Safety dynamic changes in summer
■ SECURITY: The weather
and increased number of
vacations ups safety risks
By Michael Hines
Oregon Daily Emerald
Summer does not change the
criminal mentality.
The season has changed to
summer and criminals adjust ac
cordingly, Eugene police say.
The good weather of summer
adds the need for greater security
measures, Sgt. Dave Poppe said.
People tend to leave windows
to cars and homes open more of
ten because of the heat, he said.
That practice leaves spots open
for easy robberies.
Vacations are also common in
the summer. Eugene Community
Service Officer Bev Mason rec
ommends having a trusted neigh
bor or friend pick up mail and
generally make the dwelling look
lived in a couple times a day. Se
curing the door and windows is
sometimes overlooked, she said.
Personal safety also changes in
the summer. People tend to take
late-night walks more often in
the summer, Mason said. She
recommends paying attention to
the surroundings. Other tools for
safety are carrying a chemical
spray and telling others of your
destination. Businesses often
have expanded hours in the sum
mer, she said, and can be used as
refuge.
“Your security measures
should never change,” Mason
said, “regardless of the season.”
Saferide is available in the
summer to prevent women from
walking alone at night. The
hours are 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. from
Sunday to Thursday and 9 p.m.
to 2 a.m. from Friday to Sunday.
The phone number is 346-4239.
“It’s not time to be scared, it’s
time to enjoy the summer and act
responsibly,” Mason said.
Police also want to reiterate
regular safety tips.
“For new students on campus,
I think it’s fair to warn them that
setting your backpack down and
going away for two minutes can
result in theft,” Poppe said.
Leaving anything of value in
plain view in a car is dangerous,
he said. Windows are often shat
tered to get the merchandise.
Bike theft is another common
problem in Eugene. Poppe rec
ommends that U-locks and cable
locks are used in combination.
Campus has been relatively
safe this summer, Poppe said.
Most problems are from non
University students.
Some cases of assault have
been reported during this calen
SUMMER SAFETY, TIPS
■ HOME AND CAR: Be sure
to lock doors and windows, es
pecially when leaving the vicini- |
ty
■ ON CAMPUS: Avoid leaving
backpacks unattended; they
have the tendency to disappear
■ TRANSPORTATION:
Saferide is available 9 p.m. to
12 a.m. Sunday through Thurs
day and 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Fri- 1
day and Saturday. Call 346
4239 for .more information
dar year, he said. Most of them
involved drugs or alcohol in a
dating situation.
“Just because you think you
know someone, going out and
getting intoxicated is not safe,”
Poppe said.
The area around campus is
safe, Poppe said, with the excep
tion of parts of East 13th Avenue.
Some drug activity has been tak
ing place between Pearl and Fer
ry Streets. Walking through that
area alone at night is risky,
Poppe said.
The University Office of Public
safety is always open, located at
1319 E. 15th Ave. The phone
numbers are 346-6666 for an
emergency and 346-5444 for
non-emergency calls.
Code: University ranks sixth in participation

chines and several weeks working on the problem,
Allen said.
“The chances are so miniscule that people are go
ing to have the resources to do this,” he said.
The University was a major participant in the
challenge. “Computers from all over campus were
involved in DESCHALL,” Allen said.
The University was ranked sixth for amount of
computer resources devoted to DESCHALL.
Carnegie Mellon University placed first while Ore
gon State placed 24th. Private corporations also de
voted their computer resources to the challenge —
computer manufacturer Sun Microsystems was
ranked third.
"Everyone involved in the DESCHALL effort ap
preciates the time that people took to run the DE
SCHALL client,” St Sauver said. “I think it’s a good
example of how collaborative computing projects
will become increasingly common and effective.”
C(All the combined computing power of all
the computers involved surpasses the power of
the Cray (a supercomputer). ??
Joe St Sauver
University Computing assistant director
“All the combined computing power of all the
computers involved surpasses the power of the Cray
(a supercomputer),” St Sauver said.
“It’s also a lot cheaper than buying a Cray,” he
added.
Rocke Verser has a similar idea. “Imagine what
might be possible using millions of computers con
nected to the Internet,” he said.
“Perhaps the Internet will become Everyman’s su
percomputer.”
Housing: Rooms to be more spacious, attractive
■ Continued from Page 1
The renovation of the Bean
Complex is only step one in an
image makeover for the building,
Bean Complex Resident Director
Patrick McFall said.
Bean has the image of being a
prison and is often called “the
ghetto” or other similar names,
he said.
“We’re trying to make it look
more like their homes,” McFall
said.
University Housing conducted
a survey this year among its resi
dents and discovered that resi
dents of Bean East were pleased
with their new furniture while
residents of Bean West were un
happy with their rooms, he said.
“We heard the feedback from
residents in Bean East, and we’re
just finishing the plan,” McFall
said.
The rooms will be more spa
cious and attractive. McFall
hopes this will help to convince
residents to stay in Bean.
Simply renovating the build
ing is not all that McFall has in
mind. The second step to the
complex’s image change lies
with the building’s staff. McFall
wants his resident assistants to
keep an energetic and positive at
titude. This would only add to
Bean’s appeal to residents, he
said.
McFall admits that the Univer
sity cannot do anything to
change the outside appearance of
the building, but it can change
both the structure and the atti
tude on the inside.
(CHopefully, after this year,
Bean will be one of the most
recommended places to
live.
Patrick McFall
Bean Complex Resident Director
“Hopefully, after this year,
Bean will be one of the most rec
ommended places to live," Mc
Fall said.
Housing also plans on renovat
ing the elevators in the Universi
ty Inn, possibly as early as this
summer. Plans have also been
made to renovate the first floor of
Carson in the fall.
