Our exclusive size of just under 700 students and small-town/rural location help make Eureka College one of the safest campuses in the nation. As a matter of fact, the College was recognized as one of the 2016 safest colleges in the state by B ackgroundChecks. org. Safety is a top priority and we ensure that our policies, actions and organizational structure reflect that. For example, the Title IX Coordinator is one of my direct reports and we have frequent and standing meetings. In addition, we have an Inclusive Excellence Team comprised of internal and external experts in aspects of diversity and inclusion. In addition, Eureka College has a contractual partnership with the City of Eureka Police Department to provide safety and security. Founded by abolitionists affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Chiist) in 1855, Eureka College exists to cultivate excellence in learning, service, and leadership and our inclusive, close-knit community, allows us to create a unique and fulfdling liberal arts educational experience. With a student- faculty ratio of only 12:1 and over 40 student clubs and organizations, we are able to provide a level of personalized attention to growth and transformation that results in an impressive list of student outcomes and achievements. Eureka has such a long and rich tradition of developing leaders, including 42 college presidents, seven governors and members of Congress, and the 40* President of the United States, Ronald Wilson Reagan (Class of 1932). Wliile Eureka College addresses the safety of its students and takes proactive steps to educate students and make them aware of their surroundings, we do not ignore the fact that we cannot exist in a bubble. The information contained in this report is provided to promote awareness and supply the most accurate and timely information about the safety of not only Eureka College but the surrounding area. Please use this infonnation to become more infonned about our campus and community, and to partner with us to keep Eureka College the safe and nourishing environment that it is for our students. Sincerely, Jamel Santa Cruze Wright, Ph.D. 3 ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT The following is the Eureka College Annual Security Report. This report is published in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act ("Clery Acf), the State of Illinois Campus Security Enhancement Act, and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The report includes the College's policies, procedures, and programs concerning safety, security, alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, and the reporting of crimes. This report contains statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occuiTed on campus and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from College property. CAMPUS SECURITY Eureka College contracts through the Eureka City Police Department for campus security. Through this contract, the city provides Eureka College with a trained city police officer to serve an eight hour shift on campus seven nights per week, 365 days per year. During this shift, the police officer will provide the College with an electronic log report detailing all occuiTences while on duty, including times when each building was checked and/or locked, as well as additional reports when warranted. If any police reports are generated during a shift, they are received by the Office of Student Life at the College within 1 week of the incident. The Eureka Police will also patrol through campus in a marked vehicle (provided by the city), walk thi'ough the residence halls at least once per night with 2 members of the Resident Advisor (RA) staff, be available as a student escort, and be available to assist in any incidents that arise. The officer can be contacted thi-oughout their shift on a College owned cell phone ((309) 339-0321) that is posted throughout campus. When needed, the other city police officers will serve as back up to the campus officer. If the College needs assistance from the Police during day hours, the College will contact Eureka Dispatch for assistance at (309) 467-2375. CRIME REPORTING PROCEDURES Eureka College enjoys a safe and secure environment where crime reporting is low and safety and security are a high priority. In the event that someone witnesses a criminal act or is in fear of his or her safety, the individual can contact 911 via any campus or cellular phone. Additionally, the College security may be contacted via cell phone as well. TIMELY WARNINGS As stated previously, it is the policy of Eureka College to comply with the Campus Security Act (Clery) of 1990. In addition to other provisions, the Clery Act requires timely warnings to be made to the college community in the event of a significant emergency or dangerous situation occurring on the campus which involves an immediate thi'eat to the health or safety of students or employees. In the event a situation arises, it is the responsibility of the College administration to 4 issue a campus-wide timely warning. The warning will be issued primarily thfough text messaging or email notification, dependent upon the nature of the emergency. ACCESS TO CAMPUS FACILITIES During normal business hours (Monday through Friday 8am-5pm), all academic buildings and several residence halls are open to students, staff, faculty, and visitors. While some buildings may only remain open Monday through Friday 8am-5pm, others may have more flexible hours depending on the needs of the specific buildings as well as any scheduled events that may be taking place. Residence halls that are locked during the day are only accessible to those students who reside there. Academic buildings and all residence halls are checked periodically tln-oughout the evening and locked by the Eureka City Police and/or the Residence Life Staff. During College breaks, the College will only permit access to the residence halls to those that have received prior approval. All buildings remain locked during College breaks. Eureka College employs all maintenance staff and contracts thi-ough Vonachen Services, Inc. for housekeeping services. Other work can also sometimes be contracted out to outside vendors such as pest control or contractor work. Outside vendors and contractors always check in with the Physical Plant before begiiming any work on campus. Students, staff, and faculty should immediately notify the Office of Student Life at (309) 467-6420 or the Eureka City Police (309) 467-2375 if they have any doubts about the authenticity of anyone performing any work in or outside of any buildings on campus. Landline phone access is available in many common areas on campus, including every residence hall lounge. Anyone may utilize these phones to contact 911, if necessary, at any time. CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AT OFF CAMPUS STUDENT ORGANIZATION EVENTS While Eureka College does not provide law enforcement services at off campus student organization events, students are still expected to abide by all campus policies when attending an off campus event as a student organization. The College alcohol policy does address policies for off campus events. If an emergency occurs at any off campus event, 911 should be immediately contacted. Non­ emergency situations should be called in to the local police department, depending upon where the event is located. The College maintains a positive relationship with the local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. Any police reports generated within the Eureka city limits, even though they are not on campus, will still be forwarded to the Office of Student Life within 1 week of the incident. CRIME PREVENTION AND SECURITY AWARENESS PROGRAMS All new employees, including student resident assistants (RA's), receive a hard copy of Eureka College's Title IX policy and are required to complete the 75-minute face-to-face Title IX 5 Training as a condition of employment at Eureka College. The training session is facilitated by the Title IX Coordinator or the Deputy Title IX Coordinator and includes statements that prohibit sexual discrimination of any kind and the requirement that notification of any known or believed discrimination be reported to the Title IX Coordinator within 24 hours. Definitions and examples of the types of sexual discrimination and consent are provided during the presentation as well as a detailed explanation of the College's policies, procedures, and processes for addressing known or believed cases of sexual discrimination. The training also includes a discussion about national campaigns like It's on Us to encourage bystanders on ways to safely intervene. Contact information for the Title IX Coordinator and Deputy Coordinator are provided as well as on- and off-campus confidential resources.

