A group of bandits ransacked a computer lab at Durham College during the holiday break and helped themselves to some computer equipment. Cleaning staff discovered the break-in on Dec. 19 in (lie college's L-wing in rooms LI 23 and L127. They reported it to college security that morning and alerted police. Sergeant Jim Grimley, media relations officer with Durham Regional Police, said the break and enter occurred early that morning and that the sus- pects broke in through the windows. "They grabbed some computer equipment and moved it out through tlie broken window," said Grimley. "Some damage was done to other equip- ment and desks as they tried to drag away comput- ers that were cliained together." The suspects managed to get away with a flatbed scanner, a Power Mac, two data projectors, and a projector cart. Police discovered some debris out- side tlie windows and it was found to be from a stolen vehicle. "We believe they used this stolen vehicle to carry off the equipment," Grimley said. Blood was also found on one of the computers, wliicli Grimley said he believes is from one of the suspects who was cut while breaking in.

E-mill: 10 THE CHRONICLE January 25, 2000 Inside the realm of S cientology

Dcrek Nnwrot

Scientology is a religious philoso- phy which helps an individual better understand himself, his family, and life. Critics say It is a destructive cult that holds power over people's lives. John Travolta, Tom Cruise, and other Hollywood personalities claim that it has given them the power to handle life's problems and helped them to successful careers. Others say It has swindled them into handing over large amounts of money, virtually sending them into bankruptcy. Whatever the belief, Scientology has become one of the most contro- versial and fastest growing religious movements in the world today. Scientologists are passionate about their religion and say it has the proven technology to help people think clearly, free their minds, and in various cases, cleanse themselves from such social plagues as drugs and alco- hol. Their critics are equally passionate. They include ex-scientologists who tell stories of the mind abuses they faced, the lies they believed, and all Photo by Dorok Nawrot the money that was so easily handed DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST SCIENTOLOGY: Demonstrators line Yonge Street In a protest against over to Scientology.
