In the past week, there have been a few HC-related items of interest:
The Holy Cross Community Alliance has put together a new webpage dedicated to community relations. (This was announced shortly after Ed Augustus was named Director of Government and Community Relations.)- If you think small-town police blotters are awesome, you should make the HC police blotter part of your regular reading. See Friday, February 11: “Three students forced to return to campus from Mechanics Hall for breaking alcohol rules.”
- And there was an interesting article in last week’s Crusader about the need (and proposal) for a new student center (as the campus needs more on-campus activities for students, and the Hogan Center isn’t cutting it).

WPI used to print extracts from the police log in their newspaper every week- either they don’t do it any more, or it’s not in the online edition.
“General Tso’s Horoscopes” are amusing, though:

Especially if you look at the old police logs –
“Nine reports of viral gastro-intestinal-itis in 24 hours.”
“Racoon with a broken leg between Kaven and the library.”
“Skull calls campo because a photographer from the school newspaper is following them around taking pictures. Officer determines that both parties are students and that the photographer is ‘doing his job’.”
That’s better than Holden!
“Sunday, January 31
8:25pm: Parent requesting well-being check on child that has not been heard from in 5.5 hours”
“Friday, February 19
9:34pm: Student reports a raw chicken and a 5 lb bag of powder on the walkway behind Riley Common.”
“Saturday, February 27
1:00am: Guy chasing screaming girl near skull tomb. Officer suggests sledding.”
(Some of these might be funnier if you are an alum)
