A trend of disorderly conduct continued early Saturday morning at Robbins Hall, when two males were reported throwing bottles out a fourth-floor window at a person walking through the breezeway.
Although no one was injured, the incident is drawing more attention to the recent incidents in the hall.
“These are definitely the types of things that raise a red flag with the staff,” said Michael Eyster, director of housing. “If I was aware of who threw a bottle out the window at a resident, I would evict them immediately.”
Further research into the Department of Safety’s crime log showed that disorderly conduct and questionable activity in and around Robbins Hall are not new. In late January, several reports were filed, ranging from charges of residents possessing marijuana to noise complaints.
“This has pretty much been happening all year,” said Kristin Brown, a freshman resident of Robbins Hall. “At the beginning of the year, there were people that wanted to cause trouble.”
Vandalism and graffiti have been common, Brown said, adding that many residents have been scratching their names into the lounge walls or using felt markers to draw on the walls.
University Housing staff members are reviewing the events and are dealing with the situation, Eyster said.
“There are at least two people who lived there that don’t anymore, which was a recent event,” Eyster said.
However, the problems haven’t disappeared yet, despite hall meetings, e-mails and the removal of two problem students, Brown said.
“There were some people removed, but it wasn’t only them,” Brown said. “It’s a hall thing.”

Bullet hole proves

to be a slight exaggeration
The Department of Public Safety reported that a bullet hole was discovered in a Walton Complex window on Monday, Jan. 29, at 2:52 p.m.
“We didn’t have information about the bullet hole,” Eyster said. “When we called DPS, they said it was caused by a BB gun or a rock thrown at the window.”
