The windows in Resident Director Andrew Mc/fray's 1990 Honda Civic were smashed by vandals . in the early morning hows of Sun. Nov. 11. Damage to the car was estimated at over $1000. by Jennifer Morrison
Vandals damaged a 1990 Honda Civic owned by Andrew Mcilroy, resident director, sometime in the early morning hours of Sun., Nov. 1I. The damage, estimated at over $1,000, was discovered by Cabrini security officers at 6:41 a.m. and reported to the Radnor Township Police Department. Mcllroy's car had been parked in the library parking lot. According to a Radnor police • incident report, Mcllroy's wind-
shield, rear window and two left side windows were smashed and there was a dent in the hood, which was caused by a rock. Mcilroy added that the trunk and side panel were dented and the tail light was broken. Cathy Caulfield, director of resident life, said that there were suspects and the situation is under investigation. · The incident angered and upset Mcilroy. "It makes me feel sick," Mcilroy said. "I find it sad that people have to act out in such a
childish way." According to resident life officials this isn't the first time that vandalism and harassment have happened to staff members. Mcilroy has been physically assaulted, verbally harassed several times and in one instance had a note left on his desk in the admissions office that said, "We don't like you."

Currently, the school is recycling aluminum, cardboard and highgrade office paper. However, to date there are no facilities to recycle lower grade paper, among which the chief type is newsprint. Dan Malloy, engineer for Radnor township and director of recycling, said that the township recycles aluminum, tin, glass, two types of plastic, and low as well as high grade paper. Malloy said \..
that the township had been collecting newspapers at the municipal building until someone had set fire to them. However, the township still picks up nearly 40 tons of paper a week from residences. The problem, according to Malloy, is that the market for low grade paper, especially newspapers, has been glutted on the east and west coasts. '' At one point we were being piiid $25 a ton. Now with the market, we're paying $15 a ton to have the papers
