‘He’s the most genuine person I’ve met’ MILLER REMEMBERED AS A FRIEND, MENTOR AND BIGGEST FAN OF UNIVERSITY

BY Kevin Cunningham SPORTS CORRESPONDENT

Athletic Director, Paul Plinske, who is the current James “Jim” B. Miller III, a former UWAthletic Director Whitewater head baseball coach, passed away at the University of at the age of 74 on March 9. Simply calling Nebraska at Kearney, him a former head baseball coach, however, said he refers to does not even begin to reflect on what he him as Mills in the meant to not just UW-Whitewater, but the most professional Whitewater community as a whole. and respectful way.

“There have been a lot of coaches who In a past interview, have spent a lot of time at Whitewater,” former Warhawk current Warhawk head baseball coach John head football coach Vodenlich said. “The reason he is unique Jim Miller Bob Berezowitz to me, is because he did so many things for referred to Miller as “Mr. Whitewater.”

Growing up, Miller’s backyard ‘Hey, I want to go talk to the AD (Athletic was literally the UW-Whitewater campus. In Director) to try and go get something and take it away from another program’. He loved an interview in 2011, Miller said that once every program there, almost sometimes to my Hyer Hall was remodeled, he had seen every building that has been built on campus. frustration.

At the time, UW-Whitewater operated “My mentality was, let’s put the baseball program first. And I’m not saying he didn’t do an Elementary and High School, both of which Miller attended. Miller then attended that, but he didn’t do it in an adversarial way UW-Whitewater and graduated in 1965 with whatsoever, and that’s the most impressive Bachelor in Education in Social Studies.

director, director of Warhawk Stadium, the head men’s basketball coach, an assistant professor and chair of the Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Coaching Department.

During his time as the baseball coach, which ran from 1987-2003, he turned the baseball program around, never enduring a losing season. Miller laid down the foundation and allowed Vodenlich to take over a program on the rise.

Vodenlich said he learned a lot from Miller, dating back to his playing days when he played under Miller, but one thing stuck out to him that helped guide him to become the baseball coach he is today.

“Most people think it’s like coaching your high school baseball team, but you’re essentially the CEO of the Warhawk baseball team,” Vodenlich said. “You have to raise money, you have to recruit players, you have a human resource responsibility, you have an equipment and facility component, you for sure have an accounting component, you have a secretarial component, there’s a marketing component and a public outreach component.

“My first impression I had of him was that I couldn’t believe he spent so much time on other aspects of the program. That is probably for me, the one area that has served me best.

Being the coach of a national power – a very small percentage of it is being a coach to the players. He’s the most genuine person I’ve met and he always would push the credit to the players. For me, he’s the best model I could have asked for.”

Miller originally didn’t have an assistant coach during his first few years as head coach, but Vodenlich talked about the bond they shared and how Miller created the assistant coaching position for Vodenlich.

After retiring, Miller continued his duties at UW-Whitewater as a special assistant to the director of intercollegiate athletics. He worked closely with Plinske, who at the time was the Warhawks’ athletic director. Plinske spoke highly of Miller and talked about all he meant to the community.

“The best phrase I could give is that he’s a servant leader,” Plinske said. “He served others, but during it, he led them and people knew that Mills would take off his shirt if somebody needed it. He just cared so much for other people. But he did it by supporting them, loving them and being for them. It’s a testament to him, about his passion and what he did for the entire community.

“The times I will remember most is when he would come into my office and sit across from me and just give me support and guidance. As a first-time athletic director in an incredibly successful athletic department, Jim was always there to be a support and a friend and to give advice. He would do that for everyone. I’m very thankful that I got a chance to get to know him. He lived an outstanding life. He would always talk to me about how fortunate he was to grow up and live in Whitewater,” Plinske said.

In 2009, the baseball stadium was renamed after him – Prucha Field at James B. Miller Stadium.

‘It wasn’t about the money’

CALLAHAN SHARES MEMORIES OF TIME SPENT WITH GIANTS AND TWINS

BY TOM GANSER CORRESPONDENT

With a gleam in his eye and a bright smile stretching 60 and a half feet, Ryan Callahan stepped onto the mound and threw out the first pitch of the Fall 2015 Fairhaven Lecture Series Sept. 14 with “The Timelessness of Spring Training and the Minor Leagues.”

