Oregon Commentator has 600 copies stolen
The Oregon Commentator, a conservative journal of opinion on campus, has been a victim of theft during the past few weeks.
More than 600 copies of the March 10 issue were stolen from distribution locations near the University Bookstore and the Knight Library since the beginning of spring break.
Commentator editor in chief Timothy Dreier said theft of the magazine happens “with astounding regularity.”
“It usually happens when we print something the left might find offensive,” Dreier said. “They think they’re striking one for the revolution.”
He said that if someone is offended by the publication’s content, that person shouldn’t read it.
“It’s just frustrating to have this from a bunch of people that claim to be open-minded,” he said.
Dreier doesn’t anticipate ordering any more copies of the March 10 issue.
