JONATHAN LANE Alcohol has administration worried One student dismissed as a result of alcohol abuse A female student was asked to leave Washing- ton University two weeks ago for the remainder of the semester, after several alcohol-related inci- dents. The freshman was reported to Emergency Support Team (EST) on at least two separate occa- sions and was receiving counseling services as a result of one of those incidents. The student may return to school at the start of spring semester. Though the student was asked to leave cam- pus by the administration, students who knew the freshman wondered if EST played a role in her dismissal. Traditionally, EST treats students confidentially, with no threat of revealing pa- tients’ identities. Senior Carrie Bedient, field director of EST, said that the student’s dismissal was not related to treatment by EST. “[The student] being asked to leave had noth- ing to do with EST,” said Bedient. “We are called to provide a service and we do that—nothing we do can get someone removed from the school.” The student, who left campus two weeks ago, asked not to be identified, saying her return to the University next semester was contingent upon the administration’s approval. She declined to elaborate further. This suspension comes at the heels of an Oct. 8 Student Union Senate meeting, at which Presi- dent Michelle Miller said that during a meeting with the vice chancellor, concern was expressed regarding the increased number of alcohol-re- lated hospitalizations this academic year.

Recent intrusions cause concern
Holding doors open for fellow book-laden students is a daily act of chivalry for students living on campus. Extending such courtesy to strangers, however, may have been a factor in last month’s burglary at Hurd Residence Hall and the recent invasion of privacy at Umrath Dorm.
According to one of the victims in the recent Hurd burglary incident, the intruders did not raise suspicion until after they had successfully stolen several valuable items, including a computer, watches, a cell phone and a digital camera.
“Two of the girls were in our suite at the time,” said a
female student who asked to remain anonymous. “Both were in their rooms with the door shut, and it was about 4:00 in the afternoon. One of them heard somebody rustling around in my room and thought I had come back for something.”
Apparently the intruders did not appear suspicious when they were let into the building.
“It was apparent that somebody had let this woman and man into the building earlier that day around the same time,” said the student. “They apparently looked like they were looking for the RA. [The female suspect] looked like a middle-aged woman, totally unsuspi-cious.”
