- In September, over 1,000 issues of the Western Courier were stolen after a controversial SGA story was headlined. This past Friday, it happened again.
"They weren't at the Union at any of the racks, they weren't at the library, and I believe some of the residence halls they were taken from," said Garrick Hodge, Western Courier Managing Editor.
Staff at the Courier reported the incident to police to try to prevent this from happening again.
"I don't think that most people know that stealing the Courier is a theft," said Hodge. "It says on Page Two of our News section 'one copy per student.' We made sure to put that in there."
Although no one was caught for the September theft, this case had a different outcome. On Sunday, an individual went into OPS and turned themselves in.
"Someone came into our office and admitted that they were the ones who had done that," said Tom Clark, OPS Lieutenant.

- About a month ago, members of the new fraternity Pi Kappa Phi set out to find a location for their fraternity house and 901 West Carroll Street stood out. However, many concerns have been raised by neighbors, including noise and parking.

Pi Kappa Phi has been on campus for four months now. President Michael Quigley says their motto is being 'men of class.'
"We pride ourselves on trying to be the different fraternity on campus," said Quigley.

- The state of Illinois has seen a drop in college enrollment. What's the cause of the thousands of people choosing not to go to university? And how is WIU combating the issue? NEWS3's Dana Fulton has the official numbers.
You may think campus is a little less crowded this semester, and that's because- it is.
Western Illinois University has seen a drop in enrollment over the last few years, and it's hard to pin point exactly why.
"If you look back over time, they do increase and decrease. You know, there's ups and downs and sometimes it's hard to answer those questions as to why," says Rhonda Kline, Director of Institutional Research.
While everyone is looking for a specific reason, the numbers are pretty clear. WIU's full time enrollment dropped 9.7% from 2005 to 2012. But they aren't alone. Eastern Illinois University and northern Illinois University saw a decline in students, also. But SIUC's percentage was the highest, at 11.74%.

The pope officially resigned at 1 pm earlier today, or 8 pm Rome time. Although the announcement was a surprise to some, others say they saw it coming.
