To Mr. Scott Hopkin and/ or Kevin Fotovich: In reference to the safety problem at JSU (according to your article from 23 October 97), the headline itself is wrong, it should say Campus Security. Also, you have written the article and make it sound as if the University Police is not doing its job, even with the comments from D/C Tubbs. In the article you say that a foot locker, a watch, a pair of prescription glasses were stolen and two of the three items have been recovered, but you failed to say that all three of these items were left unattended and unsecured. In reality, these victims were just giving an opportunity to a thief to take property. We don't have numerous lectures on Crime and Rape Prevention, drug and alcohol awareness and many others to JSU personnel and it is usually taken with the same old saying: "ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME." I'm usually a speaker for these lectures, and even when I am talking, I can hear some of the student making the comment or saying what a bore it's going to be listening to me. Crime Prevention is a community affair and as such, it's everyone's responsibility to do their part in order to protect our property, our community and being security wise.
