This led to Saint Xavier University to cancel the evening classes at that were scheduled for that day and the University closed its doors for nonessential personnel at 4:30 p.m. that day. The decision to cancel the evening sessions of classes came from the University's provost Dr. Dominick Hart. According to Hart, the decision to cancel came from his office and not the president's office, as it is customary for the provost of the university to make that decision due to its affects on academic affairs. Hart described the process involved in canceling classes by saying, "for the evening classes, what I do is talk to Assistant Vice President for Facilities Management Paul Matthews. I contacted [him] to get information on what the conditions were (as Dr. Hart was off campus that day) and checked the weather reports." The remnants of the storm Hart continued to say "We had to cancel classes by 2 p.m. to get enough of a word out to (ensure all students were notified.] Looking at these factors, we determined it was best to cancel classes." Dr. Hart also mentioned that day classes were not cancelled because it looked like the weather would hold off. Dr. Hart described the situation concerning professors personally canceling classes on the Tuesday and Wednesday of the storm. "On a day like the one we were experiencing, students and faculty need to exercise good judgment. We have a formal process that professors have to cancel classes... We encourage all professors to have a listserv of their classes." In regards to the storm, Dr. Hart wanted to address the students. "We are sorry if some of the students did not receive the news. Our first duty is not to put people at risk and with the driving conditions that, that was the case. With the weather like that, you cannot be certain the sun is going to come up later and that it would be fine." The Xavierite will have more on the last week's weather problems in next week's issue. SXU CAMPUS TAGGED BY GRAFFITI By Nicholas Kerr News Editor On Jan.27 at 10 a.m. Public Safety received reports of what SXU Police Chief Paul Kolessar described as an "infrequent" incident of vandalism on the Chicago campus. According to Kolessar, the word "herb" was written out on the third floor ceiling of the Regina Hall and the word "sonic" was written on a women's restroom sign as well as the sign for Parking Lot 5. Also the letters CTH were discovered on a "no parking" marker. Kolessar has ruled out the possibility of the situation being gang related stating, "I spent ten years as a police officer in the public housing developments here in Chicago. One thing I can assure you is that none of what we had was even remotely related to any known criminal street gang." Kolessar also described the investigation by saying," We have a lot of feelers out, but nothing postive has comeback. Students who want to report anything can do it anonymously by calling (773) 298-3838." He also mentioned that the penalties faced for graffiti could range from action by the Dean of Students office to criminal action. According to faclities management it cost the university $560 to remove the graffiti. According to Dean of Students Candice Passi, a similar incident could be prevented by a "general awareness" on campus. She said, "We sent out an e- mail to residents and through SXU Today to assure that we take pride in the campus." Public notification of the incident was posted on SXU Today 11 days after the incident was first reported. The A vandalized parking sign SXU Today report, written by Facilities Management, Public Safety and Student Life, stated, "We all take pride in our campus and buildings, and to this end, Facilities Management is working hard to eradicate these markings in order to preserve the beauty of our campus. The Dean of Students Office is working closely with Residence Life and the Department of Public Safety to identify those individuals responsible for these actions so that they can face disciplinary charges." Passi stated that the main reason for the delay from the reporting of incident to notifying the student body came from coordinating the message with her office, facilities management and public safety. Passi also stated, "I would like to encourage any student with knowledge about the incident to let us know. If you feel uncomfortable you can call the hotline. We need to take pride in our beautiful campus."
