Everyone is throwing back their product to yester year styles. Starter, Reebok, Nike, JC Penny, I mean I dare you to find a top merchandiser that's not. We have hats and jerseys with color patterns that haven't seen the light of day since before Rony Seikaly could even palm a basketball. I mean I got my Denver Nuggets rainbow jersey on right now. So I was thinking, if all these cool companies are doing this, why can't the Security Briefs? There is nothing wrong with a little retro action every now and then. Good movie by the way. So, I thought this was the perfect idea after the security office stood me up for the interview this week. So without any further ado, here are the security briefs of this week in 1999.- Dan Roy
9/14 - An "Upper" Townhouse resident called security officers for her collapsed roommate at 2:30 p.m. The female student had regained consciousness before an ambulance arrived, but she was transported to St. Francis Hospital as a precaution anyway.
9/15 - A Marist worker loosened a tooth with his wrench when it slipped off a damaged boiler he was repairing in Gartland E block at 8 a.m. He reported the incident at 3 p.m. and refused medical attention. The wrench suffered no injuries.
9/15-9/17 - Gartland Commons' F block has taken the lead on Fairview Fire Department's frequent caller list, setting off two alarms this week, Sept. 15 and 17 respectively, including one burning French toast and one smoking cigarettes. Gartland E block did have one mishap: a student ignited a plastic container while cooking on the range top. Townhouses' A block also kept Fairview bust on Thursday, Sept. 16, turning on a burner under a plastic tray and setting off the alarm.
9/16 - Tropical Storm Floyd toyed with Marist College, tearing down limbs from trees, clogging overworked water drains, and pushing sewage levels dangerously close to eruption. Luckily, Marist's physical plant and the city of Poughkeepsie's water treatment workers filled tanker trucks with rising waste while a mechanic repaired a damage pump and restored order to a potentially messy situation.
