Stranger than fiction

Did you see the story in the news alert on the right side of this blog that KU is talking up their reduced crime statistics over the past few years? There is no mention in the WIBW report about crimes in residence halls or on campus per se. Where is a similar release from K-State?

The K-State police log from over the weekend as 9 pages, mostly incidental stuff. A traffic stop here, a water leak there, security alarm and elevator calls. Not all the entries were routine, though.

This was from March 31, not April Fool's Day.

CUSTODIAL CREW CALLED FROM SEATON HALL SAYING THERE WAS A WILD TURKEY THAT WAS RUNNING AROUND THE BUILDING

Another incident, recalling the movie Dude, where is your car?

RILEY COUNTY CALLED AND WANTED ON OFFICER TO GO TO xxx MARLATT HALL TO TRY AND MAKE CONTACT W XXXX AND ASK HIM IF HE KNOWS WHERE HIS CAR IS,
WHO WOULD HAVE HIS K-STATE I.D., DRIVER'S LICENSE, AND STEREO.151 MADE CONTACT W/ XXX ROOMATE AND THE ROOMATE TRIED TO MAKE CONTACT WITH XXXX, BUT WAS UNABLE TO. 151 ADVISED THAT THE ROOMATE GAVE HIM A NAME OF WHO XXX MIGHT BE STAYING W/, AND XXX PHONE NUMBER. RCPD MADE CONTACT WITH XXXX AND WAS GOING TO XXX ADDRESS TO MAKE CONTACT WITH XXX. THEY ALSO LOCATED XXX CAR AND THE STEREO WAS MISSING OUT OF IT.

This police log entry highlighted below certainly relates to campus security issues, particularly residence hall security. The time is overdue for K-State to implement the new residence hall security plan. Could it have been done at semester instead of 2007-08?
