University of South Alabama newspapers stolen

An investigation currently is underway at the University of South Alabama, located in Mobile, Ala., where 3,000 copies of its Vanguard student newspaper were stolen last week, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

Tim Beard, South Alabama's dean of students, told the Associated Press that the papers disappeared following campus wide distribution to students the Tuesday before last.

Jamie Sims, Vanguard editor-in-chief, told the Associated Press she believes it is no coincidence the papers stolen included criticism of the school's Student Government Association.

The paper questioned if paid cell phones and stipend increases for three SGA officers were a good use of student activity fees paid by all students.

Beard said officials are working to find the newspaper thieves.
