Disturbing the Peace

Please [don’t] knock. On Oct. 21 at 4:50 p.m., a student living in Poyda Hall reported to Public Safety that students in his hall were disturbing him. The student said that for over a month, the students had been knocking on his door at all hours and sliding inappropriate notes into his room.
