FRIDAY NIGHT FORGETFULNESS
At 2:15am on 29 December, a female
youth entered the Campus Security office
looking for a ride home. The female was
very intoxicated and couldn’t remember
where she had been, what she had been
drinking, or where she lived. Further
checks revealed that the female had been
reported as missing from a group home.
She was subsequently returned to the
care of the Child Welfare Crisis Unit.

GET SOME NEW MATERIAL
On 31 December at 9:15am, a male was
reported to be acting suspiciously in
HUB Mall. CSS members attended and
found the male, who identified himself
under an alias. Officers recognized that
he had previously trespassed under that
alias and he was directed off campus.
Further investigation lead to the discovery of the male’s true identity as well as
several other aliases. The male had also
been previously trespassed from the U of
A under his true identity.
WITH FRIENDS LIKE that …
On 3 January at 1:30am, a vehicle was
observed by a CSS peace officer to be
driving suspiciously through campus. The
vehicle stopped, at which time the passenger ran from the vehicle. The driver
was stopped and discovered to be driving
without a license; the license plate on the
vehicle was also determined to be stolen.
The driver was then arrested, and the
passenger was found a short time later
and also arrested. The driver was issued

several traffic violation tickets, and both
he and the passenger were subsequently
turned over to the EPS for possession of
stolen property.
NOT-SO-HIDDEN FEES
On 4 January at 12:30am, a vehicle with
three male passengers was stopped by
5-0 officers for numerous traffic violations. The driver was identified and found
to have a conditional release for trafficking drugs with a condition not to be in
possession of any cell phones. An officer
observed the driver in possession of a cell
phone and contacted the EPS. The driver
was issued several traffic violation tickets
and turned over to the EPS, who charged
him with violation of his recognizance
conditions. The driver’s vehicle was towed
for not having insurance.
The FIRST RULE OF FIGHT CLUB IS STAY
OFF CAMPUS
At 5:45pm on 5 January, Campus
Security received a report that a male
was causing a disturbance in the HUB
transit station by trying to pick fights with
people as they walked by him. Both CSS
and ETS peace officers attended. The
male had been previously dealt with by
both agencies on several occasions and
was well known to officers. The male was
subsequently charged with being intoxicated in a public place.
S’NO ANGEL
At 12:10am on 6 January, campus security received a report of an extremely
intoxicated male who had passed out in
the snow after leaving Lister Hall. The
male, who wasn’t a resident of Lister, had
fallen in the snow wearing only jeans and
a T-shirt, and was unable to walk or talk.
Peace officers transported the male to
the U of A Hospital where he was treated
for alcohol poisoning.

CONCRETE CRUISERS A group of engineering students run an initial test of
their concrete sled on Saturday. Teams will be heading to Sherbrook, Quebec at
the end of month to compete in the Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race.
As you may be aware, a baby polar bear was recently born in Germany, replacing Knut, a former very
popular baby polar bear who has since grown into a much less popular adolescent polar bear.
What animal would you like to breed or genetically engineer into a

“I would turn a giant grizzly bear into a
baby bear so you could keep it as a pet.
Small enough to fit in your lap.”
“Tiny monkeys. Monkeys are cool. I’ve
always wanted a monkey. They’re like
miniature humans.”
“A hippopotamus because I want a
hippopotamus for Christmas.”
“I would say a giraffe.” [Isn’t the whole
point of a giraffe that it can reach really
high?] “They’re cute. Actually, they’re
not really that cute. I would say a tiger
because cats don’t have those stripes,
and I like those stripes.” [So you basically
want a striped housecat?] “Yeah, but
tiger-like. More fierce.”
