Sept. 7—5:40 p.m.

A small bottle of a chemical reagent has been missing from the Earth and Biological Sciences Building since last month, but was not reported to Campus Security until Oct. 3. The professor waited with hopes of it showing up, but after emailing all the students in the class to see if they knew anything about the bottle, which contained potassium dichromate, the bottle is still no where to be found. The chemical can be dangerous to health, and the case has been left open.

Sept. 24—3 p.m.

A fight broke out at a party between two international male students.

The Santa Barbara Police Department is still investigating the case.
