A recent intrusion into a Carrollton Hall room mirrors the April 1 intrusions of Buddig Hall.

In Carrollton Hall, furniture was overturned and a note was left in an unlocked room that stated, “You should learn to lock your door.”

The note was signed, “The Buddig Intruder.”

Since the Buddig intrusions, students have been encouraged to lock and protect their rooms.

Roommates Lia Tesfu, psychology freshman, and Gabriela Galeano, psychology pre-med freshman, live in Buddig Hall and took the incident as a learning experience.

Measures have been taken by ResLife to insure incidents like this do not occur in the future. ResLife promotes the safety of the residential halls by working closely with LUPD and advocating Silent Witness.

“I’d like to clarify that Residential Life has not ‘accused’ any student. We have responded to reports provided by the Loyola University Police Department that contained witness statements alleging that a Loyola student was identified as the intruder,” said Craig Beebe, director of Residential Life.

“Some people on my floor told me about the incident, and since then I have been locking my door before I go to sleep. Before, I didn’t,” Tesfu said.

“Although it is wise to lock your door at night, I felt safe enough to not do it,” Galeano said. “And now, I make it a priority to lock my door when I am asleep and not in my room.”
