Police make another revelry-related arrest

Purdue Police have made a new arrest from the campus disturbances on April 1, while the University has expelled another and suspended a third.

The action is being taken as police and members of the Office of the Dean of Students conduct investigations. The action stems from activity on and near campus that followed the women's national championship game on April 1.

Joshua Neeley, 20, of 705 E. Walnut St. in Chalmers, Ind., was charged with two counts of theft and one count of criminal mischief, all Class D felonies, one count of criminal recklessness, a Class B misdemeanor, and one count of rioting, a Class A misdemeanor.

This marks the first new charge since six people were charged the night of the campus disturbances.

Parking system to change

University to create separate "C" permits, increase violation fees

Students with "C" parking permits may have an easier time finding a spot next semester under the University revised parking permit system.

Effective Aug. 1 there will be two types of "C" permits - the Garage "C" permit and the "C" Surface permit. The garage permit will be garage-specific and will cost $72, the same as an "A" permit.

Mike Jasper, parking facilities manager, said students who purchase the Garage "C" permit will have to choose what garage they will park in for the year, and then only park in that garage - the permits are not good elsewhere.

Proposed ordinance to raise rental housing inspection fees

Brad Windler

The West Lafayette City Council will hold committee hearings to acknowledge public input for an ordinance that would raise fees for inspections in rental homes.

Landlords are now required to pay a fee every two years for inspections of their rental properties throughout West Lafayette. With the proposed ordinance, landlords would be required to pay a higher fee, every year. The increase in rental inspection fee costs poses the threat that rent could rise for students when landlords pass the costs on to them.
