She said that in previous elections, most people wait ed to vote until the last two days. Eric Bailey, also co-Chairman of College Democrats, said students need to vote because the measure will have tremendous repercussions, such as tuition increases, if it fails. Over the past two weeks, Bailey has been working tirelessly to educate voters about Measure 28. Linman said Bailey even sacrificed $500 to place a supporting argument in the Voter’s Pamphlet. “He’s living on the Top Ramen diet now,” Linman said jokingly. Monday’s walkout and rally is ex pected to attract between 500 and 1,000 people, Bailey said. He said it is important for the entire University to raise awareness of the election and added that rally organizers have not received any negative responses from University members for spon soring a walkout. “We have had no one tell us not to do it,” Bailey said. Senior Vice President and Provost John Moseley said Tuesday’s election is very important to the University, and as such, the administration is in favor of events that encourage people to exercise their right to vote. Howev er, faculty members are expected to hold classes as scheduled. He added that while attendance is not manda tory throughout the whole Universi ty, students are free to express their political views by leaving class to at tend the walkout and rally.

Crime continued from page 1 blame the University. “With the huge number of bikes on campus, there’s only so much DPS officers can do,” she said. Last term, Brown helped stop a suspicious individual from tampering with a friend’s bike at the rack located outside Bean East. She said the best precaution students can take against bike theft is to invest in a good lock. “Locking your bike with a cable is just asking for it,” she said. University Planning, Facilities Services and DPS are combining ef forts to eventually provide more se cure bike parking alternatives to students, particularly surrounding the residence halls, Hicks said. Added expenses to students and limited space are expected to hin der the progress of settling on a de sign; however, more ideas are in tended to be tested on campus within the next few weeks, he said. Besides theft, DPS also reported a rise in drug violations from 28 ar rests in 1999 to 105 in 2001, which is dwarfed by EPD’s 2001 figure of 2,929 drug-related arrests citywide. The EPD definition of a drug viola tion covers a variety of offenses, in cluding possession, sale, furnishing, cultivating (marijuana), manufac turing (opium or heroine), obtain ing unlawfully and tampering, EPD spokeswoman Carrie Delf said. Although the DPS definition cov ers the same range of violations, Hicks said at least 95 percent of re ported offenses involve possession WEEKEND SPECIAL 2 FREE PANCAKES W/ANY PURCHASE (WITH THIS AD • IAN 19/19 & 15/26) ourmet Cafe Food Deli Sandwiches Salads & Wraps Awesome Desserts Breakfast All Day!

A major factor in the rise of drug violations is the increasing number of residents willing to call in and complain about odd smells or mis chievous activity, he said. The de creasing amount of student toler ance also reflects a better level of awareness within the University community. When the number of drug violations reported at on-cam pus housing facilities quadrupled between 1999 and 2000, Hicks said the entire campus noticed, yet the cause was not clearly defined. “Per haps more students from that par ticular (freshman) class came in smoking pot and figured they could get away with it,” he said. DPS Liquor Law violations spiked from 72 arrests in 1999 to 198 in 2000, and dropped slightly to 190 in 2001. Hicks said the rise was partly due to the assignment of two DPS offi cers who assisted in residence hall rounds and enforcement in 2000. The relatively sustained number re ported in 2001 reflects a significant rise in violations off-campus — from one in 1999 to 42 in 2001 — which includes Riley and Barnhart halls as well as all greek houses. “It’s a combination of greater enforcement and a few large par ties held on greek property,” he said, adding that 2002 will un doubtedly reflect an increase in al cohol-related offenses.
