard, but she yelled at them and refused to stop. She proceeded to walk to the Emergency Department and checked herself in to be seen.
The graduate student stated that he had not felt threatened and did not submit a police report.
