Awareness Continued from Page 1 man, who has been at the CSPD for 30 years, said crime in College Station comes and goes in cycles. “This is not the worst it has ever been,” Feldman said. “What is different about the murders happening this year is that five have occurred in 11 weeks.” Although overall crime has decreased 1 percent this year, vi olent crime has increased. Despite the increase in violent crime Feldman said College Sta tion is a safe place to live. Howev er, with an increase of people moving to Bryan-College Station he said crime will increase. Cindy Casares, a sophomore biomedical science major, said she was distressed to hear about Baker’s murder. She thinks College Station is a comparatively safe city, but also says women on campus need to be cautious. Casares said she is taking a self-defense class at A&M and feels more secure now. “I think we are too sheltered here, and that is not necessarily good,” Casares said. “We need to get back to reality. “It should not have to take something like this to make people react, but it was a wake- up call.” She said the University is do ing a good job of dealing with Baker’s murder by having stu dent counseling available. Dr. Ted Stachowiak, associate director of the Student Counsel ing Center, said the center has received many calls in this last two weeks from students re questing counseling services for problems related to the murder. He said counselors have been busy calling people who could have been affected by the murder. “The response has been very positive,” Stachowiak said. “Our number one priority is to make help available to people if a crisis comes up.” Alii Chambers, a sophomore psychology major, said hearing about the murder of a student made her stop and think about her safety. It has also made par ents and friends more aware. “My parents have called a lot more now, they also send me clip pings of articles they see in the paper, a lot of friends at other schools have called to make sure I was all right,” Chambers said. “It didn’t just scare me but it also scared my friends too.” Some students said they have not altered their lives since they heard about the murder. Anna Paprkar, a freshman general studies major, said she thinks College Station is a safe place to live and does not think about what happened. “I don’t think about it,” Pa prkar said. “I don’t think it will happen to me.” Chad King, a senior business administration major, said he "I think we are too sheltered here, and that is not necessarily good. We need to get back to reality." — Cindy Casares, fieshm biomedical science mjm thinks College Station is eat but is still in shock that it w® a college student who commii ted murder. “It made it even harder bt cause I knew Ron Shamburger' King said. “He was someone I trusted m girlfriend to ride in a car with.” King said he has been too bus to change his lifestyle but is stii in shock about the murder. “It was such a shock,” he sail “Ron was mild mannered ant would have been the last persor in a room full of people you would pick to do it.” Casey Conklin, a senior man agement major and president ol Kappa Alpha Theta sorority said she told her sorority sista to be more careful, but did not want to create paranoia. “I told everyone to be more cautious, but I still think wt have to live our lives and not bf paranoid,” Conklin said. “We just need to be careful." ‘If I am virtuous and worthy, for whom should I not maintain proper concern?” CONFUCIUS a The first point of courtesy must always be truth?

Also, KC-10 and KC-135 tankers, AWACs radar planes and C-141 transports were also being sent, military officials said, But Perry also noted that two of Iraq’s premier Republi can Guard units were still mov ing into position, and would not be ready to mount a strike against Kuwait until the endoi the week. Asked whether U.S. forces might attack Baghdad, Perry de clined to answer, saying only, “We’re prepared to respond with robust force, and we would be "We're prepared to re spond with robust force, and we would ne very successful in that response ... If the Iraqis enter Kuwait, they will be soundly defeated." — William Perry, aej secretdrj very successful in that response, ... If the Iraqis enter Kuwait, they will be soundly defeated.” Top administration officials left no doubt they intended to be ready, no matter what action Iraq took. “We are not going to allow the mistakes of the past to be repeated,” White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He said Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein “shouldn’t underestimate the resolve or the will of the U.S.” “It could be an invasion. It could be just bluster. It could be a threat,” Panetta said of Iraq’s movements. Secretary of State Warren Christopher, speaking in Jerusalem, noted that in 1990, Iraq’s leader "showed himself to be a master of miscalcula tion, and he may prove to be again. But I wish he would step back and see what he might have learned from hie miscalculation.” But Ross Perot, the former presidential candidate, accused Clinton on Sunday of engineer ing the troop buildup for politi cal gain. “The White House wants military action to show the strength of the president,” Per ot said on CBS. “It is rotten. It is wrong.” Appearing on CBS’s “Face The Nation,” Perry said more than 60,000 Iraqi troops have been positioned along Kuwait's northern border. Perry said equipment from Camp Pendleton was already on the way to the gulf by ship so U.S. military leaders would have the option of moving troops to the gulf by air later, "if the crisis still continues.” A