The current series, “Standing the Test of Time,” explores traditions, institutions, and natural wonders and artifacts that have endured and stood the test of time in a world filled with constant change, new technologies, innovations, and fads that impact people in many ways, including how they communicate, what they turn to for entertainment, what kind of art they most appreciate, and how they care for themselves and others.

Callahan graduated from UWWhitewater in December 2004 with a degree in elementary education, having pitched for the Warhawks baseball team for his entire undergraduate career. In 2008 he earned a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from UW-W and currently serves as its Director of Continuing Education Services.

Callahan signed on with the San Francisco Giants as a major league prospect and played portions of two years with the Giants organization, followed by two years with the Minnesota Twins.

Longtime Warhawk baseball coach Jim Miller recruited Callahan.

“I coached a number of outstanding pitchers over the years. If I needed a pitcher to throw one pitch to get one out, it would be Ryan Callahan. He doesn’t back down, and quite frankly, he’s got guts,” Miller said.

Callahan’s pitching velocity approached 90 mph and his performance also gained the attention of professional major league scouts.

“The first time I talked to a scout,” Callahan said at the lecture, “I thought I was going to be a millionaire in three weeks.

“The most exciting part of the pre-draft stuff was the hoopla. I was 22 years old and it was a great feeling… The one thing I want to do for the rest of my life was play baseball… or play baseball. That was it,” he said.

Callahan said he was called for a 2004 workout at Miller Park in Milwaukee with about 20 pitchers and 20 position players from across the country.

During the summer before his student teaching semester while he was working as a painter, he said he got a call from a San Francisco Giants scout offering him “only a $1,000 signing bonus” that he would have easily given back to the scout just to

play ball.

After signing the contract, Callahan flew to Arizona and said he was thrilled “the Giants called me and I’m a professional player now.”

He said he was awed walking into the Giants locker room, seeing his name displayed and being issued an official Giants jersey with his name on the back.

While admitting his story is “unique because it’s me,” Callahan stressed that when it comes to the experiences of young players drafted into the major leagues “things really haven’t changed. The beauty of spring training is the history. It’s really neat to be part of something. The schedule really hasn’t changed for a long time.”

One fond memory, he said, was overhearing the “amazing stories” shared between old timers who had been in professional baseball for 60 years or more.

“They were talking about the best players to play the game ever. Everything was amazing,” he said.

Unexpectedly, Callahan was offered and signed a Topps baseball card contract – for $10 – but said he never cashed it and doesn’t think he ever will.

Callahan said his $950 a month salary

was “cheap labor,” even with the $20 per day allotted for meals that was reduced if the organization provided food. At one point, he also had to pay $3 dollars a day to a club worker to do laundry and help get things ready for road trips.

“It wasn’t about the money but about doing something you’re passionate about,” he said.

After two years Callahan was released by the Giants and picked up by the Minnesota Twins where he said he discovered more of a family atmosphere – one that reflects Mid-western values.

Callahan talked about his time with the Giants and the Twins with fond memories – and a not-so-fond memory of his encounters with snakes while living in Las Vegas during his time with the Giants in Scottsdale, AZ and the Twins in Fort Meyer, FL. Arizona, according to Callahan, was a “fantasy land,” not only because of the scenery but also because of seeing the likes of Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter and Mike Tyson in Scottsdale.

Upon arriving in Hagerstown, MD to play Low A ball, Callahan said he was thrilled to meet Willy Mays in the

clubhouse during a celebration day in Mays’ honor.

Life on the road was taxing, Callahan said, including bus trips that lasted upwards of 19 hours, but it also allowed him to see many parts of the country for the first time.

“Going through Blue Ridge mountains at 6 a.m. was beautiful,” he said.

Callahan also said his time with the Giants and Twins was “the most diverse” environment he had ever experienced.

“When I played in 2004, 45 percent of all the minor league players were not American born.”

