A $20,000
cello and a
$5,500 horn
were stolen
out of student
lockers in the
School of
Music on
Wednesday.
Music: Video surveillance among suggestions
Continued from page 1
e-mail to the Emerald. “These instru
ments cost thousands of dollars and
the school should be helping to keep
our possessions secure and our
minds at ease. ”
Music school GTF Cody Forcier
said after students continued to re
ceive little help from the SOM, he
went to the Graduate Teaching Fel
lows Federation to “get advice and
discuss the burglary and (Toben’s)
heroic efforts.” One of the union’s
suggestions was to write a formal let
ter to the dean.
Forcier, Toben, two other music
school GTFs and the victims of last
week’s burglary have signed and sent
a letter that suggests security im
provements. Those suggestions in
clude: video surveillance in areas
with lockers, large permanent signs
warning of the cameras, having a se
curity presence in the building after
the building is closed at 5 p.m. and
including plans for a room with a se
curity keypad that houses secured
lockers in the new SOM building
plans. The letter also suggests more
Eugene Police Department presence
in the neighborhood surrounding the
music school and parking lot at all
hours, increased University Depart
ment of Public Safety presence in the
parking lots at all hours and having
officers walk through the school dur
ing and after business hours. They
also requested the registration of stu
dent instruments, including insurance
policy numbers and estimated value.
“Once, a locker was broken into
that was directly above a locker that
had been broken into the week be
fore,” Forcier said.
Toben said since he came to the
SOM two years ago there have been
about five break-ins resulting in 15
stolen instruments.
DPS is scheduled to meet with the
SOM administration this week to dis
cuss possible solutions. DPS Interim
Director Tom Hicks said having offi
cers patrol the SOM in the morning
and afternoon is a problem because
“the bulk of our day is spent respond
ing from call to call.” He also said
that at any given time there are only
two or three officers on duty, some
times fewer.
“I would encourage students to be
careful about the property they store
there,” Hicks said. “They’re not real
durable lockers. ”
Hicks also suggests students do
not leave their property unattended
and report to DPS when they see
something suspicious.
Hicks said if DPS and SOM officials
decide to change building hours, the
change will be implemented quickly.
If they decide to use security cameras
or fund more Community Service Of
ficers to patrol the building, it could
take until July.
