By NED COMA R.
The men and women in the blue uniforms, who
wear the badge of the University Police, have spent
the summer months biding their time, awaiting the
arrival of the massive student body that makes this
campus come alive every fall. Now that you're here,
let us be among the first to say, "Welcome,' or
"Welcome back," (whichever the case may be).
Since I am the crime prevention officer, I decided
to wise up and make use of the best-read paper in
the world. The Daily Tar Heel, to bring the students
up-to-date on what's happening on campus, and a
few things they should be warned about regarding
security.
If you're a guy, reach for your back pocket and
make sure your wallet is in place. One of the worst
problems we had on campus last season was theft of
wallets. No, we were not under a siege of pickpoc
- kets! These thefts happened because our people car
ried their wallets everywhere they went, and when
they would buy something, leave it on a counter ... .
or find it prodding their back sides while they
slouched in a chair to study. When their conscious
minds would drift back from the depths of curriculum-related
study, or from the Land of Nod, they
would find the wallet that had been laid aside for ,
comfort or from neglect was gone.
To get around this problem, we are going to
recommend that you leave your wallet locked safely
in your room. Take out enough money to get you
through the day, or enough to last until you can get
back to your room. You might need your Student
I.D. card. Some people might want to carry a cou
ple of blank, unsigned checks all tied together
with a money clip, a rubber band, or a paper clip.
You are thus armed for a day's spending, while your
wallet rests safely in your room. Then, when you
are slinking down in that hard chair in the library
for an afternoon's study, there will be nothing to
gouge your rear end, causing you to lose the wallet.
Have you been down into the Bell Tower Parking
Lot lately? Did you notice the little brick building
that has been erected there? This building was built
to provide protection for a security guard who is sta
tioned there in the evenings and into the night. The
idea was to make the place safer for those who-walk
from downtown or from the libraries back to South
Campus. Also, you might notice that some more
lighting has been added in this area. Speak to this
guard every time you pass. His is probably a lonely
lot, and a cheery wave will be appreciated.
There seems to be a new problem cropping up
from time to time around campus. Thieves are get
ting bolder. It is now imperative that you sleep with
your residence hall door locked. If your room is too
cold and you need the heat of the hallway, see if
granny will spare you a quilt. If your room is too
hot and you need a breeze from the hallway, open
your window and put in a fan. Seriously, if you
sleep with your room door unlocked, there is a
chance that someone will hear you snoring and pay
you a nocturnal visit. When you wake, you may
find your stereo, your purse, wallet, calculator or
worst of all your tape collection gone.
"It only takes a couple of seconds
for a determined thief to reach
hisher long, probing, dexterious
fingers into a room, lift something,
and blend into the scenery. "
Of course you already know that the room will
have to be kept locked while you're out of the
room. There have been instances when it was
reported that persons got ripped off while respond
ing to a call by nature. It only takes a couple of
seconds for a determined thief to reach hisher
long, probing, dexterious fingers into a room, lift
something, hide it on their person and blend, like a
chameleon, into the scenery.
Sometimes you will see a person wandering around
your living or study area. You can tell this person by
the shifty eye. You might see an ear swivel 45
degrees, like that of a Tennessee mule, listening for
danger or opportunity. Or, this person may look ex
actly like a fellow student in dress and carriage if
it's possible to describe a typical student stereotype.
When a patrolling police officer sees this person,
there is nothing to make himher stand out from
legitimate residents. But you will know ... from in
stinct, conduct, experience (or some combination).
When this happens, I would advise going to the
nearest phone and. calling the University Police.
They would rather come and trouble the person for
his I.D. card than have to investigate a theft or
worse. An option would be to contact your resident
assistant and see if the R.A. would want to check
the person's I.D. I would not recommend trying to
investigate the person on your own, other than to
ask, "Can I help you find somebody?" This is one
area in which the police really do need your help
Did you manage to get your bike around to one
of the bike registration clinics at the Pit? If you
can't ... or didn't, it's not to worry. The Chapel Hill
Police will register it during working hours week
days. So would any of the fire stations in Chapel
Hill. The University Police will register your bike at
the YMCA, if you will call ahead and arrange an
appointment (or be sure an officer is on hand who
has access to the tools and decals). It's free this year.
According to our statistics, only about four of the
120 bikes stolen last year were registered. Does this
mean that thieves find registered bikes too hot to
mess with?
