sentences... that are suspensive?

It was the third page of this week’s Free Press upon which was printed an article on a dorm break-in. The reporting of the intrusion, an incident occurring at the 12^th street dorms in which a girl found an unknown man in her shower, came a few weeks after I heard about it from a friend in the same dorm. Himself another possible victim of the lapse in security, his computer was stolen from his dorm room the same day. The amount of media coverage, national concern and attention, community shock, and call for greater security and awareness following the brutal on-campus murder of a beautiful Yale grad student makes the contrast of grapevine news and a third-page article relatively long after the event, which occurred within the same short school year, surprising. The casual attitude seemingly taken in response to a situation that could have turned out much worse, may reflect upon the school just as badly as if it had indeed turned out that way. The disconcerting and surprising juxtaposition of these two matters grows even greater when, it is very easily noticed, the school’s own security in protecting itself against its students has been increased in the past year, largely due to widespread unrest and discontent with officials and policies.