This E-Book was created by some of our best researchers who traveled the web from east to west and from north to south to find and compile some of the best drinking games that will keep your party alive and going. Enjoy!! Party Like Sophia 1 of 75 Game #1: Beer Pong What you need: Ping pong table Pack of ping-pong balls Pack of 16oz plastic cups How to play: You can play beer pong in teams of one or two players. You will need to set up two formations of 10 cups on either end of the ping-pong table. The cups should form a triangle, similar to how balls are racked at the beginning of a game of pool. Fill each cup with roughly three to four ounces of beer. Each team stands on either side of the table. The goal is to toss a ping- pong ball into one of the cups on the opposing team’s side. You can toss the ball directly into a cup, and the opposing team is not permitted to try to swat the ball away. Or, for an easier shot, you can bounce the ball when you toss it, but in this scenario, the opposing team is permitted to try to swat the ball away. When a ball lands in a cup, a member of the opposing team has to drink it.

This preoccupation with ‘binge’ drinking amplifies moral panics surrounding youth alcohol consumption whereby consideration of the social and cultural nuances of pleasure that give meaning to young people’s excessive drinking practices and values has been given little priority. This sociological study explores how young drinkers regulate their drinking practices through levels of agency which is informed by values linked to the pursuit of pleasurable intoxication alongside friendship groups in a variety of drinking settings.

    Losers' Night Out by James J Cartwright 772 E Tujunga Ave Unit E Burbank CA, 91501 443.417.8097 EXT. SUBURBAN HOUSE - DAY A gorgeous house rests above an expansive front lawn; the greenest grass, landscaped beautifully. A gaggle of girls in flowing evening dresses pour out the front door; they giggle and laugh. From the side a tidal wave of parents. Over enthusiastic fathers snap pictures rapidly. Suddenly, a gang of well dressed boys in tuxedos flank the crowd. The boys playfully punch and wrestle with one another mocking each other’s groomed appearance. Pairs of boys and girls exchange corsages and boutonnieres as flashes continue to light up the front yard. The sounds on an old vehicle and rock music rattle in the distance. EXT. STATION WAGON A rusty, wooden paneled Station Wagon rolls down the quiet neighborhood; music blasts from inside. The car looks days away from retirement. BART (V.O.) Hold up, Stop the car! The Station Wagon screeches to a halt. INT. STATION WAGON The four passengers inside slam into the seats/dashboards in front of them. The car is occupied by four young males. BART WARBURTON (18), shaggy, unkempt rides in the back seat behind the passenger side. He wears his signature solid green army jacket and dark t- shirt. BART Gavin what was that? DERRICK WINTERS (17) riding shot gun, turns his attention to the driver. The most simple dressed of the group; it’s a safe bet that Derrick shops primarily at Target. 2.
