A man entered at least three female dorm rooms in Mifflin Hall early Saturday morning. Tracey Andrews (junior-telecommunications), a resident of Mifflin Hall, was relieved she locked her door that night.

"We always knew that it could happen, that's why we locked our door," she said.

The incidents that occurred early Saturday morning left students thinking about how safe they are in their dorm rooms.

Lauren McFalls (sophomore-information sciences and technology) said that "piggybacking" is a problem in Mifflin Hall. She added that her feelings of security have been compromised by the weekend assaults.

"It makes me feel a little less safe, because it is my dorm," she said.

Penn State spokesman Steve MacCarthy, who was unaware of the assaults last night, said students should be aware of security issues in the dorms.

"We encourage people to take precautions in the residence halls," MacCarthy said. "We believe we have in place adequate measures for security in the residence halls.

"These kinds of incidents are unfortunate," MacCarthy added.

He stressed that students living in the dorms should lock their room doors.

According to McFalls, her daily routine won't differ as a result of the assaults. "We usually lock our doors, so probably much won't change," McFalls said.

Another resident of Mifflin Hall, who did not want to be identified, said what happened this weekend did not surprise her because of similar assaults that occurred last September in Snyder Hall.

"At the same time, it's very frightening knowing that you have to worry about those types of things," she said.

Andrews said other women on her floor felt fortunate they had not been victimized.

"They were glad they had their doors locked," she said.
