Big screen, big cost

Blurb: Unknown vandals damage the big screen TV that hangs on the wall in the twilight theatre lobby beyond repair.

Body:
The television that hangs in the twilight theatre was vandalized at some point between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. on January 18.

The television looks as if it was stabbed with a sharp object or even punched. THe monitor is currently turned off with a large sign on it describing what happened.

This vandalism will cost the school $3,000 to replace, even though the TV was originally partially funded by gifts from private donors. The school does have an insurance policy for events such as this, but the TV is not covered because it is under $5,000.

This event has triggered debate across campus about more security and possibly the installation of cameras. The public safety office has also been short handed recently dude to the deployment of public safety officer Charle Forrest.

Public safety asks that anyone with information contact them at 802-626-6452.
