Police; vacant apartments easy target
BY CHRISTINA KOPP
STAFF WRITER
Before leaving for Fall Break on
Wednesday, students might want to do
more than just lock their doors. Police
are advising students to take precautions
during the break to make sure their homes,
apartments or residence hall rooms stay
safe.
Although burglaries are not necessar
ily limited to one time of year, break-ins
to student residences during Fall Break
are significant, said Lt. Everett Johnson
of the Community Service Division of
the Chapel Hill police. Johnson suggested
locking valuables such as jewelry, video
cassette recorders and stereos in storage.
Also, students should ask friends stay
Navigating sites key to Fall Break road trips
Tomorrow marks the event we’ve
patiently been waiting for—Fall
Break. Four days of rest and re
laxation. For those who’ve waited until
the last minute to make excursion plans,
don’t fear.
There are ways to get out of town, and
web sites exist to help you get the hell out
of Dodge.
Tobegin, a destination must be picked.
Whether surprising a friend at his or her
respective college or road tripping to
Graceland, City. Net at http://
www.dty.net provides lists of the top 25
U.S. dries to visit. A featured destination
guides the undecided. This week’s pick:
San Jose, Calif.
Once you’ve selected your rity, the
site offers a “menu” of food and drinks,
travel and sights, accommodations and
the weather to give insight on what to
expect. Links to the local media also
detail rity happenings.
To navigate to the chosen adventure
target, Map Quest at http://
www.mapquest.oom maps out how to
get from Point A to Point B via the
interstates. Approximate mileage and
more detailed maps of the origin and
destination ensure that the direction
senseless arrive without a hitch.
Upon arrival, the traveler might have
a more spedfic site in mind to head
towards. Mapßlast at http://
www.mapblast.oom locates a detailed
street map from almost any street ad
dress in the United States.
Enter the address request, or even just
the crossroads, and a friendly “you are
here” tag pops up on a street map that can

Randy Weber, property manager of
Highland Hills Apartments off of BPW
Club Road in Carrboro, said although
there is not usually a problem with break
ins at Highland Hills, the complex has
several security guidelines. All renters
are advised to acquire renters’ insurance,
secure all doors and windows and re
move valuables from their apartments
when they leave for break.
Weber said having a timer for lamps in
front windows or other visible places is
also a good idea. Leaving a car in one of
the assigned parking spaces in order to
keep the appearance of occupancy also
helps deter theft, he said.

can be e-mailed to someone or can be
inserted into a personal home page.
If the journey takes the explorer to a
large rity, the subway navigator at http: /
/metro .jussieu.fr: 10001 /bin/cities/
english gives the new visitor routes in
places like Atlanta, Philadelphia, Wash
ington, D.C., and other international lo
cations.
While the Paris Metro or the London
Underground might not be on the agenda
for Fall Break, the station-to-station list is
helpful for the domestic cities.
After submitting the beginning and
ending points, a list of each stop and
estimated travel time is spit out.
At some stations, a link serves to pro
vide extra information about sights
around the station. A graphic map repre
sentation also lays out a route.
For those who are heading overseas
and are able to take a weekend jaunt
across the ocean, be sure to look at the
updates from the U.S. State Department.
At http://www.stolaf.edu/net

He also suggested residents should
notify the police of an extremely long
absence.
The Chapel Hill Police Department
will do house checks which include driv
ing by the property and checking all doors
and windows, Johnson said. However,
because of the high volume of requests
during Fall Break, Johnson said the po
lice department cannot guarantee empty
student residences will be checked on a
daily basis.
Students like Megan Jones, a sopho
more from Pensacola, Fla., said just
knowing that someone in their residence
will be in town eases their security wor
ries. “I don’t feel that the security of our
house is threatened because a couple of
my housemates are remaining here.”
Travel Health Online and the World
Tourist let the globe-trotter voyage with
assistance.
Presumably, this Fall Break jaunt will
be one to remember. Bring lots of film
and a journal to take notes in. When
returning to reality on Monday, and sto
ries are swapped, consider sharing the
weekend pilgrimage with those on the
Internet.

have a memorable journey.
