Most copies of Chapman newspaper disappear
About 2,000 copies -- virtually the entire press run -- of Chapman University’s student newspaper, the Panther, were stolen from racks around the campus, authorities said Thursday.
“This act served to deprive the campus community of the right to read the weekly newspaper that students pay for and the ... newspaper staff work[s] very hard to produce,” Joseph Kertes, the university’s vice president and dean of students, said in a written statement.
The theft, which occurred early Tuesday, is under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Kertes, at (714) 997-6721, or the campus Department of Public Safety, (714) 997-6763.
