As we are concluding the first five weeks of the semester, it seems timely to remind everyone that we have neighbors living on adjacent streets to the campus. While it is true that the University owns some of the houses, and many of the homes on Warrensville Center Road are being rented by students, it is also true that there are families living along these streets. Some families include young children, some include elderly members, and most include one or two working adults. These households are not on the same schedule as most students keep. Please remember what it means to be a good neighbor and remind each other of the responsibilities we have as residents of University Heights. Consideration of our neighbors as we travel to and from campus on foot is critical to maintaining an amicable relationship with them. Considerate behavior includes respecting property, keeping voices at a conversational level, refraining from using vulgar language, and refraining from congregating in a large group on these pathways. Permanent neighbors have witnessed an increase in students who are intoxicated, extremely loud, vulgar with language, disrespectful of property, and insensitive to family schedules. They expect to have lawns free from trash, a good night’s sleep that is not interrupted, and conversations with students that are respectful and sincere. Another issue is drunken behaviors. We all know that consuming heavy amounts of alcohol impairs judgment and can lead to injury, violence, sexual assault, and a decline in academic progress. Drinking underage and/or irresponsibly off campus does matter to this community. An individual’s decision to engage in drunk and disorderly conduct affects the entire community. It is wrong to assume that we are not responsible to each other and for our choices when we are off campus. Our actions reflect our character and effect our reputation as individuals and as a university. It is not enough to be men and women for others Monday through Friday during the day, when it fits into our schedules, or when it is convenient to be so. The University has high expectations of community members, including students, in regard to behavior. We expect that everyone in our John Carroll community exhibits respect for themselves and respect for each other. In addition, we expect behavior to be respectful of our neighbors in all of our surrounding cities, most immediately the cities of University Heights and Shaker Heights. The overwhelming majority of the John Carroll University community is respectful of our neighbors and consistently acts as responsible citizens. Please join us in showing care for the safety of students, our relationship with the residents of University Heights and Shaker Heights, and the reputation of the University. We appreciate the community’s thoughtful concern about these issues and are hopeful that together we will achieve positive outcomes. Respect remains the key to our success.

Ryan Kelly Staff Reporter

In its mission statement, John Carroll University strives to help students “excel in learning, leadership and service in the region and in the world.” Zoltán Bugnyár, a master’s student in com- munications management, is a prime example of fulfilling this goal. Bugnyár, a native Hungarian, came to JCU in January 2005 to continue his com- munications education. He studied as an undergraduate and earned his first masters degree in Hungary. Afterwards he started working full-time as an editor and reporter for two magazines and later for the Hungarian National Catholic Radio. During his work, he learned about the opportunity to study in the States. “I learned about the opportunity while I was on duty as a reporter,” Bugnyár said. “I was sent to a fund-raiser dinner by my boss, but when I got there, I learned about this communications scholarship in Cleveland. I did a little research and made a quick deci- sion that I really wanted to do it; I wanted to gain some experience abroad, and in the communications field, the U.S. is the best place to study.” Within three months, he applied for the Photo courtesy of Zoltan Bugnyar scholarship, quit his job, obtained his Visa, This photo was taken of Zoltán Bugnyár in Budapest in front of the House of Parliament on the Danube River. and passed the Graduate Record Examination, a test foreign students are required to take. “I was picked up at the airport that night ism, because that was not encouraged at all I think it made them realize that money isn’t thesis,” he said. when I arrived in Cleveland and JCU was during the time of Socialism,” he explained. everything for people to be happy.” “I am here in Cleveland through May for the first part of America I saw in daylight,” “Party leaders told people what to do for free, Bugnyár’s religious calling goes back to Campus Ministry.

Under a federal law, these institutions must report information. Not complying can result in a $27,500 fine per vio- lation. At John Carroll University, crime and incidents have not been reported or updated on the campus Web site since August 9. . The University needs to update its crime logs so that the most recent information is made public. They also must compensate for the inability to access information online. The website has not been updated due to a programming problem with the software capabilities. Although JCU has a paper copy of the crime log in the Campus Security Office, little is done to make this information more timely and accessible to the student body. A log can be found in The Carroll News, but these reports are only weekly and do not include the most up to date information. Plus, the paper does not come out in the summer months. Keeping this information inaccessible and outdated makes tracking crime more difficult. It also makes of- fenses harder to prevent—students and faculty are unaware of incidents that can cause harm to them and may not take proper precautions. Last year a student was just down the hall when his laptop was stolen from his room. Prior information could have prevented this from happening. This can be easily corrected by sending a crime log out in the NOTABLE QUOTABLE all-student webmail or sending a daily campus-wide e-mail. If the Campus Safety Services Web site is unable to post informa- tion at the current time, a blog could be created to inform people. Also, something as simple as a bulletin board in the atrium with the crime log and incidents on it would help educate the JCU “Do not the most moving moments of our community about their safety and ways to protect themselves. Editorial lives find us without words? ”
