CAMPUS BRIEFS: Thursday, November 13, 1997

Missing pages derail Econ 1 midterms Roughly 200 students from Felli's class streamed into the Chemistry Building Auditorium at 6 p.m. prepared to take the one-hour exam. But testing was disrupted when teaching assistants realized that about one-fourth of the three-page exams were missing their first and second pages. "We had to wait for 30 minutes while the TAs searched for more exams," College freshman Biju Mathew said. "The students who had the full exam began to answer questions with their books open." After failing to find more exams, the TAs said all students would have to return to take the make-up scheduled for November 20. --ESari Post Officer hurt in assault will undergo operation One of the University Police officers injured in the string of bloody assaults near the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house October 30 will undergo surgery to repair his nose, police said yesterday. During the operation, doctors will place pins in the bone under Officer Martin Turofski's nose and attempt to repair nasal cartilage. Turofski was sent to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania after being knocked unconscious near 36th and Walnut streets. Harvard University alumnus Warnell Owens, 26, is charged with that beating and the assaults on three other officers. Turofski suffered two black eyes, internal tissue damage to his nose and multiple contusions and lacerations during the assault, the most serious injuries of the night. Police arrested Owens at the scene and have since charged him with four counts of aggravated assault. He will face a preliminary hearing within the next month. -- Ian Rosenblum Penn police arrest two armed robbery suspects University Police arrested two men at 40th and Spruce streets Tuesday night after they allegedly committed two robberies at gunpoint. Police stopped the car driven by Darnell Washington of the 700 block of South Franklin Street and Carlos Martinez of the 3800 block of Reno Street after noticing that their green, four-door Chevrolet matched the description of a car known to have been used in two robberies. When police approached the car, they saw the silver handle of a revolver in the driver-side armrest, and arrested the two men after they matched the descriptions of suspects in earlier armed robberies, University Police Detective Commander Tom King said. Neither robbery involved University students, but both occurred relatively close to campus -- the first on Drexel University's campus at 300 N. 31st Street and the second at 44th and Locust streets. The two men will be charged with two counts of robbery and related offenses, according to King -- Ian Rosenblum
