OPS offers crime tips
■ The Office of Public
Safety stresses common
sense and precautionary
measures to prevent thefts
By Sara Lieberth
Oregon Daily Emerald
A string of car and bicycle thefts
in recent weeks on campus has Eu
gene police and Office of Public
Safety officials stressing to stu
dents the time-held belief that an
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure.
In support of this, Bob Guse,
crime prevention officer with OPS,
will provide a series of crime tips
that will be published as a regular
weekly feature in the Emerald in
conjunction with Crimewatch in
formation.
While Guse said he typically
feels that crime tips, per se, are less
effective than a self-defense class
or prevention program for driving
home the importance of self-pro
tection, he hopes the consistent re
minder to students will be helpful
in deterring crimes against them.
“If one person can be saved from
being a crime victim, then I will
feel like we are a success,” he said.
The most common offense in the
area is bicycle theft, with Guse ref
erencing an FBI statistic from a few
years ago that ranked Eugene as
third in the nation for this type of
crime.
“There are ways to help allevi
ate this,” he said. “Cable locks
aren’t good at all because this is not
a cable-friendly campus. U-locks
are easily cracked too, but there is a
specific way to use them that a lot
of people don’t know about. ”
Officer Guse is available and
very much interested in meeting
with student groups, sororities, fra
ternities and the like to discuss
specific crime prevention issues
they might face. He said being in
formed and empowered are among
the most effective tools against be
ing victimized.
“My main goal is to make sure
people know
we have a
program that
can be tai
lored for
whatever they
need,” he
said. “The
bottom line is
that OPS
cares, and
we’re avail
able.”
In cooperation with the Univer
sity Office of Student Life, OPS of
fers a number of credit and non
credit safety training sessions
throughout the year, including Self
Defense for Women and Creating a
Rape-Free Environment, as well as
campus safety classes during new
student orientation.
Eugene Police Sgt. Rick Gilliam
said students would do well to
consider personal safety issues
more carefully, especially because
a campus community can be
viewed as a “ready-made market”
for criminals.
He noted that a rash of car thefts
and break-ins, as well as stolen bi
cycles, are an unfortunate reality
when students bring high-priced,
“status symbols” onto campus. If
they choose to bring valuable
items, Gilliam suggests taking all
the necessary steps to protect
them.
In particular, he said Japanese
manufactured vehicles such as
Honda, Toyota and Nissan makes
from the mid-1990s and before have
been targeted by thieves of late.
“I would really encourage em
ploying alternative methods such
as ‘The Club’ or additional security
systems to help protect these stu
dent vehicles,” he said.
University Public Safety Direc
tor Tom Fitzpatrick suggests that
the best method for crime preven
tion is often the simplest.
“It’s the common-sense things
that are important,” he said. “Be
aware of your surroundings and
don’t take unnecessary chances
that we all recognize as chances.”
Fitzpatrick also said he believes
this campus is as safe as any other
average campus and that it is main
ly unfortunate that “criminals will
work toward opportunity,” seeing
college students as targets.
“Being mindful of these circum
stances, understanding risks, these
will keep you safe more than any
thing else,” he said.

Groups get chance to appeal to PFC
■ Four budgets were
approved Monday night,
some because the group
missed its first hearing
By Edward Yuen
Oregon Daily Emerald
Members from the Programs
Finance Committee began hear
ing budget appeals from some
ASUO programs Monday night.
The budgets of five ASUO
programs, including the Philos
ophy Club, Committee for Mu
sical Arts, Community Intern
ship Program, Athletic
Department Finance Committee
and the YWCA, were reviewed
in the hearing.
Members from the PFC ap
proved a budget of $1,037 for
the Philosophy Club with a
22.73 percent decrease from the
previous fiscal year. The group
was initially unfunded because
a representative failed to turn in
the budget on time, according to
PFC Chairwoman Shantell Rice.
The CMA budget was also fi
nally heard Monday night. PFC
members previously accused
CMA representatives of not be
ing responsible when they did
not attend their earlier sched
uled PFC hearing. Jeffrey Rad
cliffe, president of the organiza
tion, said he was unable to
attend the hearing due to mis
communication. The committee
accepted Radcliffe’s explana
tion and approved a budget of
$4,625.
The CIP was also originally
not funded because the repre
sentatives of the program failed
to attend the hearing on the first
scheduled date. PFC members
approved the CIP budget for
$14,172.
The ADFC budget was re
called because PFC members be
lieved the budget should be in
cluded in the Athletic
Department’s budget. PFC mem
bers voted not to fund the pro
gram after a brief discussion with
Jennifer Creighton, an ADFC rep
resentative.
The YWCA budget was also
heard because the representa
tives failed to show up on the
original day. PFC members ap
proved a budget of $3,924, with a
decrease of 0.9 percent from the
budget of the current fiscal year.
In addition, PFC members
voted not to fund United
Women of Asian Heritage,
Whitebird and Sister Universi
ty Project in Monday’s hearing.
