Canoeing Anyone?

Campus Safety employs a number of vehicles to transport officers and members of the College community: cars, vans, bikes, and soon a trolley.

But we were surprised to see what appeared to be yet another mode parked outside the Safety office: a canoe.

No, it's not for navigating the Hans Groot's Kill, assures Sgt. Robert Tomeck.

It turns out the boat is awaiting its owner.

After the deluge from Hurricane Floyd several weeks ago, the red canoe appeared at the base of the berm southeast of Frank Bailey Field.

From the looks of it, Tomeck says, persons unknown apparently stole the canoe from a nearby home and were using it as a sort of toboggan to slide down the muddy hill.

No worse for wear, the boat sits chained to the west side of the Facilities Services building.

If you know the boat or its owner, call Campus Safety at ext. 6358.
