WU police arrest robbery suspect
After investigating the alleged Jan. 17 burglary of House #4 on Fraternity Row, police apprehended a suspect, 46-year-old Kevin Bradley of Ferguson, Mo., in north St. Louis County on Wednesday. A warrant had been issued charging Bradley with burglary, and his bond has now been set at $50,000. Police believe Bradley entered the house before midnight, although nothing was reported as stolen and nobody in the house said they were injured. WUPD Police Chief Don Strom said that a witness at the scene provided an “excellent” description of Bradley which was “extremely helpful” in identifying the suspect.
Hatchet sales increase 21 percent
The Hatchet, WU’s yearbook, has seen a record number of sales for the 2003 edition, with the number of pre-orders already 21 percent higher than the total number of books sold last year. In an effort to increase sales, the Hatchet launched its first large-scale publicity campaign, attempting to redefine the yearbook’s place in the WU community. In addition to highlighting its strengths, the Hatchet staff has also made an effort to publicize the fact that students can order the yearbook via their student account. While this is not new, many students were previously unaware of this option. This year’s theme is “one,” which yearbook editors believe will represent each student’s contribution to the university community as a whole. Yearbook orders will continue to be accepted through the end of the academic year at the Hatchet Web site. Copies will be available in May.
