The distributor, said, "When
I went to Long Student Center, 1
had the papers bound. Then, this
guy walked in and said he needed
to take two stacks to Alamance,
but to keep them bound. I
assumed that he worked for The
Pendulum, so I grabbed some
unbound papers and left."
Meanwhile, Glenn stayed
there. "I just thought he was
another person hanging around,"
Glenn said. "Long Student Center
is always full of people coming
and going."
While no suspects have been
identified in the case, according to
the Oct. 4 article in the Times-
News, two or three young men
were spotted at Long Student
Center later that afternoon. Also,
a small gray car was seen at the
Fine Arts Center during this time
and it could have been used to
carry the papers away.
A preliminary police report
was filed with the Elon College
Police Department at
approximately 7 p.m. Thursday
night and the final police report
was completed Monday Oct. 7.
As for the value of the stolen
papers, in the Oct. 4 Times-News
article, Deborah Durkee, editor of
The Pendulum, estimates the loss
to be at least $500.
With details still sketchy.
The Pendulum is taking
precautions to keep this from
recurring. The paper is currently
looking at ways to change
distribution practices.
Although the theft has been
controversial, Deborah Durkee
believes that, "This is going to
make people want to read the
paper more." However, the
disappoinunent prevails.
The people who work for
The Pendulum dedicate
themselves and their time to
making the paper successful. This
was especially disappointing
because the Oct. 3 issue was the
first 16-page edition.
Glenn summarized it best
when he said, "The composition
of the paper is a team effort and
it's very discouraging because we
were all proud of it. At least I
know I was."

Ingle called The Pendulum
Sept. 27, the day after Herlihy's
story appeared and said he was
"nrioved by (Herlihy's) story."
Ingle raised $2,000 through
the Alamance County Law
Enforcement Officers’ Association
and the local chapter of Drug
Abuse Resistance Education,
according to the Times-News.
Herlihy decided she had lost
too much time to be able to get
the A's and B's she wanted, so she
declined the offer to return for the
fall, she said.
When The Pendulum spoke
to Herlihy on Wednesday
morning, she was not ready to
make a statement.
"I wanted to hear whether I
could use the money for spring,"
she said.
According to the Times-
News, Burlington patrolman
Steve Foust of the Law
Enforcement Officers' Association
said the offer is still good for the
spring.
Joel Speckhard, director of
financial planning at Elon, said he
had also been waiting to hear if
the money would be offered for
spring.
"If (Herlihy) decided to come
back in the winter, instead of our
normal way of tying winter (fees)
to fall term, we would tie it to
spring," Speckhard said.
Speckhard phoned Herlihy
once he verified that the offer of
funds is still good for the spring
semester.
"I wished things could have
happened sooner so I could have
made it back for the fall semester,"
Herlihy said.
Herlihy's emotions have been
in a turmoil and she isn't sure how
she feels about things right now,
she said.
"It been a lot to deal with,"
Herlihy said.

to avoid driving after they have
been drinking.
"A lot of the officers have
noticed occasions where groups of
students are together and they have
a designated driver to make sure
that they all arrive home safely,"
Ingle said. "I think that students
are really becoming aware of the
dangers involved in drunk driving
and they are really being
responsible, which is
commendable."
"Next week is Alcohol
Awareness Week and one of the
issues which will be covered in
the week’s events is drunk driving.
We will have Assistant District
Attorney Bob Martin at Elon to
speak on the subject and at college
coffee we will have a booth
displaying safe break kits,"
Patterson said.
"Alcohol-related accidents are
statistically the number one cause
of death for college students,"
Patterson said. "The college is
aware of students who are arrested
for driving while impaired. All
students who are arrested are called
into our office and we look to see
if there is a problem or an
addiction. We will focus on the
issue during alcohol awareness
week. We are trying to continue
decreasing the numbers."