He also talked about taking 45 minute conditioning runs through Dodgertown in Vero Beach, FL, and passing through the same space once shared by baseball greats like Duke Snyder and Jackie Robinson.

All lectures are free, open to the public, and held on Mondays at 3 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of Fairhaven Retirement Community, 435 W. Starin Rd., Whitewater. Street parking is adjacent to the building.

UW-Whitewater online bachelor’s degree seventh best in the nation, MBA ranks highly Students who pursue an online degree at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater are enrolled in some of the best programs in the country, according to new national rankings.

U.S. News and World Report released its 2016 list of the best online programs – based on criteria including student engagement, peer reputation and faculty credentials and training.

UW-Whitewater’s bachelor’s degree ranked seventh best; the MBA came in at number 27.

“The online Bachelor of Business Administration program in particular has really taken off, with enrollment growing approximately 40 percent over the past year,” said John Stone, interim provost. “There is no doubt that it is doing an excellent job of serving the adult student population.”

The average age of students enrolled in the university’s online bachelor’s program is 31; most of the students take courses part time as they continue to work.

“This ranking is recognition of the time and effort our faculty and staff apply towards providing an exceptional experience for our students. Our dedicated advisers and technical staff are consistently focused on creating an environment where students and faculty can be successful,” said John Chenoweth, dean of the College of Business and Economics. “Our faculty set high standards for students and then take the time to help them achieve their goals.”

Online learning is a rich experience for UWWhitewater students. They have access to academic advising, library services, writing workshops, financial aid, live tutoring, technical support, mentoring and career placement services.

Launched in 1998, the online MBA was one of the first of its kind offered nationally and has always distinguished itself by its quality. The program maintains exacting, research-based standards to ensure quality in all aspects, from course design, assessments, instructor-to-student interactions, and student-to-student interactions.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of UWWhitewater’s online MBA program is that it attracts students from around the world.

“I love it when students completing the program’s exit evaluations discuss how much they have benefitted from working on case study teams and learning how their fellow students from Korea, Mexico and England all approach the challenges and identify solutions quite differently, calling on a wealth of diverse experiences,” Stone said. “That is what professional master’s-level education should be about.”

The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater has experienced record enrollment five out of the last six years. According to a new study that looked at the campus’s effect on the econ-

omy in Walworth, Rock and Jefferson counties, the university contributes more than $400 million to area’s economy each year.

economic impact more than $407 million The University of WisconsinWhitewater’s annual economic impact on the region is more than $407 million. That’s according to a new study, which looked at the campus’s effect on the economy in Walworth, Rock and Jefferson counties.

Taking into account university spending on payroll, supplies and capital investments, and spending from students, faculty, staff and visitors, UW-Whitewater accounts for $407,177,739 in economic activity and supports 4,352 jobs.

“We’re proud of UW-Whitewater’s profound impact on the region,” Chancellor Beverly Kopper said. “Not only are we changing lives by offering students robust academic, cultural and athletic experiences, but UW-Whitewater also brings money, employment and volunteerism into the area.

This economic study further demonstrates what a tremendous investment the campus is for our community and the people of Wisconsin.”

In addition to the regional economic impact, UW-Whitewater generates an

estimated $17,914,768 in annual tax revenue for the state, including sales tax, property tax and income tax.

James Langnes III, a student majoring in finance who also serves as a member of the UW System Board of Regents and City of Whitewater Common Council, lauded the town-gown relationship.

“There are many opportunities for students to find employment in the community and surrounding area,” he said.

“The college students benefit from these jobs because they can earn money while gaining real-world experience. In turn, those students benefit the region because of the economic activity that is spurred from the students and impact of the university.

The partnership of UW-Whitewater and the city generates a breeding ground for the successful leaders and innovators of tomorrow.”

“The economic engine of Whitewater is really the university,” President and CEO of the Greater Whitewater Committee and owner of Knight Public Affairs Jeffery

Knight said. “The students, staff, professors and leadership from the university have become an integral part of our community.

As the largest employer in town, the multiplier effect of spending by those employees has a profound impact on all our businesses.

