The Department of Public Safety confirmed there was a car accident, but neither DPS nor the Syracuse Police Department could access the accident report Sunday. Several eyewitness accounts confirmed seeing the car on its side and paramedics transporting an unknown girl in an ambulance from the accident, which occurred between the Alpha Epsilon Pi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity houses.

Bill changing UU funding process to be voted on Monday Managing Editor

Student Association assembly members will vote Monday on a bill to change the funding process for University Union. The bill would require UU to apply for funding annually rather than each semester. It would also make UU the Official Programming of Syracuse University.

The bill must pass a vote by a majority at Monday’s meeting. SA meetings are open to the public. SA divvies up the funds from the student activity fee to student organizations each semester for operating costs and programming. The current fee is $185 per student, totaling $2,541,160 for SA to split among campus organizations. UU

The Daily Orange

The Department of Public Safety is coordinating with the Syracuse Police Department after an unidentified man allegedly committed two robberies and attempted another in the past week in the off-campus area near Syracuse University. In two separate off-campus incidents Sunday, three people not affiliated with SU reported to Syracuse police that they were approached by a man, who in one instance had what appeared to be a handgun, according to a DPS e-mail sent Sunday afternoon. The same man is believed to be behind the Sunday incidents in the Euclid area and a robbery that occurred Thursday morning in Thornden Park. In the first Sunday incident, the suspect approached a man and demanded money at the intersection of Ostrom Avenue and Madison Street
