sure," Baron said.
Baron recommends students engrave
their items with their driver's license num
ber so if something happens to it. it will be
easier to return.
Students leaving their cars on campus
until January need to remove all valuable
items from their vehicles such as cell phones
and CD players. Park the car in a well-light
ed area visible lo olhcrs and make sure it is
locked. Baron said.
Police officers will be patrolling the cam
pus. including parking lots, during the break.
Baron also said that staff members need to
take precautions before leaving their offices.
All portable equipment, tools and computers
should be secured or locked away, he said.
Staff members wanting to work over the