“Many of our businesses provide services or products to the university community on a daily basis. This is a strong report that emphasizes what many of us have believed for a long time.

This university does an amazing job of educating our young adults into tomorrow’s leaders, but has a profound economic impact on the city of Whitewater and its diverse business makeup.”

Lacey Reichwald, a 2008 graduate and owner of the SweetSpot Cafe and the SweetSpot Bakehouse, said many of the businesses in the community would not exist without UW-Whitewater.

“We really benefit as a business from the university,” she said. “My staff is 80 percent college students. Our customer

base is heavily influenced by the university and includes students, parents, professors, staff, retired professors, spouses of staff and visitors for camps and events. This community is more vibrant because of the university.”

Visitor spending generated by UWWhitewater’s championship-caliber athletic program, respected youth camps, and Young Auditorium performance venue collectively accounted for more than $14.6 million every year.

Russ Kashian, professor of economics and author of the study, said this report only scratches the surface of UW-Whitewater’s impact.

“The numbers don’t account for the increase in income tax revenue we see in individuals with higher levels of education and thus a higher income,” he said. “And then there is the synergy of cultural, social and intellectual experiences and community service activities, which undoubtedly creates an even greater level of positive effect on the local economy.”

5 gigs that will help you pay for college Let’s face it – college is expensive. Whether you’re still in school trying to pay for textbooks and housing, a professional facing your student loans or a parent saving for your child’s future tuition, the cost of an education can result in debt that looms for decades.

More people are finding that full-time jobs are not even beginning to cover the costs. Today’s gig economy and sharing economy offers many different avenues to supplement your budget and ease the burden of education-related expenses, all while providing flexibility and self-determinant hours.

DRIVE FOR A RIDE-SHARING SERVICE

Do you have a car, auto insurance and some spare time? Ride-sharing apps, like Uber and Lyft, offer an opportunity to make quick cash by driving riders in your local area, using your own vehicle. Drivers work as independent contractors and receive a payment based off of how many hours or miles are logged each week. “They make it extremely easy to make quick money if I need it,” says Aidan Monheim, a student at the University of Massachusetts-Boston who drives for Lyft in his spare time to earn money for utilities and other bills. “It allows me to be flexible around my classes and earn money without working a set number of hours a week.”

RENT YOUR ROOM

Another “side-gig” opportunity that is gaining popularity is the home-sharing industry. Apps like Airbnb and HomeAway connect would-be travelers with locals willing to rent out rooms, or their entire home. Simply list your place on the site, and screen candidates based on your preferences. By listing your residence during peak travel times and arranging to stay with friends or family, renters can earn supplemental income for their education, with very little effort.

BECOME A DIRECT SELLER

Direct selling provides a flexible opportunity for people to make additional income on their own terms, and within their own networks. Take Nakul Arora, for example, who became an Amway Independent See 5 GIGS, Page 15

The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is one of only 44 schools in the nation chosen to participate in a sweeping initiative to improve the first-year experience for college students.

U W - W H I T E WAT E R

tapped to help nation reimagine students’ first year of college The University of WisconsinWhitewater is one of only 44 schools in the nation chosen to participate in a sweeping initiative to improve the first-year experience for college students.

The three-year project, “Reimagining the First Year of College,” is spearheaded by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and will bring together the talents and knowledge of AASCU schools in a coordinated effort to improve graduation and retention rates nationwide.

The first year has emerged as an important threshold for student success because it’s the point at

which dropout rates are highest, and where the potential for reform is greatest.

“When it comes to student success and retention, we know the first year is critical,” Chancellor Beverly Kopper said. “At UW-Whitewater, as soon as students set foot on campus, our dedicated faculty and staff make sure they feel a sense of belonging.

We embrace several strategies to create a rich experience that sets them on a path for academic success.

We’re excited to share these practices with universities across the U.S. and learn about other innovative ways to engage students.”

Some of the strategies to be

discussed include course redesigns, a personalized approach to academic advising, and addressing career planning earlier.

AASCU chose UW-Whitewater to participate because of the university’s strong leadership commitment, robust research and data system, IT infrastructure and culture that supports change.

