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?”

18 F-16s capable of dropping
laser-guided bombs and 14 C'
130 gunships being dispatched
from Pope Air Force Base in
North Carolina to bolster the
more than 100 aircraft now in
the region.
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

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.”
