Officers escort women

NT adds new service for safety
-*3
The NT police department is sponsoring
an escort service for women on campus
this semester, Ben Day, NT public serv-
ice officer, said Sunday.
“Our goal is to provide a safer envi-
ronment for unescorted women on cam-
pus,” Day, superviser of the program,
said.
Escorts are available from 6 p.m. to
11 p.m. Monday through Friday and from
8 p.m. to midnight on Sunday.
“Police escorts will actually be avail-
able anytime day or night. All a woman
has to do is call the police station and
she can get an escort,” Day said. “The
escort service is on a schedule that we
think works in with the heaviest concen-
tration of nighttime traffic. Night classes
and labs are over by then and most peo-
ple will be leaving the library and com-
puter science labs by then."
The escorts are public service officers,
and. Day said, they have tan uniforms
“so they will be distinquished between
the NT police officers.”
The public servants are NT students
employed by the police department as
non-commissioned officers, Day said.
The public servants do not carry guns,
but carry two-way radios for communi-
cation with the police dispatcher.
“This service did not come about be-
cause we have a particular problem with
safety,” he said, “but because wc want
to prevent any problems from happening.
This is sort of a crime prevention tool."
The service is free, but is available to
women on campus only. “That s the one
drawback of the program, but providing
it to women on campus is a good begin-
ning.” Day said.
Escorts may be obtained by calling the
police department at 565-3000 or
565-3001, he said.

A revised shuttle bus system was put
to work Monday, with two buses and 11
stops on the route, Ben Day, NT public
service officer and superviser of the pro-
gram, said.
The new system includes stops on the
west and north sides of campus where
The slide show presentation will give students an
idea of the school, and of activities they will be in-
volved in. The school students will attend is the Amer-
ican College of Switzerland. Students recieve NT
credits and arc taught by NT faculty.
While in Switzerland, students will have the op-
portunity to travel to various sites which will help
them become more aware of their lieid of study, he
said.
For example, Hebda said, students in the political
science program will visit the headquarters of
NATO and the Common Market. Students in the art
program will visit museums and other places of cul-
tural importance in Paris, Rome and Florence.
After Thursday’s slide presentation Bill McCarter
of the art department will discuss the art program
offered and its opportunitites for students.
This is the second year this program has been
offered, Hebda said.

many students live in apartment com-
plexes, Day said.
The shuttle bus makes five off-campus
stops and six on-campus stops. The off-
campus stops are Avenue E at Stella
Street, Avenue G at Stella Street, Ave-
nue H at Louise Street, Hickory Street
at Avenue H. and Hickory Street at Av-
enue F. The on-campus stops arc at the
University Union, the Auditorium Builing.
the PE Building and the Fouts Field
parking lot.
“I would estimate that once it gets
going, each run will take about 15 min-
utes.” he said. “Driving it without any
stops takes about seven minutes, so with
with stops added in will probably take
twice as long."
Day said the police department has had
a positive response to the program this
semester and attributes it to the new stops.
“People don't have to walk as far as they
did last semester and it's much more con-
venient." he said.
The police department sold I89 shut-
tle bus passes at registration.
“I was hoping to sell 200 at regixtra
tjon, but we came elose and I think once
everyone gets tired of lighting lor parking
spaces we will sell a lot more, he said
"The shuttle bus should help cliviatc some
of the parking problem wc have at NT"
Semester passes for Ihe shuttle bus are
available at the Sullivant Center (NT po-
lice department) and cost $10. Day said.