The initiative kicked off in February in Austin, Texas, when AASCU holds its winter conference.

The project is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and USA Funds.

Tips to make a dorm room a home

store with an associate.

Whether living on- or off-campus, the store-provided checklist is handy, breaking down essentials. High school graduates can create a registry online or in-store to share with family and friends, as well as with roommates in order to avoid duplicates.

A free service, “Pack and Hold,” allows students to shop for items at a store near home for convenient pick-up at a location closer to campus. This is especially beneficial for students traveling far to school. Students can also prepare early by shopping online and selecting a ship date at checkout. Consider attending student shopping events and visiting bedbathandbeyond.com/shopforcollege to schedule an appointment with a college expert.

Dorm room comfort is crucial for health, happiness and academic success. Luckily, there are ways to create personalized, functional spaces within any budget.

The college shopping experts at Bed Bath and Beyond are offering tips to help.

CREATE YOUR SPACE Students can showcase their style and make it home by adding an area rug, decorative pillows and throw blanket for extra warmth. Window panels, tapestries, artwork and mirrors pull the room together.

Add string-lights for atmosphere, or try an Étagère Floor Lamp with Charging Station to provide extra light for studying.

Ample seating is always good for when friends pop in: consider chairs that fold when not in use to save space.

Standard-issue dorm mattresses are often uncomfortable. Build a better bed with a mattress pad, memory foam topper or fiberbed. Then, guard against allergens and spills with a mattress protector. Most dorms require twin extra-long sheets, which are 5” longer than normal twin sheets. Remember, students will need an extra set for laundry day.

College dorm rooms are notorious for being small. Use storage and organizational systems under the bed, over the door and in the closet. For instance, an over-the-door shoe organizer can store rolled up T-shirts, cosmetics, toiletries and school supplies.

Take advantage of vertical closet space to make more room with a Double Hang

POWER UP Staying powered is crucial these days.

Multi-functional bed risers featuring an AC outlet and USB charger maximize underbed space while providing a grounded charging station.

Charge and protect electrical devices from voltage spikes with a surge protector.

Often described as the services used by those with more time than money, apps like TaskRabbit, Handy, Thumbtack and HomeJoy offer opportunities to get paid

for home cleaning and maintenance work.

Seemingly simple tasks, such as cleaning a home, mowing a lawn or assembling a piece of furniture can run up to $50 an hour. And the best part? Like Uber, direct selling and other gig economy services, you work on your own terms and can make your own schedule around studying, work or other commitments.

SELL YOUR OLD STUFF

Is your closet piling up with unwanted

clothes and shoes? Maybe you have spare furniture cluttering your storage space, or a drawer full of old electronics. Why not turn your clutter into cash? Apps like ThredUp, PoshMark and LetGo offer opportunities to sell your stuff in an auction-like setting, and do all the work for you – simply list your items, watch them get purchased and place them in a shipping bag that is provided by the company. Selling old items is an easy and painless way to make extra money for tuition, textbooks, or loans.

University to use old Sentry building for community outreach center The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents recently authorized a lease by UW-Whitewater of the former Sentry building on Main Street in Whitewater. The UWWhitewater Foundation will own the building and space will be rented to the university.

The 51,000-square-foot building will serve as a community outreach center for UW-Whitewater.

“The foundation greatly appreciates the support of the Regents in this endeavor. This acquisition by the UW-Whitewater Foundation will serve the city of Whitewater and the region by allowing easy access to the services most used by the general public,” Foundation President Jonathan Enslin said. “We are pleased that the Foundation is able to partner again with the university and the community to create new opportunities.”

Enslin said plans for the site include moving the Children’s Center, the business outreach centers and the counseling, speech and language clinics to the facility. It is hoped that eventually the Children’s Center will enroll children from the community.

Children’s Center’s services are currently for faculty, staff and students because of limited space.

“We were pleased to vote for a space that puts services for the community in one location, making it easier for people to access these critical resources. A future expansion of services for more area children and families is a hopeful next step,” Regent President Regina Millner said.

“I’d like to thank the Regents and the UW-Whitewater Foundation for their support. This building will help us address our space deficiencies and critical academic program and enrollment needs,” Chancellor Beverly Kopper said.

