Class President With Sticky Fingers

Quite the busy young lady.

Rutgers police said yesterday it reopened a year's worth of unsolved dorm-room thefts after the 2007 class president - who is also the university beauty-pageant queen - and her boyfriend were charged with a string of campus burglaries.

The alleged class-klepto Christa Olandria - president of Rutgers' Livingston College Class of 2007 and reigning Ms. R.U. pageant winner - stood as a lookout while her boyfriend gained access to dorm rooms with a universal key she provided, police said.

"We are re-evaluating and going back and checking past burglaries and other incidents," said Rutgers University security officer Sean Skala. "We have seven prior incidents since September 2006."

Both Olandria, who worked as a dormitory resident assistant and had a universal key, and boyfriend George Calhoun of Jamaica, Queens, face burglary, theft and criminal-attempt charges. Olandria and Calhoun, both 23, are free on $2,500 bail.

Their collegiate capers came to an end Monday, when Calhoun was allegedly caught red-handed. A student returned to his locked room and found Calhoun inside stuffing the student's laptop computer, digital camera and wallet into a duffel bag, police said.

Neither student will be participating in the May 17 graduation at the Piscataway campus, according to university police.

"I'm not going to discuss this," said a woman who answered the phone at Olandria's family home in Rahway, N.J.

After the traumatic, earthshaking events surrounding Don Imus, one wonders whether the university can soldier on.
