Betty Lemay. a member of the UPD crime prevention team, said the low crime rate can be attributed to the safety prac tices of students, faculty and staff. “Our students, faculty and staff contribute a great deal to making our campus community a safer place.” Lemay said. “The many calls we receive for programs, security surveys and information confirm that. So many organizations have embraced the crime prevention concept. They work closely with our unit and that makes our job much easier.” Lt. Bert Kretzschmar, head of the crime prevention unit, said crime prevention on campus is unique. “A&M has a few things working for its benefit,” Kretzschmar said. “First, A&M has basically a conservative institutional environment. The physical location of A&M is in a rural environment, not urban. This cuts down on crime spilling over from a large city into campus. The university itself is large, but it is centrally located and not scattered.” Much of crime prevention and security comes from the UPD. which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “UPD has 24-hour dispatch, police and security patrols, bike officers, hiring and training personnel, full-time prevention of crime through various programs such as awareness classes in personal safety, self-defense, properly security, alcohol, drugs and related criminal laws,” Kretzschmar said. “We also conduct building security surveys and report our findings and recom mendations to the appropriate departmental representative to enhance their physical security.” For additional information about UPD's special education unit on campus crime, contact UPD at 845-2345.

Along with Mann, the seven-team project, which took only nine weeks, was headed by Robert Douglass, it visiting architecture professor and holder of the Thomas A. Bullock Endowed Chair in Leadership and Innovation, and Joseph J. McGraw. the for mer director of planning for the Kuwait University Health Sciences Center and an archi tecture professor emeritus. “We had students from all over the United States and even some from India, Korea and Indonesia work on this project,” Douglass said. “Once we broke the students into groups which best suited their specialties, they created something that exceeded all of my expectations.” Douglass said a main part of the assignment was to make sure the center blends in with surrounding neigh borhoods. “Indoor and outdoor gar dens, among other things, were created so the patients and local residents would feel comfortable,” he said. In addition to these aesthet ic modifications, the project teams also took advantage of the local train mass-transit sys tem with easy access to and from the medical center.
