and electing a chairperson, vice
chairperson, two EMU Board
representatives and an
Associated Students Presidents
Advisory Committee (ASPAC)
representative.
A date for the election of of
ficers has not been established.
The Executive brought forth
two requests for the IFC. The
first focused a conference to be
held in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho,
sponsored by the Northwest
Coalition against Malicious
Harrassmnnt
The coalition formed recently
to eliminate the white
supremist power base in Nor
thern Idaho and the Northwest,
according to ASUO Finance
Coordinator Mike Sauerwein.
The $1,13ti request covers ex
penses for two ASUO represen
tatives and seven ASUO pro
gram representatives
The conference will provide a
“real opportunity to learn about
minority issues" and raise
awareness about racist and anti
Semitic attitudes that still
prevail even though many peo
ple see the Northwest as free of
those sentiments. Sauerwein
said.
The committee approved the
allocation 3-0-2 with ).B. Leahy
and Sandra Thompson
abstaining.
The second request was for
the purchase and installation of
four infant-care referral bulletin
boards.
The boards would give
students a place to go to find in
fant child care and would be
placed at the Child Care and
IJevelopment Center. Amazon
Child Care, Westmoreland
Child tlare and the EMU.
I-eahv and Thompson ex
pressed their opposition to the
request. Leahy suggested keep
ing names and numbers for
reference on index cards at the
child care center desks, while
Thompson supported only pur
chasing one board for place
ment in the EMU.
"It's not that I'm against hav
ing a board in each location,"
but it seems sensible to just in
stall one to monitor its use and
effectiveness, she said.
Member Steve Hoyt said that
each child care location had its
own unique needs and
problems.
Thompson moved to allocate
$142 for one board, but the mo
tion was defeated 2-3 with
Baldwin, Hoyt and Kristin
Teigen voting against. Teigen
made a second motion for the
full amount requested, and that
was approved in a 3-2 vote.
Anonymous tip line helps catch crooks
By Fiona Chan
Emerald Contributor
People who have information
vital to Springfield police in
vestigations and yet are not
willing to be personally involv
ed can find the perfect avenue
through the "Anonymous Tip
Line' at 726-3773.
Clapt. jerry Smith of the Spr
ingfield Police Department en
courages the public to use the
tip line more frequently if they
have information that they
think would help the police
solve crimes
"Police are not magicians and
they need information to focus
their efforts at particular people
and locations." Smith said. "If
the police have no information,
they can't function in criminal
investigations so the tip line
is one source that the\ may be
able to use."
The line is a 24-hour non
emergency lire for people with
information about unsolved
crimes, suspicious activities
and situations that merit
investigation
“This is an avenue that they
can provide the police a direc
tion to focus attention and ef
forts.” Smith said "It is a
valuable tool that the Spr
ingfield police certainly have
no plans of getting rid of,” he
added.
Tip-line callers will hear a
taped message and then lie
given time to leave their infor
mation on an answering
machine. Callers are not re
quired to identify themselves or
leave a contact.
Police officers check out the
answering machines every mor
ning for new tips that came in
the day before Police, however,
do not investigate every tip
comes in due to either lack of
resources, vague messages or
commonly known information.
Smith said.
“The number of calls that
comes in through the tip line
depends on what goes on in the
community." Smith said "It
ranges from a couple of calls a
night to nothing for several
days.”
The tip line receives an
estimated 10 to 15 calls a week
although the police may receive
a host of calls after the media
released a suspect's description
in a homicide case, Smith said.
According to Smith, the
anonymous caller program has
helped police clear several
cases — "probably mure than
they can attribute to the line.”
Smith said he would like to
see the tip line used inure fre
quently because he believes
there are people out there who
tend to let the information pass,
thinking the police already
know what they have to offer
Although the tip line is a
generic program used
throughout the United States
and police departments
throughout the country have
benefited from it, the Spr
ingfield tip line was started by
the community.

these kind of programs existed
