Criminal Offenses at LSC
Each year, Public Safety provides a report to raise awareness of crimes on and around campus.
The categories are as follows: Murder/Non-negligent manslaughter, negligent manslaughter, forceable and non-forceable sex offenses, robbery, aggrivated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft and arson.
Last year in 2008, out of these categories, there were two forcible sex offenses on campus. These offemses occured in the residence halls. None of the listed offenses took place on public property, or were reported to have manifested evidence of prejudice based on race, gender,religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity/national origin or disability. 62 people guilty of violating drug laws were referred to disciplinary action. One was arrested. 128 students were referred to disciplinary action for violation of liquor laws. Three were arrested.
Considering it is only halfway through the semester, and two sexual assaults have already taken place this year, 2009 is not looking good in some categories. This information is available to the public through Public Safety's homepape: http://www.lyndonstate.edu/AboutLyndon/PublicSafety/tabid/172/Default.aspx. A daily log is also kept and available upon request.

Public Safety as an Escort Service?
If you haven't heard, Lyndon State College also doubles as a college escort service.
Now, before you start to get too excited, let me explain. Public Safety, the department headed by George Hacking, is mostly known for partoling campus, confiscating drugs and alcohol, and recovering lost cell phones, books, and keys. But for those of you who didn't know, Public Safety can also double as an escort service to students.
With all the recent robberies, and numerous thefts in the area, some students may feel unsafe walking in the dark around campus after many of us have already left the college. This is a legitimate reason to request an escort, and Public Safety would be glad to accomodate students.
Another recent service LSC is offering is the Lyndon State Emergency Alert. This is a notification to students, facutly and parents via PDA's, emails, or cell phones. People seeking these alerts can sign up on the following website: http://www.lyndonstate.edu/Alert/ or call Public Safety at 802-626-6452.

Excuses Excuses Excuses
Excuses Excuses Excuses
By Moriah Pratt and Tara Parenteau
‘My dog ate my homework’ just didn’t make the list.
College students have very difficult lives trying to balance academics and their social schedules while being away from home. The social lives of students sometimes interfere with the academic lives and require some sort of explanation or excuse. While most of these excuses at least sound legitimate, some are just plain lame.
The general excuses are being sick, or over sleeping, which are very common things for students in college.
“I had to miss two days of classes because I had tonsillitis,” said Miranda Machia, sophomore education major. “It was mostly because of my field experience class, they didn’t want me around the younger kids while I was so sick.”
Of course there are more difficult situations that make students miss class as well. Machia also missed classes because her father was in the hospital. Katie Whitney, sophomore nursing major, had to return home because her dog had died.
"His best friends unlce died, and he had to be there for his friend," said Professor David Buck Beliles on a former student. Professor John Deleo once had a student miss class because their mother was having a baby.
Living in Vermont can also cause a lot of excuses for students who drive. Winter in Vermont can be very dangerous and create many road hazards. Commuters and students who choose to go home on the weekends can get caught up in storms or are snowed in. Professor Pauline Dwyer once had a student claim their car broke down, which sounds legit for a commuter, but not when this particular student lived on campus.
“I missed class because my car hit a patch of ice on the highway and I slid into the median,” said Tom Guidoboni, a sophomore here at Lyndon State. Professor Charlotte Albright on the other hand, had a very committed student. Albright said she had a former student come to class late even after being in an accident. And for those of you planning on using the old, "My alarm clock didn't go off," to Albright, she will simply smile and say, "It doesn't set itself."
With all of today’s technology, homework is becoming more and more computer based. While this is more convenient, it leaves more room for errors. Many students are unlucky and end up with computer malfunctions ranging from emails not sending to hard drive crashes.
