In the ceremony, each de

“here.”

Reports of theft down since November
‘Security awareness’ deters theft
By CATHIE FEIGHL
Battalion Reporter
Thefts have been reduced in
Briggs Hall since the initiation of a
security awareness program last
November. Only two incidents of
stolen money have been reported
by Briggs residents in the past two
months.
Last semester Briggs experi
enced a large number of jewelry
and money thefts. Often thefts
were reported two or three times a
week, John White, assistant area
coordinator for Briggs and
Spence, said.
White said he and Briggs head
resident Patty Johnson wanted the
t residents to be more aware oflock-
ing their doors and protecting
their valuables to deter thefts.
With the cooperatioon of the Uni
versity Police, White and Johnson
held a seminar in November to
involve residents in security
awareness.
The University Police told resi
dents to mark all valuables with
their identification number, to
change large amounts of cash into
money orders or cashier’s checks
— and to lock their doors.
Johnson said most of the resi
dents are cautious about leaving
doors locked now, but some need
to remember to lock their doors
even when walking next door.
White said the response to
security awareness has been good.
He hopes to create the same type
of awareness for Spence Hall resi
dents this semester.
