More robberies occurred at Stadium Walk than the incident mentioned in students' Oct. 19 Eagle Alert. There was one other reported burglary, according to Statesboro Police Department, and six to seven total, said Tiffany Anne Handy, 23, one victim of the Stadium Walk robberies. "My neighbors down there, they got robbed, three people I know up front and then a guy from poker I know that goes to Dos Primos a lot," said Handy "It was a lot of regulars and people that work at Don Corleonei that got robbed." Statesboro Police did not confirm how many total crimes occurred that night. "This case is still currently under investigation regarding Stadium Walk and we do plan to increase our extra patrols in not only that area, but also the other apartment complexes, of course, throughout the campus area," said Major Scott Brunson of the Statesboro Police Department. The Statesboro Police Department is responding well to the recent occurrences, said Handy. "The cops are making more of an effort.

BWf"*&*< Our View Student security needs improvement Last Wednesday morning, Georgia Southern University students received an Eagle Alert regarding a violent break-in that occurred at Stadium Walk apartment complex. According to an Eagle Alert, the apartment was raided after two men wearing ski masks and hoodies knocked down the door. Tiffany Anne Handy, 23, a resident of Stadium Walk said there was another break-in earlier that same day a few doors down. According to Handy, Statesboro police came 30 minutes after the break-in occurred. This break-in, along with many other violent crimes that occur in Statesboro, affect the safety and security of GSU students. The late response of the Statesboro Police Department brings awareness to another issue. The GSU police and the Statesboro Police Department should work together to provide accurate safety and appropriate responsiveness to events that concern students. GSU police monitoring is presently placed heavily on-campus and in university housing areas. Large scale, small feel lost The flaw in that system is that the students who Georgia Southern University until after class and fight through the live off campus do not get the same level of security has seen a significant increase in sea of other inquiring students. that students living on campus receive.
