FROM:      Charles C. Colbert
           Vice Chancellor for Administration and Human Resources

SUBJECT:   Safety Alert


As we near the end of the semester, and spring brings on warmer weather, 
the potential for assault, robbery or other forms of aggressive behavior 
is heightened.  To ensure the safety of all of our students, staff, and 
faculty, I would like to remind everyone of a few important tips to help 
you avoid becoming the victim of a crime.

- Use the MTD scheduled bus service or SafeRides service - call 265-RIDE 
(265-7433).

- Never walk alone, especially after dark.

- Always use well-lighted paths.

- If you observe any suspicious activity or people, call 9-9-1-1 from a 
campus phone or 9-1-1 from a non-campus phone.

- Remember that the more you drink, the easier target you will be for 
criminals.

- Make a note of the locations of the emergency phones around the campus 
so that if you ever become the victim of any crime, please contact the 
police immediately, so they can help you receive appropriate medical and 
emotional support.

Please remember that your personal safety should always be a priority.
