Pilfered papers

The Daily Campus

About 9,000 copies of the Daily Campus student newspaper were stolen Friday from the Daily Campus building and several dozen delivery locations at the University of Connecticut.

Thousands of copies later turned up in front of the Babbidge Library in plastic garbage bags, accompanied by red paper that read "TBC" in large lettering.

The total cost of production and potential loss of revenue from Friday's press run is estimated at a minimum of $3,573.62, according to Elizabeth Hathaway, the Daily Campus editor in chief.

Satisfying stash

Despite the federal crackdown on drug paraphernalia sales and marijuana-related Web sites, several University of Wisconsin marijuana sellers say their business remains stable.

One junior said marijuana use on campus is more casual than people realize.

"It's not some dark underworld drug scene," he said. "The people who are doing this are laid-back, relaxed people. You get it from your neighbor or your friend down the street."

One UW seller said the quality is always high because most of the drug comes from local growers who take care of their plants and sell it to rich university students who can afford the price.

On-campus oldie

A man with twice the life experience of most college students lives alongside them in the residence halls.

Joe Keller is a 46-year-old Iowa State University graduate student in math, who has chosen to live in a residence hall that typically houses younger students.

He lives in Murray House in Knapp Hall, which usually houses younger students.

Kate Bruns, communication specialist for the Department of Residence, said the average age of residents is 19.

"Only 13 of the 476 students in the entire building are in the age category of 22 and over," she said.

Keller said the benefits of living in the residence halls make it worth the inconveniences.
