Cornell Dekes Urged to Avoid Ground Floor WindowsSomeone's got it out for the Cornell chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon, which goes by "Deke" to avoid confusion with a popular homophobic term. Their "Gray Stone Castle" at 13 South Avenue was first targeted July 30, according to the Cornell University Police crime log:

Criminal Mischief: Officer dispatched to take a report regarding an unknown individual(s) throwing a rock through a ground floor window. Value: $400.00"

Those Cornell P.D. flatfoots know a serial case when they see one. Those ground floor Dekes were about as safe as me and Nusca on the comment boards. It was only a matter of time before the perp would follow up. The hit came August 6, and this time with heavy artillery:

Criminal Mischief: Officer dispatched to take a report regarding an unknown individual(s) throwing a package of frozen chicken through a ground floor window. Value: $400.00

When I was in college it would take several days of starvation and malnourishment to get me inside the grocery store, so this would be awesome. The unknown individual will surely strike again, but now his Deke targets will be well fed. Fair trade.

Any of you other Ithacans know what this shit is about? Ivygate.guest@gmail.com wants to know. Thanks to our tipper for doing all of the work for this post.
