The Michigan Daily -Thursday, October 20, 1994_-7 Students turn to handbook for safety tips Larceny Is the most common crime on campus, campus police say By MATTHEW SMART Daily Staff Reporter * For students concerned about their safety on campus and how to prevent crime, "The Campus Safety Hand- book" gives instructions for prevent- ing and reporting many types of crimes, including theft, sexual ha- rassment and rape. The handbook devotes a section to the University sexual assault policy and highlights steps for reporting such 0 ines and provides tips on preven- on. The handbook urges survivors of sexual assault to call for help im- mediately, either to 911 or the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center. Larceny accounts for more than 85 percent of all crime during each of the last four years. The areas that have the highest amount of such theft are the residence halls, libraries, and rec- reational buildings. "The bulk of the crime is larceny. Everybody here is busy, and some people are careless," said David Betts, a crime prevention supervisor for the University's Department of Public Safety. He said that people in the resi- dence halls don't realize that leaving their room "just for a minute" is very risky. He also said that in libraries, people will spread their supplies across a table and then walk away to find a book or take a break. Crime against individuals overall has decreased significantly each year for the past four years. "Most of our crime is of a nonviolent nature," Betts said. He added that programs directed at preventing crime, more campus- wide awareness, and services such as Safewalk and Northwalk have aided in decreasing crime. Arrests and citations for alcohol- and drug-related offenses are dramati- cally up from 1992 as compared to 1993. There were 198 citations and 191 arrests for alcoholic offenses, up from 92 citations and 93 arrests the previous year. There were 215 arrests for drug-related offenses, an increase from 62 the prior year. Betts attributed the drug-related arrests to the annual Hash Bash and an increasing number of participants. Punishment for possession of mari- juana on University property is man- dated by state law and is up to one year in jail and up to a $1,000 fine. The quick reference section of the handbook contains the hours and phone numbers for safety and secu- rity offices. These include emergency, general health, counseling and trans- portation programs. The handbooks have been distrib- uted to all students, staff and faculty. Students inquire about their future in science and engineering at a panel discussion at Rackham yesterday. PanelC dscusses engieeing, sciencle career 's for women JSRAEL Continued from page 1 organization and has vowed to carry its fight into Israeli cities. In an earlier statement read out at noontime prayers in mosques in the Gaza Strip, the group's military wing known as the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades declared there would be more attacks. "God will torment them with your *ands and the hands of the faithful,"the Al-Qassam statement said, calling the Tel Aviv bombing revenge for the kill- ing of three Hamas members after they kidnapped and subsequently shot to death an Israeli soldier last week. Hamas gunmen had earlier killed two people in Jerusalem's cafe district. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who cut short a visit to London and con- vened an emergency meeting of his security advisers on his return, vowed to hit back at Hamas hard, saying he would seek legislation broadening the powers of Israel's security police to hunt down its leaders, detain them with- out charge and use harsher methods in interrogating them. Comments by Rabin and other top Israeli officials indicated that a major roundup of Hamas supporters was planned for the West Bank, in Arab East Jerusalem and, with or without the cooperation of PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, in the Gaza Strip, where Pales- tinians have self-rule. "Ways need to be found so that suiciders, the murderers of Hamas, will know that they are not the only ones who can be killed in their operations, but also their houses, the houses of their families, could be harmed," Rabin said. "Certainly, I cannot find the words to express the pain and anger at the mur- derous attack against innocent civilians in the heart of Tel Aviv by the Hamas organization." President Ezer Weizman, visiting the injured in Tel Aviv's Ichilov Hospital, said the Tel Aviv bombing would "re- quire an unusually harsh reaction - dif- ferent from what has been done so far. By TRACEY ROGERS For the Daily Confused and abit intimidated, stu- dents pursuing a career in science or engineering attended an informal panel discussion at Rackham yester- day, to answer questions about their future. The panel discussion, sponsored by the University's Women in Science and Engineering Program, consisted of five female professors and graduate students, who spoke about programs available here at the University. Panelists shared their exneriences and thoughts on their fields of study and offered students advice on how to succeed. "Don't treat your textbook as the Bible," said Rackham student Suzanne Argentine. She made it clear that there are many other sources of information to learn from, and that the University offers many options to pre-med and Engineering school students. Students expressed frustration over selecting a major. Linda Abriola, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and one of the panelists, said, "As you begin to take more courses, you tend to gravi- tate to your interests." Just as the University is diverse, so is the field of engineering, she said. Panelists commented on the plethora of majors available to students, rang- ing from environmental to biomedi- cal engineering. Jan Grenier, a professor in the department of chemical engineering, stressed to students that they should not become overwhelmed by their work. She encouraged students to "not only study but enjoy it ... to create an equilibrium between work and play." Panelists told students to take ad- vantage of office hours and encour- aged even underclassmen to apply for internships. They added that most professors will remember you and that it is never too early to start pursu- ing your interests. Everyone on the panel was eager to help and distributed information to better enable students to seek out help on campus. The Women in Science and Engi- neering Program is affiliated with the Center for the Education of Women (CEW). The program offers such ser- vices as Residential Living and Learn- ing in Couzens Residence Hall. Information such as student place- ment services, lists of national re- sources and biography of holdings in the CEW library, organizations for women interested in the science and engineering fields, and other infor- mation was made available at this meeting. After each panelist went through their specialty area, students spoke to them personally. Nicole Marriott, a first-year Engi- neering student, said, "The meeting was very helpful. It was nice to see that these women had as much uncer- tainty and confusion as I feel at this age. It also shows that there is some- one out there who is willing to help and direct me."

