Last year "we removed about 30 people from residence halls, and the majority was for vandalism," she added. This year,"if anyone is involved in vandalism they will be removed from the hall and possibly the university, Forrest said. She explained there would be less warnings given, especially for blatant acts of vandalism. "1 think the basic issue is students not taking nonnnaiKIlU..

FORREST SAID she believes the answer is "student responsibility." The student who witnesses or knows of an incident could either "confront" the vandal about paying for the damage or "report him." "Any student can turn another student in," for vanaaiism, rorrest added. "We need to look at vandalism as a crime, like theft."
