Three men tried to break into an apartment in Eagle Heights early Sunday morning, according to a UW Police report.
Police arrested five men in connection with the incident. The suspects fled from the apartment before police arrived, but they were apprehended in a car not far from the apartment.
A witness identified the three suspects as those he saw kicking and pounding on the apartment door. One was armed with a straight razor when police searched him. They also found a large knife and brass knuckles in the car.
Police believe the suspects know one of the apartment residents and tentatively charged them with attempted burglary while armed, disorderly conduct while armed and carrying a concealed weapon.
The two other occupants of the car were tentatively charged with being party to a crime. None of the five apparently have any connection to UW-Madison, police said.
VATICAN CITY-Pope John Paul II, weakening steadily from age and a variety of ailments, beatified Mother Teresa Sunday, paving the way for a declaration of her sainthood.
Beatification is the next-to-last step to sainthood. The pontiff had considered declaring Mother Teresa a full saint and skipping the intermediate beatification, but aides persuaded him to stick to the usual roadmap.
The Pope sped up the process, letting the official investigations into her life begin two years after her death instead of the customary five.
Mother Teresa was one of the quickest beatifications in church history.
Born Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in 1910, Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity order in 1949. The religious order, which has missions in 132 countries, is considered the fastest growing in the Catholic Church. Mother Teresa accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and died in 1997.
President Bush said Sunday he is willing to commit to a written guarantee not to attack North Korea in exchange for steps by the country toward abandoning its nuclear weapons programs.
Aides said Bush wants to have a proposal ready for North Korea to consider by year's end, when administration officials hope to restart the six-nation nuclear talks with North Korea that began haltingly in August.
North Korea has openly pursued nuclear weapons despite agreeing to freeze its programs in a 1994 deal.