“A primary focus is also on expanding the services we provide to the community. We know our economic impact is more than $407 million annually and we believe the outreach center will help increase the amount of money that comes into Walworth, Jefferson and Rock counties, while providing much needed services.”

Kopper said moving the services to a more convenient location for users will open up much needed space on campus that can be used to expand campus offerings and create new opportunities for students, faculty and staff.

Ground was broken on the Mary Poppe Chrisman Success Center in May. The facility is expected to open in the fall of 2017.

U W - W H I T E WAT E R

breaks ground on Mary Poppe Chrisman Success Center

An addition to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater campus has been set in motion, thanks to a generous donation from an alumnus, Byron R. “Chris” Chrisman, in honor of his late wife, Mary Poppe Chrisman.

Chris, who received a Bachelor of Science in business in 1959, was inspired to make the gift in memory of Mary, who graduated in 1957 with a B.S. in mathematics. She excelled on campus and went on to teach math at the high school level before joining the National Bureau of Standards and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as a computer programmer.

“My primary motivation for wanting the building named after Mary was that she loved teaching,” Chris said. “And she very much appreciated her experience at Wisconsin State College-Whitewater, as it was called at the time.”

The Mary Poppe Chrisman Success Center will house the UW-Whitewater Academic Support Center, serving

thousands of students with tutorial and supplemental instruction and offering employment opportunities to hundreds of qualified learning assistants, or tutors.

The 18,390 square-foot three-story addition, which broke ground in May 2016 and is expected to open in fall 2017, will connect to Laurentide Hall, offering easy access to mathematics and English faculty and staff. The highly functional and easily accessible center will provide the space, technology and programs to meet the campus’s growing demand for in-depth tutorial support.

“Generous gifts such as this one allow us to reach beyond our current capacity to help students thrive academically,” Chancellor Beverly Kopper said. “Our vision is that the Mary Poppe Chrisman Success Center will enhance the exceptional learning environment students already experience and the support them in their success on campus and beyond.”

UW-Whitewater has provided free peerlearning opportunities to its students since

the mid-1960s. The Academic Support Center serves 43 percent of the current undergraduate population of 12,351 full-time students, three times as many as were served just five years ago, and provides nearly 150,000 hours of tutoring every year. Math, accounting, writing and the sciences are the subjects where the demand for tutoring is the greatest. To meet that demand, the university currently employs, trains and supervises more than 230 student-learning assistants.

Chris agrees that both he and his late wife would have benefitted from such a center when they were on campus.

“Mary almost certainly would have been employed there as a tutor,” Chris said. “She always supported our donations to the University of Colorado, where I received my law degree, so I’m pleased to see her name on a building that will support and expand the learning experiences of so many students as they strive to attain a quality college education.”

Matt Kiederlen Chief of Police kiederlm@uww.edu (262) 472-4660

As Chief of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Police Services Department, I am proud to serve our students, staff, faculty and surrounding community. My philosophy on policing is simple, to gain voluntary compliance through the least restrictive method of intervention possible.

The voluntary compliance of the individual is the only way the law is maintained. It is physically impossible and incongruent with a free society for the police to deter crime and enforce the law

upon every citizen at all times. It is voluntary compliance which maintains order. Enforcement can only be used as a tool to educate, encourage and inform; it will not compel individual change.

We live in a country founded upon the desire for liberty and freedom. Police officers are entrusted with the authority to infringe upon the freedom of the individual based upon their own observation, evidence and belief of what occurred within any given situation. That authority requires the diligent

and respectful application of the law, the protection of society and the weighing of individual rights during every action. We have dedicated ourselves and our lives to the upholding of the rights given to all of us and holding accountable those willing to inappropriately deny those rights.

Our department motto, Honor, Integrity, Service, describes what we strive to be, strive to do and strive to uphold. It also describes the need to honor the office entrusted to us, to be an unbiased observer of the

truth and assist those in need however we can. By so doing, we work to establish a level of communication with our community, which is based upon trust, understanding and respect.

