UOPD releases sketch of campus office burglary suspect

A witness description has helped the University of Oregon Police Department create a sketch of a potential suspect in a string of burglaries in campus offices.

One or more thieves have broken into faculty and staff offices in Gerlinger, Lawrence, Anstett and Willamette halls, using a tool to pry open office doors and steal computers and other electronics. Ten similar incidents were reported between April 26 and May 23, usually occurring between 6 p.m. and midnight.

Student ad wins national competition

Everybody has met that couple: The one who spends and the one who stresses out about the spending.

SOJC advertising student Dan Drullinger tapped into that collective consciousness to win the Allstate Life Tracks Ad Competition. His team's ad “Honey Look What I Got” portrays the relationship dynamic between an over-spender and his slightly concerned fiancé.

The ad was released nationally across multiple online platforms in May.

Department of Parking and Transportation … on the move

The Department of Parking and Transportation is, well, moving.

That’s not surprising, perhaps, given the nature of the department. But the department is also actually moving, to a new location on the east side of campus.

In an effort to better serve customers, the department is moving to 1401 Walnut St., at an EMX stop across from Dutch Bros. Coffee on Franklin Boulevard and directly accessible to bike paths.

Dotters-Katz “back for seconds” as ASUO president

Sam Dotters-Katz — a student in the UO School of Law — on May 25 began his second term as president for the Associated Students of the University of Oregon.

In 2008, during his junior year as an undergraduate political science and history major, Dotters-Katz was elected to the highest student position at the university for the first time. A friend's suggestion that they partner as running mates spurred his first run for the ASUO presidency; however, this year was a different story.
