A university laptop, credit card and petty cash were stolen from an office on the 6th floor of Col- lege Hall when the suspect al- legedly pried open the door with a flat-tipped tool, according to Chief of Duquesne Police and Di- rector of Public Safety Thomas Hart. The stolen university credit card was used to make purchases at a local Walmart. The victim in this crime is not any one individual, but rather “the university community,” ac- cording to Hart.

There is so much to discuss about fall, but its best aspect is truly the fashion. Fall fashion in 2020 is different from fall styles before; it combines vintage and sophisticated all while staying comfortable and warm. A Fall fashion is the perfect compromise between looking stylish and staying comfortable. There are five staples to this season’s styles that will keep ev- eryone looking and feeling their best: layering, oversized fitting clothes, colors, patterns and sweatpants. Fall fashion places a heavy emphasis on layering. Layering is essential to fall because the weather can shift between windy and sunny to cold and cloudy. Having layers to take on and off throughout the day ensures a regulated temperature. “As the weather gets chillier, I tend to grab anything from a fleece pullover to an oversized sweater to layer on top of my outfit for the day,” said Lucy Barber, a freshman occupational therapy major.
