‘Those men in blue’
By STEVE GOBLE
Managing Editor
Sooner or later, it seems,
everyone at A&M makes a pilgrim
age to the basement of the YMCA
Building to greet those men in blue
known throughout America as the
K.K.
Usually that trip to the headquar
ters of the University Police De
partment has something to do with
those manila cards which one occa
sionally finds under the windshield
wiper.
The UP give out about 50,000
parking tickets per year, according
to Police Chief O. L. Luther. Each
ticket starts out as a $5 fine — but if
the ticket isn ’t taken care of in seven
days, a $5 penalty is tacked on.
Those who accumulate too many
delinquent tickets may find their car
immobilized one day.
The UP have a number of Rhino
“immobilizers,” large clamps which
are attached to the wheel of a car.
The victim s delinquent tickets
must be paid at the police station
before the immobilizer is removed.
The clamps aren’t used until the
police catch a violator who has five
or more delinquent tickets, Luther
says. Those who do not have a unit
university parking sticker may be
immobilized for having only three
delinquent tickets.
The immobilizers are also used on
any unauthorized cars parking in
handicapped or disabled parking
spaces or in individual reserved
spaces.
Persons who receive parking tic
kets may tell their stories, if they
have one, to the UP or to the Traffic
Appeals Panel. Students make up
the majority of the panel, which
hears disputes about all traffic and
parking citations.
The parking situation in the inner
campus will be tight, as always,
Luther says, but he thinks that the
new parking lots will provide
enough spaces this year. The prob
lem will be f inding students who are
willing to park in the remote lots.
The neatest way to beat the park
ing hassle and still remain reasona
bly mobile is to ride a bicycle, but
that solution has its interaction with
the UP also.
Any bicycle operated on the
A&M campus must have a $1.50 re
gistration sticker, according to the
university regulations. In return for
the $1.50, the UP file the hike’s se
rial number with the owner’s name
and student identification number,
if the owner is a student.
With the registration, the UP can
quickly return stolen bikes to their
owners — if they recover them.
Last year, about 77 recovered bicy
cles had to be auctioned off because
the UP couldn’t locate the bikes
owners.
Traditionally, very few of the
bicycles operated on the campus are
actually registered with the UP.
The traditional UP response to this
is to set up roadblocks at strategic
locations and ticket several hundred
violators as they try to pass through
on their way to the campus.
The ticket is usually dismissed
when the violator registers his bicy
cle.

Traffic control and parking en
forcement occupies a major part of
the UP business, but the other side
of police work is also part of their
duties.
“We have a few dealings with
family problems and fights, drugs
and alcohol, emergency messages,
hot checks and stolen books,” Sgt.
Wayne Onstott says.
“We had a couple of rapes re
ported last year — both were
cleared by arrest,” he adds.
The UP also have numerous petty
theft calls, mostly for vulnerable
items like bicycles, CB radios and
car stereos. Luther reports that
thieves have also begun striking at
the plants in the planter boxes at the
Memorial Student Center.
The number of theft calls con
tinues to increase and in response
the UP is doubling its investigative
force for four full-time officers this
fall.
The rest of the force includes 26
other uniformed officers — count
ing office personnel, 42 employes in
all. The UP budget for this year is
more than $560,000, with most of
that going for salaries.
The average UP officer is bet
ween 18 and 35 years old and makes
about $9,000 a year. The staff in
cludes two women officers, four
blacks and a Mexican-American of
ficer.
The UP get around the campus
and the other areas for which
they’re responsible (the airport and
various annexes) with four au
tomobiles, four motorscooters and
the ever-reliable shoe leather.
All the officers carry guns.
“The state requires its officers to
carry guns,’’ Onstott explains.
Every UP officer has taken a 240-
hour course in law enforcement and
is a real-life police officer, just like
the ones in any other city.
University regulations have the
force of a city ordinance.
“I can’t remember an officer hav
ing used his gun here,” Onstott
says, “but you never know . . .
The UP have no detention facili
ties, and, with other local law-
enforcement agencies, hold their
prisoners in the Brazos County
jail.
‘That’s the last place we want to
sefe a student from this campus go,”
Luther says. “Sometimes it’s a
necessity but 95 per cent of the time
it’s not.
“An 18, 19, 20-year-old youngster Ud
— maybe he doesn’t realize the
seriousness of things until it’s too
late. Why brand him with a perma
nent record which could affect him
immensely in future years?
“There are exceptions — to me,
one of the worst things a student can
commit is to burglarize a car, steal a
tape deck or other valuables. I think
there’s a difference there,” Luther
“We try to keep drugs off cam
pus,” Onstott says. “Usually the re
sident advisors keep us posted on
who’s using them. If we catch ’em
smoking on campus, we file charges
on ’em.
“Really, a college campus is no
place for marijuana,” Onstott says.
“Alcohol is allowed in the dor
mitories, but it must be in some
kind of a package.
“It looks bad — a visitor driving
through the campus seeing some
body waving a quart bottle,” he
adds. The UP says they aren’t con
cerned with students who don’t
make their drinking an obvious
problem.
