Brandeis warns students of dorm intruder

WALTHAM --Brandeis University students are on alert this week after a schoolwide e-mail warned of a series of dorm-room invasions over the weekend, according to broadcast reports.

WBZ Radio reported that the e-mail warned of a white male intruder who broke into dorm rooms Saturday night, touched four students while they slept, and punched a student.

A story in the student newspaper, The Justice, reported that police presence was heightened on campus after the attacks, and that school officials had called a meeting to encourage students to be cautious and lock their doors.
