Dear flag stealer: 'fess up!
Staff Editorial
Issue date: 11/21/08 Section: Opinion
Last Thursday, Nov. 13, the Baker Institute staff arrived in the morning to find that 22 international flags had been stolen
from the Centennial Campaign tent (see story, page 10). The flags, which were meant to be decorations for Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice's speech later that afternoon, have still not been recovered.
We strongly encourage anyone with any information to contact RUPD so the university can reclaim the flags as quickly as possible. If those involved are indeed associated with the university, we hope they keep in mind that a crime of this nature, even if it started out as a jack, has now crossed the line from harmless to uncalled for. To make restitution to the university, the culprits should at the very least return the items, even if it is anonymously.
