Christopher Carroll, 27 , and Charles Buckner, 41, were charged with three counts of second-degree burglary, in ad­ dition to other charges of theft, conspiracy and filing false police reports, police spokesman Cpl. Gerald Bryda said. At the time of the incidents, Carroll was a resident in the apartment complex and Buckner was employed there as a maintenance man . Over a five-day period, the two allegedly used the apartment complex's master key to break into apartments and steal jewelry and other valuables, Bryda said. In an at­ tempt to cover their tracks, the pair allegedly reported false burglaries to the police. Buckner has since been terminate'ti from his position at the Pine Brook Apartments and Carroll has been removed from his residence, Bryda said.

"You can get the videos delivered to the house, and [then] either mail them back or drop them back off at the store," Bricker says. The store still has a following of regulars though, mostly college students and families. "We definitely see a lot of the same people coming in weekend after weekend," Bricker says. Sophomore Jessica Ruiz says she can't remember the last time she went into a video store. "It would probably be middle school or early high school," Ruiz says. "There used to be three or four video stores around my house, and now there is only one." Ruiz says she started using Netflix this September and loves it. "There are instant movies, which have been out for a while and are not so popular, and you can get those movies right away," she says. "Then, there are newer movies which are not instant, and you can get them shipped wherever you live within two days. Its really convenient." Ruiz says she and her roommate decided to subscribe to Netflix because both their families use Netflix at home. "One thing that's great is that not only does it have movies, but it also has TV shows, so we can get complete seasons of a show if we want to." Ruiz says she also watches movies on her computer with iTunes, which allows users to rent movies. Solan says studios have always wanted to digitize to get rid of video stores - it just took much longer to move into that direction. "The last technology hurdle to be achieved is to connect the computer to the TV," he says. "As long as there is a wall between that and the living room, video stores will still be around."

The things a critninal record can do to your future ought to be a critne

What's the value of a dean record? Employers, graduate schools, the military services, professional licensing boards, immigration authorities-- the gate keepers to a lot of the good stuff in life--look carefully at your record. Exactly how much a criminal record will affect your life, no one knows. What is known is that many students-­ because of stepped up efforts to control alcohol, occupancy of private residences, or noise-- will be arrested this year.

Most things for which you receive citations from the University or Newark police are reported as criminal arrests in national and State crime reporting. Convic­ tions of City ordinances are reported as criminal convictions. They are not like "parking tickets': And an arrest record will turn up in the future. On background searches for employment. In FAFSA applications. When you request a passport. Or want to do . military service. Or apply to graduate school. And an arrest can result in University discipline, up to and including expulsion. Even if you compJete PBJ successfully after an arrest, the arrest will still show on your record unless it is expunged. Scrutiny of criminal records for all these purposes has increased dramatically since September 11, 2001, as reported in the Wall Street Journal.

If you have been arrested in the past--or are arrested this year--don't panic. Maybe you were arrested in the past, and would like to talk about expunging your arrest Gfl«4u.«tion D«~ 2.010 record. Maybe you have charges pending now. You have the right to legal representation.
