Dear Editors,

I've read the recently published article, "Wave of Thefts Sweeps Campus" and I think it's unfortunate that YU students lost their belongings after leaving their dorm rooms for only two weeks. It should be the case that the YU security is responsible for the loss or damages of the articles of the students. Even some of the staff of the security office itself may be responsible for the theft. I did not expect this to happen at a university, especially a good one. Further measures should definitely be taken to search the guards for the belongings or to tighten security during the vacations. However, if this cannot be done than the students should be told at the beginning of the semester that no personal belongings, such as money, labtops, computers, watches, jewelry, etc should be left in the room. I hope that YU security department changes its policies.
