students are becoming aware of their environment and making an
effort to report suspicious activity.”
Sgt. 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.
