The Residence Hall Association
will kickoff a program in February
to see which dorm can best prom
ote security awareness on campus.
The Lock Up and Look Out
project, scheduled for Feb. 15
through Feb. 28, was discussed by
RHA members Thursday night.
“We will make the project into
a contest pairing off dorms
together to see which dorm can do
the best job at promoting security
awareness,” explained Stacy Graf,
RHA external affairs chairman.
Women’s dorms will be paired
with men’s dorms.
She said that based on a point
system, residence halls will be
judged on educational programs
presented to hall residents, the
creativity of the program as well as
the attendance, along with secur
ity awareness projects conducted
with other dorms.
Dorms will compete in pairs to
gain the highest total points. First
prize for the most points accumu
lated will be an all-expense paid
dinner and mixer between the
winning pair of dorms.
“Bicycles, books, jewelry and
car stereo equipment are prime
targets and major items of theft on
campus,” Graf said. “Included in
the annual report presented by
the University Police for the 1980-
81 school year, bicycles were at
the top of the list of reported prop
erty crimes followed by jewelry,
books, radios and televisions.”
Graf stressed the need for stu
dents to secure their property, v
“Register bicycles, insure valu
ables, mark driver’s license num
bers on televisions and stereo
equipment, lock doors and report
anything stolen to police immedi
ately,” she suggested.
In other business, RHA mem
bers spoke in favor of continued
assistance to cable companies in
residence halls on the north side of
campus. Hall council representa
tives collect all money from resi
dence halls for service in dorms,
take it to local cable companies
and receive a discount for doing
so.
In contrast, residence halls in
the Commons Housing Complex
set up tables for students to sign
contracts with cable companies.

Traveling in Europe is not as
ostly as it seems, and anyone that
as a chance should do it.
That was the message of the
Europe on Your Own” seminar
|resented by MSC Travel Com-
littee and the Study Abroad
Office.
Tom Ryan, chairman of MSC
ravel, said travelers should be
ware of several things while in
Europe — pickpockets, rain, lack
of laundry facilities and the fre
quency of four-day holidays when
cry thing closes, usually when a
>ank is needed most.
Ryan said if a Eurailpass is
tried 4 [tsed, the traveler shouldn’t carry
to lonelij
hang H
i. Eaclitl
:1 mistrusjl
h no ouir
luggage because even the kind on
wheels won’t work well getting on
and off trains. A backpack, is tbe
best way to carry belongings, he
said.
Gennie Saylak, a representa
tive of Executive Travel, Inc. said
to apply for a passport — which is
needed before a Eurailpass can be
purchased — the potential Euro
pean traveler can fill out a form
from either the passport office in
Houston or the City-County
Building in Bryan.
Two pictures and a birth certifi
cate are needed for the passport,
she said.
“It’s a good idea to get two extra
pictures and make a xerox copy of
your birth certificate in case you
lose your passport while travel
ing,” she said. “Because without
it, you can’t get anywhere.
“If you take a valuable camera
with you, I suggest you chain it to
your wrist while you sleep.”
Travelers checks are the best
way to carry money, she said. \

ing foreign exchange rates.
Gene Alford, a senior biomedic
al science major, advised travelers
to stay in pensiones where low-
priced, clean rooms could bo
found.
A diary is vital to a clear mem
ory of your trip, Alford said. Ho
said he would treasure the diary
he kept during his trip for the rest
of his life.
