Or. c< staff writer PH1UE BURT Calvin Gallman knows campus safety is an important issue. As victim/witness coordinator for the Division of Law Enforcement and Safety, Gallman points out how campus police aim to help make the campus open to learning more about safety and to encourage everyone to pay attention to their surroundings. This way, students and faculty can be exposed to proper precautions to be taken in the event of danger and make use of them. "People should make intelligent decisions and use common sense," Gallman said. If s essential for the police officer to be a part of the community. And officers in uniform are around campus 24 hours a day, whether on foot or bicycle. Also, they have an adopt-a-cop program, which allows officers to spend their time in a specific part of the community and attend functions in that area. "This makes (the officers) more approachable," Gallman said. The most common crime on campus is theft. When this occurs, it's important the victim report the incident quickly. "Timely reporting is essential," Gallman said. For instance, if a student's book is stolen, the student should report the thelt nght away. ^ J CMI? f I flui jf yBi q p[j *clci If students should find themselves in danj respond within minutes.

Rape is one of the less common crimes on campus. Only two rapes were reported last year to the Division of Law Enforcement and Safety. "If you report something, you are an extension of the police department." Calvin Gallman victim/witness coordinator, Division of Law Enforcement & Safety Rape often goes unreported because the victim feels like the incident was his or her fault. However, if s important that victims contact someone. Gallman can assist victims in going to court if they report the incident. "I can get details for what the victim might need," he said. Gallman also encourages the students and faculty to look out for each other and to report any crime they witness.

He attributes this trend to a variety of reasons, such as new students adjusting to university life and leaving home for the first time. As activities increase, crime increases as well. For example, Gallman said more problems with alcohol take place when there are big sporting events. j| "Anytime you have more activity, crime will Jjf| go up," he said. In order to prevent crime, Gallman emphasizes that students should be aware of safety ? tips and follow them. He said that doing this will keep students safer than if they decided to carry weapons instead. There are a number of other things students can do to protect themselves. Project I. D. is a campus program in which students can get their valuables engraved with ; . a number. If those valuables are stolen or lost and then 4 found again, they can be traced back to the ownStudents can enter this program by con- f tacting their resident advisers, resident hall di- / rectors or the Office of Crime Awareness.
