Newspaper theft deprives students, staff of August edition

More than 500 copies of the Campus Communicator's August edition have been stolen from newsracks on Craven's New Bern and Havelock campuses.

William and I have filed joint reports with Campus Security and I have spoken to the college's executive vice president and vice president for student affairs about confronting the suspect.

While I ask that posters refrain from naming names on this blog, suffice it to say that we are reasonably certain of the identity of the individual who thoughtlessly pilfered hundreds of dollars in newspapers -- which represent countless hours of effort on the part of our excellent, all-volunteer student staff.

Make no mistake, theft of a free distribution newspaper is a crime. And we will prosecute it to the fullest extent of the law.

This college, its students and staff and the hardworking students who produce the Commie deserve nothing less.
