Chuck Wernick of the Evanston Police Department. As of Thursday, police said they had not made any arrests. The victim was not injured and the backpack contained three textbooks, Wernick said. When told of the incident Thursday, students said that any occurrence of on-campus crime brings them an unsettling dose of reality. Weinberg junior Nikki Drey said most students aren't too worried about going from one place to another at night.
Crime is everywhere, even on our college campus.
Drey said she tries to avoid walking alone at night but takes logical precautions when she does. And I never carry much money on me. So if they rob me, the joke's on them. Weinberg sophomore Aimee Mayuga, who takes tae kwon do classes in Patten Gym at night, also takes measures to protect herself when she walks alone after dark. If Mayuga can't find someone to walk her back to her South Campus dorm after classes, she said she tries to walk near someone else, even if she doesn't know them.
