Chauncey’s vandalized, robbed

Late last Thursday night or very early Friday morning, Chauncey’s, Rose’s recently renovated and high-tech recreation room for students, was vandalized. The change machine was broken and the change from inside stolen. The vandals also stole components of the theater system and big screen television.

“The thefts were discovered on Friday morning,” said Carey Treager Huber, Director of Student Activities. “As soon as the damage and thefts were discovered campus security was contacted.”

Chauncey’s has re-opened since the incident, offering many of the same services that it did prior to the theft. “The four smaller televisions are working. Also, the game room and movie rental are still available for use. We hope to fix the damage and have everything working again by the time the students return from holiday break,” said Huber. The big screen television and change machine are currently out of service.

Students and staff are encouraged to help the investigation. “If any students observed anything that seemed suspicious or out of place, near the Student Union on Thursday evening, please contact the Student Affairs Office,” said Huber.
