The last weekend of regular classes was a quiet one, with University Police reporting only a series of minor crimes. University Police Sergeant Thomas Messner said a student reported the theft of $80 to $90 from a jacket pocket at the Hall of Flags in Houston Hall at about 7 p.m. Saturday. The student told police his jacket was draped over the back of his chair. Someone bumped into it, he said, and walked away. The student said he immediately checked his pocket and found the money was gone. Messner said some offices in Meyerson Hall were broken into early Friday morning. He said desks were opened and some items stolen. He also said police received report of a purse-snatching at 10:45 p.m. Thursday night at 37th and Spruce streets. Two cars were reported stolen from University parking lots and the rear window of another car was smashed in when a bottle was apparently tossed onto it from High Rise South.
