Watch Your Belongings

December 15th, 2004

It appears that a law student’s jacket was stolen from the Law Library today. Sadly, this is not the first jacket stolen from a campus library this year. Please keep in mind that the library, the law campus, and Lewis & Clark College as a whole are open to the public most hours of the day.

Be sure to lock your laptop (cables available at the L&C Computer Showroom) to your desk at all times, and take valuable items with you when you step away from your study space, even if only for a very short absence.
