Strength in Reserve (and Periodicals too)

The following is a message from the University Police. While it doesn't directly relate to the Libraries, it is something the entire campus community should know about.

In the early morning hours of September 9th, there were two unprovoked
assaults of students near campus. Local media covered the two assaults
over the weekend. Yesterday, the University of Minnesota Police
Department received a report of a 3rd assault that took place on campus
near 16th Ave SE and University Ave that same night. There have been no
additional similar cases since the 9th. However, we believe it is
important that the campus community be made aware that these assaults
have taken place, especially with the weekend coming up and the
likelihood of students socializing off campus. This information is also
posted at the UMPD website, www.umn.edu/police and includes additional
safety advice.