If these are lost we have forfeited something of immeasurable value.

I welcome your input, your thoughts and your involvement in the policing of our community.

Our unified commitment and trust of each other is the greatest assurance of safety our community can have.

Safety on campus and beyond TIPS FROM UW-W CAMPUS POLICE DEPARTMENT

KEEP YOUR DORM ROOM SAFE, SECURE Don’t leave valuables, such as a checkbook, wallet, cash or jewelry, out in plain sight. Secure them inside of a drawer. You should not keep large sums of cash in your room. Open a checking account or get a credit/debit card that will replace the need to have cash on hand.

Lock your residence hall room door, even if you’re only going to the bathroom or away from the area for a few minutes.

Don’t share information about the door combinations with others. The person you tell may be a friend, but you have no idea who they might accidentally tell.

University keys should never be lent to anyone. It’s impossible to determine if they were duplicated.

If you see unusual or suspicious activities, report it immediately to University Police. Pay attention to people you don’t recognize who are on your floor. They may be just friends of someone else, but they also could be looking for an opportunity to steal or vandalize. If you see a crime occurring, call 911 right away! Don’t assume someone else has already called the police.

Report any broken windows, door latches or lights that aren’t functioning to Residence Hall staff. This way the items will get fixed in a timely fashion.

Hang up immediately if you receive an obscene or annoying call. Never reveal personal information or say you’re in your room alone if you don’t recognize the person’s voice. Be suspicious of callers who say they are conducting a survey, inform you that you’ve won a “prize” or request information, such as your credit card number. Log the date and time that the obscene or annoying call was received. Contact University Police for further advice on dealing with this type of call or to investigate repeated calls.

PERSONAL SAFETY Go out with a friend; not alone.

Walking alone, especially at night, is not

a good idea. Always walk purposefully and look confident. Stay alert to your surroundings and the people in the area. During darkness, use the lighted sidewalks and parking lots for your travels and avoid shortcuts on unlit paths or secluded areas.

Be cautious about isolated areas, such as library stacks, remote classrooms or laboratories. When you need to in these areas after normal class hours, make arrangements to work or study with a trusted classmate or friend. Let others know where you’ll be and when you plan on returning.

If you are being harassed by someone who is in a car, walk swiftly or run in the opposite direction to a safe area. If you’re really frightened, scream! It’s better to be embarrassed than assaulted. Try to remember the license plate number of the vehicle.

When socializing, pair up with other friends. Stick together and don’t let a friend go off alone with someone they’ve just met.

Watch for and remember the locations of the various emergency telephones situated around the campus.

PROTECT YOUR STUFF Lock all doors and close all windows when leaving your car, whether it’s for just a few minutes or several hours. Park in well-lit areas and try not to walk alone in parking lots at night.

Store valuables in the car’s truck or, at least, hide them from the view of someone looking through the windows.

Stereo components, cellular phones and radar detectors are favorite items of thieves. Record the serial numbers of these items and secure them when parking your vehicle.

Don’t attach your name or address to your key ring. Keep your car keys on a separate ring from your other keys. Have your keys in your hand when returning to the parked vehicle. Check the interior before entering the car and lock the doors immediately after getting inside of it.

When driving, always keep your gas tank at least half full and make sure the car is in good running condition. If your car breaks down, raise the hood and stay inside the locked vehicle.

Don’t get out of the car if someone stops to help you. Tell anyone who stops to help that someone else has already called the police, but ask them to call again because you don’t know for sure if the other person did make the call. This ruse may make someone think twice about taking advantage of you and those with good intentions will usually make the call “again.” Sound the car’s horn if you are threatened or someone attempts to enter the car.

BIKES ON CAMPUS ALWAYS lock your bicycle to an object, such as a campus bike rack.

However, don’t secure it to stair railing because its presence could hamper the buildings evacuation in an emergency.

Remember to also secure removable wheels or seats.

Immediately report a missing bicycle to the University Police. Unsecured bikes are often taken for rides to other areas of the campus or city. Record the serial number, make and model number of your bike. By providing this information to the police, the bike can be listed on a national database. If the bike is found, it can be returned to you.
