City, county, and state police along with federal agencies have joined with Notre Dame Security to monitor the In­ ternational Summer Special Olympics Games this week. “Several agencies will be assisting Security to provide additional patrols on the roads adjacent to campus,” said Phil Johnson, assistant director of Se­ curity. No changes in jursidictions have been made, however, because the juris­ dictions of outside agencies already overlap that of Notre Dame Security. Security is closing some sections of road around campus and is moving its “checkpoints” to locations further from campus. Notre Dame Avenue will be closed at Angela and a checkpoint will be estab­ lished there so that the main gate is essentially moved further down the road, Johnson said. Juniper Rd., which was renamed Olympic Drive during the Games, will be closed north of Edison. Another Se­ curity checkpoint will be established at Olympic Dr. and Bulla.

“We need to do everything we can to enhance pedestrian safety,” Johnson said. He added that athletes and visitors, many of whom are not at all familiar with the area, would be spared having to deal with the heavy vehicular traffic which is common on those roads. Most athletes will have to cross Olym­ pic Dr. to move between their dorms and athletic sites. Vehicles on official business will be allowed throught the checkpoints, while The Observer/Suzanne Poch most traffic will be channeled into After traveling thousands of miles, many Special Olympians enjoy relaxing in the summer sun Green Field.
