Crime? ' dd~ 10 What·Crime? prorectll

A few times every semester, the current receives phone calls or so­ meone drops in to complain about the effectiveness of the police depart­ ment. Those people might be glad to know that there is a bill in Con­ gress that would require campuses to provide crime statistics as part of public record. . The movement in MissoUli started at Southwest Missouri State Univer­ sity and has spread to other campuses. All the complaints and the legisla­ tion makes one wonder if this campus is really as saf~ as police reports claim it to be. [tseems unlikely that the UM-St. Louis campus should have such low and minor crime reports when the communities surrounding the university are noted for their frequent and often violent crimes. When people ask why nothing was reported about an assault in the paper, all one can say is that no report was made. The UM~St. Louis oI do ,f? police department reported to the Current last year that only 64 crimes were reported on campus. Director of the Police Department John L. Well;h ,.h,·~ or rna /J Pickens was quoted as saying that we have a very low crime rate. Many sec vrl'~ ';_ people have asked the Current why the police carry guns if there is no crime on campus. The fact is that there IS crime on campus. The police SHOULD carry guns, otherwise we have nothing but a token force of ticket writers. The problem comes in wheri people don't report the crimes to the police. If crimes are reported and not recorded, then there is a problem. The Current would Like to know if the statistics match the facts. Do we have a crime problem on campus? What kind of crimes happen here? [fstudents feel that the police'are not doing their jobs; then it is up to the students to apply pressure to make sure police protection is up to par: If you have had problems on campus, call us, write a letter or stop by the office.