"It is downright embarrassing to a
police patrolman to find that
someone has broken a car glass,
raised a hood, or jimmied a lock
and ripped off your possessions. "
We have a few engravers to loan out. These little
gadgets, when plugged into an electric outlet, will
write on most anything above water. We loan them
for free, after being assured that you will bring :
them back shortly. A handshake and your word is
all the collateral required. Also, from the statistics,
we notice that precious few items are reported
stolen that have a driver's license inscribed on it.
There must be a good reason for this.
under two conditions: (1) If you love parking cita
tions at the tune of $25.00; or (2) if you want to risk
having your car towed. Seriously, though, you real-,
ly shouldn't' park in a fire lane. Lives are too
precious to take the risk. Who would want such a
thing on their conscience? The cost may not be in
dollars but in lives!
One more hot item and I'll close the sermon and
pass the plate. Parking Lots. I'm not going to say a
word about permits and violations of the parking
regulation. That is mostly the business of the traffic
monitors. I'm speaking about the vulnerability of
your car to vandals and thieves while sitting inno
cently parked on a parking lot. It is downright em
barrassing to a police patrolman to find that some
one has broken a car glass, raised a hood, or jim
mied a lock and ripped off your possessions. We
have cars patrolling the parking lots constantly, try
ing to prevent your car from getting into a statistics
file.
You can help us with this problem without ex
pending a lot of energy or thought. For instance,
when you park and dismount, take a look around
you at other cars. Is anyone working under a raised
hood? Is anyone messing around with a car that has
a bashed glass? Is anyone removing a wheel or
wheels from a car and putting them into a van,
truck or other car? Is there some other unspeci
fiable curiosity that the police really need to know
about? The only thing we would like for you to do
is give us a telephone call as soon as you get to a
phone. Don't, try to ask questions and investigate
yourself. If the activity looks suspicious to you on
the surface; that's reason enough to give us that
' crucial, timely call. Don't break into a run to get to
the phone. Walk normally, but directly. We really
do need your help in this matter.
If there is some way I can be helpful to you as an
individual, a group, or whatever at any time during
your stay at UNC, please call. The same applies to
any of the officers who serve you 24 hours a day in
rain, snow, sleet or shine.
Now for an item of bad news. FIRE LANES. The Ned Comar is the UNC Police crime prevention of
fire lane is the handiest place to park on campus y?cer.

Another part of the decree states that
the government would like to see 10.6 per
cent black enrollment at the white schools
and 15 percent white enrollment at the
black schools by 1986, when the decree
runs out, a goal that University officials
say should be easily attainable.
Black leaders also feel the black-white
percentages will be reached, but it is the
government's attitude that concerns them
the most. Education Secretary Terrell Bell
has made it dear that failure to reach the
proposed totals will not automatically
mean UNC is not fulfilling its promise.
"These numerical goals are set with the
clear understanding that failure to comply
with the agreement," Bell said. "This flex
ibility in goals will ensure that they are
not interpreted as rigid quotas at some
time in the future," he added. ' .
Black Student Movement Chairman
Mark' Canady said this lack of pressure
could hurt desegregation efforts in the
coming years. "There is nothing concrete
in the consent decree," he said. "It really
doesn't do anything and there are no
guarantees. '
"This is not to say that the University
will not work to do something and I'm not
questioning their good faith, but my main
"problem is that there is no pressure,"
Canady added.
Under the terms of the agreement, how
. ever, the University must submit an annual
report to Dupree, reporting on the status
of its desegregation efforts. The govern-.
ment has voluntarily withdrawn from the
administrative law proceedings that began
when former Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare Secretary Joseph Cali
fano attempted to cut off federal aid to
. the UNC system.
Dupree, as judge, will monitor the com
mitments made in the agreement. "Hope
fully there will be no need for the govern
ment to file a (complaint) motion," said
senior Deputy Attorney General Andrew
Vanore, who has worked with UNC law
yers on the case. "We fully intend to honor
every commitment we've made."
Meanwhile, the NAACP will continue
its efforts in the courts, battles that they
have lost three times. Rauh says under the
consent decree the predominantly black
schools are in for some rough times ahead.
"I feel they have been kept back," he
said. "They can be strengthened under
the criteria issued by DHEW, but it's not
being done. We do not fully support all
the governmental guidelines, but they are
100 times better than what we have now."
