Campus safety
continued from pagel
Recreation Center.
The e-phones average three acti
vations a day, although Hicks said
the majority of calls tend to be
pranks or misunderstandings.
In addition, DPS provides a cour
tesy escort service for both men and
women based on the availability of
on-duty personnel. Hicks advised
the University community: “If any
one is feeling threatened at all,
don’t be afraid to call.”
For those people who can’t or
shouldn’t drive, the ASUO funds
the Designated Driver Shuttle for
University students. The free shut
tle service provides a safe, alterna
tive mode of transportation for in
toxicated students and their
friends that prevents them from
endangering themselves and oth
ers by driving drunk.
The University also offers a
rape-prevention shuttle service
specifically for women. Project
Saferide was started in 1985 when
the student government discov
ered that an overwhelming majori
ty of women did not feel safe walk
ing alone at night.
Based on the idea of women
helping-women, Saferide oper
ates three on-campus vans that
provide free rides to groups of
three or fewer women. The vol
unteer-based program serves the
University and its immediate sur
rounding areas. Because of its
limited capacity, women should
make reservations as soon as they
know they need a ride.
Nikki Sancher, co-director of
Saferide, said the service allows
women to proceed normally with
out being in a constant state of cau
tiousness.

No new attacks
by campus predator
In six separate incidents on or
near campus last spring, women
were attacked by an unidentified
man. The attacks occurred behind
Johnson Hall, in Alton Baker Park
and by the Pioneer Cemetery.
Although a similar harassment
occurred on the bike path on Delta
Highway this summer, Hicks said
the incident has not been linked to
a particular person. He added that
no one has been apprehended and
no further campus incidents have
been reported.
The common thread among the
campus attacks was that the sur
vivors were alone and did not use
the available emergency phones,
Hicks said.
Foisy warned students that 85
percent of sexual assaults happen
between acquaintances. But she
said people tend to more frequently
fear strangers, though they repre
sent a smaller percentage of attacks.

how large athletic budgets could
grow.
Among the suggestions in the
resolution was resisting over-com
mercialization of college sports
teams. Universities are institutions
of learning, after all, not sports fran
chises, the resolution said.
“Various individual faculty
members have argued that we
should be concerned about exces
sive athletic spending at this Uni
versity and country-wide,” said
Suzanne Clark, English professor
and member of the Senate Budget
Committee.
“My personal reaction to Phil
Knight’s announcement, ‘I’m Back,’
is to welcome him wholeheartedly.
The University values its support
ers and needs them badly.”
