are two items that
will be addressed
during the campus
Crime Prevention
Month this October.

vention, they usually only think
of us,” Lemay said. “Sometimes,
they maybe should even talk to a
counselor so they can let it all out.
“Victims are often left feeling
angry.”
Crime prevention includes
being aware of three basic prin
cipals, Lemay said. There is
someone with the ability to com
mit a crime; there is someone
with the desire to commit a
crime, and there is someone
with the opportunity to commit
a crime, she said.
The University Police De
partment, in conjunction with
various campus awareness
groups, is gearing up as Crime
Prevention Month begins.
Crime Prevention Month is ob
served nationwide every October.
Throughout the month, UPD and
other campus groups will sponsor
various crime prevention pro
grams and workshops.
Sgt. Betty Lemay of the UPD
Crime Prevention Unit said the
month is beneficial because not
only do students learn how to
prevent being a victim of a
crime, they learn who they can
turn to for help.
“When they think of crime pre-
"Crime prevention is simply looking
at a crime risk and taking some type
of active role in eliminating or re
ducing the chance for that crime to
occur.'
— Sgt. Betty Lemay
UPD Crime Prevention Unit
Students often give criminals
that opportunity, Lemay said.
“Crime prevention is simply
looking at a crime risk and taking
some type of active role in elimi
nating or reducing the chance for
that crime to occur,” she said.
“The main thing is making the in
formation available.
“We don’t want anyone to be
caught off guard.”
One of the programs taking
place this month will be a bicy
cle identification program spon
sored by UPD and AggieLand
Cycles. Students can regislor
their bikes with UPD by having
their driver’s license number
engraved upon them.
The bike engraving will take
place Oct. 17 at Rudder Fountain.
Later in the month, there will
also be a Safety
Awareness Fair in
which several
campus groups
will set up booths
featuring some
aspect of crime
awareness and
prevention.
Laura Bertel-
son, coordinator of
Women’s Pro
grams in the De
partment of Student Life and
head of Aggies Working for a
Rape-Free Environment, said one
area her groups will be address
ing is domestic violence.
“My angle on it is that relation
ship violence and sexual assault
are criminal acts althougl
victims often blame then®;
she said.
One of the goals of her
is to raise awareness abo
mestic violence. They %
stress that not only is
right, but that there are
victims can go to for help,
“Battery is the mainrti
women go to the emergency
but crimes against womeni
ten perpetuated in such
that the woman feels ashar-i
responsible,” Lemay said.
Nancy Magnusson,
Women in Science and
ing, said her group also is
ing on domestic abuse.
WISE will sponsor
on domestic violence on
in 105 Halbouty at 1 p.t
speaker is Mitzi Zoracheli
the Houston Area Wo«
Center.
“What we’re doingis;
calling October ‘Worn
Health Month,’” she s
"We’re hoping we cam
women more aware.”
Magnussen said shell
the speaker will addressi;
victims of domestic abusi
turn to because it is impor
that they get help.

Five die in crash of B-26 Martin Maraudei
□ Vintage World War
II bomber crashes
while practicing for
an air show in
Odessa.
ODESSA(AP) — A vintage
B-26 bomber, once reviled dur
ing World War II as a “widow
maker,” crashed and burned
Thursday in a rural oil field,
killing all five crew members.
The camouflage-painted
Martin Marauder, part of the
Confederate Air Force, went
down south of Odessa at 10:56
a.m., the Federal Aviation Ad
ministration said.
“Our people on the scene are
saying there’s a pretty good scat
tering of wreckage. There were
no survivors,” said Texas Depart
ment of Public Safety spokesman
Mike Cox in Austin.
Witnesses told authorities
they heard a sputtering sound
and saw the plane nose-dive to
the ground.
One burning engine came to
rest on an above-ground pipeline,
part of an oilfield flow line that
transfers oil from a well to a stor
age facility. The line was shut off
after the accident and there was
no explosion.
The bomber was practicing
for an air show this weekend
at nearby Midland Interna
tional Airport, where the Con
federate Air Force is based.
The CAF gave the DPS a
list of five men seen getting on
the airplane, Cox said. No ages
or identities were immediately
available, although authorities
said the victims included two
men from England, one from
FMorida and one each from
Harlingen and El Paso.
The bodies were taken to
Lubbock for identification by
dental records, Cox said.
Officials at the CAF head
quarters did not immediately
release any information about
the crash.
The airport. National
Transportation Safety Board
and Federal Aviation Adminis
tration also had no immediate
information about the crash,
but said investigators were.en
route to the site.
The plane that crashed-
have been the last of its
still flying, said Ben Kristy,®
tor of the Cavanaugh Flight!'
seurn at Addison Airport.
“It’s been on the air si:
circuit for a number of yea's long friends

undergone major wings]