YOU AND I~0.000' OfTHESARE" f &TH BEA DING THIS detainment By APRIL WOOD Daily Staff Reporter She was told it was a matter of "national security" and "military ne- cessity." Dorothy Oda,a Japanese American, had to live with that expla- nation as a teenager during her three year stay in an internment camp dur- ing World War II. Recounting her personal experi- ence as a Japanese American in post- World War II America, Dr. Oda, a professor of nursing at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF), addressed a small crowd at the League yesterday. Oda came to the University under the auspices of the Martin Luther King Jr./ 4esar Chavez/Rosa Parks Visit- ing Scholar Program to speak about her experience in an internment camp in Topaz, Utah, following the bomb- ing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in December 1941. The presentation was titled, "Liv- ing in Three Cultures: An American Odyssey," and brought forth a com- prehensive picture of her childhood as a Japanese American and the is- sues she faced growing up as a mem- ber of both cultures. Twelve thousand Japanese Ameri- can families were placed in camps and told their containment was a "mili- tary necessity." She shared many of the events that changed her life as her family was moved to an internment camp during her early adolescence. She was placed in sole charge of more than 50 ill patients in the camp hospital and at one point developed a heart murmur and high pulse rate due to the de- mands of the work. Her family of four shared a single room and communal dining and bath- CHIS WOLF/Daily Dorothy Oda talks about her experiences in a U.S. internment camp during World War l. ing facilities with hundreds of other Japanese Americans for three years. In the beginning she suffered from heat stroke and laryngitis due to the hot dusty Utah wind. "Everyone worked hard to make the best of the situation," she said. "We tried to make life as normal as possible." Some students took Oda's tale to heart. "It makes you more aware of what happened before you came to be," said first-yearRC student Carmen Liang. "You feel so lucky." Oda was introduced by Dr. Patricia Coleman Burns, director of the Of- fice of Multicultural Affairs of the School of Nursing. Burns presented an extensive list of Oda's credentials saying, "Dr. Oda is someone I think we can all learn from." Oda has been at UCSF for 20 years as a professor of nursing, and is now a department chair in that aca- demic division. She has been named a fellow in the American Academy of Nursing, has been involved with the American Nursing Associatio, and has received many other honors and awards. Oda first entered the field ofimedi- cine as a nurse's aid in the camp hospital, overseeing several different wards alone at the same ufne. She pursued her education fervently in the years that followed, earning a bachelor of arts, master's, and doc- toral degree from UCSF. Oda is a registered nurse and a doctor of nursing science. As a young woman, she attended nursing school on scholarship and became a clinical instructor in operating rooms after graduation. The academic world presented a great challenge for her as a woman of color and a nurse. Devotion to her. field and the strength of her work helped her move forward to achieve a high level of professional success. In explaining her reasons for speaking on such a personal topic, Oda said she was "trying to contrib- ute something that might be meaning- ful to the three names the (Visiting Scholar) program is named for." *** SPRING BREAK- Last year's #1 travel co. offers you trips to Nassau, Paradise Island, Cancun, Jamaica, and more starting as low as $299.
