NEW FRASER GOES UP AND UP AND UP—With the completion of each floor, new Fraser grows to its full height. A giant crane, lifting wood forms for the structural columns, each week reaches high above the campus skyline to finish the eight-floor building. Fraser Hall will probably be ready for student use late in the fall semester of 1966.
Syracuse coeds use any weapon against attackers
Syracuse University coeds are walking in pairs and bearing such arms as open pen-knives and hatpins in light of a recent wave of attacks upon women in the university area.
"I don't smoke," one coed said, "but I'm carrying a lighted cigarette to burn anybody who comes near me. And if that doesn't work, I've got a steak knife in my coat pocket."
One 19-year-old coed told police she was walking to her dormitory about 6 p.m. one night last week when she was grabbed and raped by a youth carrying a knife. Within 24 hours, another coed reported a similar attack.
More attacks upon women were conducted within the week, thus convincing all women in the university area that carrying such weapons as letter openers and safety pins might not be a bad idea.
In light of the situation, the University has announced what it is doing about the situation. Six officers were added to the campus police force during the week. An experienced dog handler and police dog will be added to the security patrol, and an anti-trespassing campaign will be carried out in cooperation with city police. Any person found on university property who is unable to account for his presence will be arrested.
Even though Syracuse city police are holding a suspect in the case, Syracuse coeds are taking no chances that such attacks could happen again.
"I'm afraid to ask a girl for a date," one lad was overheard saying. "I'm afraid to go near some of them."
