best of crime log
    -Spring `95
    With the unusually high number of murders this semester, in addition to break-ins and fights that were listed in the Crime Log, it is a relief to see the humorous listings to give us a break from the more serious side of college life. Here are a few of the more humorous listings that appeared in the Crime Log this spring. This log does not include any arrests or listings where someone had been injured.

Complainant reported to the UTPD at 12:40 p.m. on Feb. 28 that another staff member had told her that a male subject had possibly used the women's restroom because the toilet seat was left up and urine was found in an area that would have been impossible for a woman to have placed it there at the Communications Building, 1345 Circle Park.
