Three thousand copies of the Arkansas State University campus newspaper vanished from their boxes. Editor Dustin Faber suspects the theft was prompted by a story about underage drinking at a fraternity house.
The copies of The Herald amounting to nearly half of its 65-hundred paper run were taken from newspaper boxes across the Jonesboro campus Monday. Additional copies of the paper were printed and redistributed Tuesday.
Faber said the newspaper featured a story of a minor who suffered alcohol poisoning at the Sigma Chi fraternity on campus. University police said they had been called to investigate a possible alcohol poisoning and that medical treatment was sought for a 17-year-old girl after the January 14 party.

In 1997, members of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity admitted stealing newspapers and paid $700 to cover the cost of reprinting. The Herald had printed a story about an alleged rape in the Sigma Phi Epsilon house during a party the previous week.
