Unfortunately, that dream w a s shattered Saturday afternoon, w h e n a shootout with the University of W i s c o n s i n at O s h Kosh went the other way, 3-2.

Wilkerson ran for representative in D u r f e e this a u t u m n and fell t o r e p r e s e n t a t i v e A n d r e w Van Eden ( ' 9 7 ) .

Public Safety reports vandalism, stolen bikes by Jim Riekse n e w s editor Public Safety o f f i c e r s are in pursuit of vandals w h o propelled a hunk of c o n c r e t e t h r o u g h the large first floor b e d r o o m w i n d o w of the Dorian Cottage, 154 E. 13th St., late Saturday night. The wedge broke through both layers of glass, one of which w a s an i n s u l a t i n g s t o r m s h i e l d , and ripped through the blinds s e n d i n g shards of glass flying 20 feet out into the hallway and kitchen. The slab landed on the upper bunk bed. O n l y o n e of the nine residents of the cottage w a s h o m e at the t i m e . T h e o t h e r eight w o m e n were away at their sorority formal. "I w a s stunned to see glass all o v e r my r o o m , " said S t a c e y Wendt ( ' 9 6 ) . "If I had been lying there 1 could have been seriously hurt. I ' m scared as to the intentions of w h o e v e r threw the stone. I hope they did it k n o w i n g no one w a s h o m e . " A rock was also thrown through a w i n d o w of Phelps Hall early S u n d a y m o r n i n g . D u a n e Terpstra, assistant director of Public Safety, said he d o e s n ' t k n o w if the t w o incidents are related but, " t h e r e ' s always a possibility." In other reports, Public Safety issued an E-mail m e m o r a n d u m to alert H o p e students to the theft of 15 b i k e s a m o u n t i n g to a h e f t y $ 7 , 0 0 0 loss o v e r t h e last f e w weeks. T h e warning didn't spare Jason Prince ( ' 9 6 ) any grief, however, when his bike w a s lifted S u n d a y
evening. Unlike the majority of the bikes stolen, mostly pricey m o u n tain bikes. Prince lost an antique Schwinn, which h e l d a c e r t a i n sentimental value. " I ' m m a d b e c a u s e it m e a n t s o m e t h i n g to m e , " said Prince. "It w a s a classic black Schwinn with c h r o m e fenders. I had bought it at an auction, o u t b i d d i n g three old g u y s . I w a n t e d to give it to my kids. You just c a n ' t replace an old Schwinn." Public Safety has not yet rec o v e r e d any of the stolen bikes. " W e believe that they are being taken off c a m p u s and s t r i p p e d or s o l d s o m e w h e r e , " Terpstra said. Public Safety believes student knowledge of the problem to be the most likely solution. " W a r n i n g is the best thing we can d o , " said Terpstra. In addition, Terpstra credited s t e p p e d - u p security m e a s u r e s to the e l i m i n a t i o n of recent t h e f t s f r o m Peale S c i e n c e Center. Peale had been subject to an est i m a t e d $ 1 , 0 0 0 in stolen e q u i p ment—including a TV/radio, V C R , and M a g n a v o x video c a m e r a — o v e r the past weeks. T h e 8 2 3 lecture hall suffered the greatest losses and has been since equipped with a punch code on the door to prevent further larceny. Still, Public Safety is looking for added safety measures. "We are g o i n g to have tighter controls this spring, including k e e p i n g the d o o r s locked at all times during the w e e k e n d , " Terpstra said.
