Campus Security Log

Yeah, we know... they kicked you and your butt back into the designated smoking area, and gave you a ticket for parking in the bushes. But that’s not all the campus cops do.

Indecent exposure

Witnesses called Campus Security Sept. 30 with reports of a man exposing himself on North 160th Street and Greenwood Avenue North. The man was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, and stood on the corner exposing himself to students on their way to school. When Security arrived the man had already fled the scene.
