SECURITY

the day does not make Engineering sophomore
Stephen Stamatis feel any safer. He said he feels the
changes in security are more of an inconvenience than
anything else.
"I think they're wasting their time stepping up
security because if anyone really wants to get in the
building they'll get in the building," Stamatis said.
"You stand by the door and wait for someone to exit
or position yourself so you have a short walk to the
floor.... People hold it for you - people are courte-
ous around here, they give people the benefit of the
doubt."

Philip Khoury, an LSA freshman and resident of
Baits Residence Hall, said he feels safe living in the
residence hall because it is removed from central
campus where the incidents took place.
"You feel secure when you're not secure because
(Baits) is so far out nobody'll mess with you," he said.
Khoury said he believes the University is taking the
necessary precautions to keep the campus safe by
locking the residence halls.

"I feel like they're doing what they've got to do. I
feel safe now, I felt safe before. I think it's about self-
awareness more than anything," Khoury said.
LSA junior Katie Yonker said since she lives off-
campus, she had not even heard about the inci-
dents, but she did not feel as if she was in any dan-
ger.
"I'm concerned for the students in the residence
halls, but I'm not worried about my own safety," she
said. "I'm not worried that's going to happen where I
live."
Other home invasions have been reported in Alice
Lloyd Residence Hall, the Law Quad and West Quad.
According to Department of Public Safety reports,
ten peeping tom incidents have been reported this
year. DPS issued a crime alert after an incident on
Dec. 2 in East Quad, and on Jan. I1 when a female
victim was touched while showering in South Quad.

received by the court.
Many residents are already taking
advantage of the system.
"We're averaging about 50 people
per week," Cannell said.
While residents seem to be enjoy-
ing the benefits of the new method,
most University students are not
familiar with the added convenience.
But many students noted that they
would have appreciated using the
online method when paying previous
tickets.
"Online would have been really
nice, because I could've just used my
credit card," said Engineering sopho-
more Josh Murnaw.
Several students said they were not
surprised that the court decided to
allow online methods for paying tick-
ets.
"Everything else is going more and
more towards cyberspace these days.
... so why not speeding tickets?" said
Journalism Fellow Todd Richmond.

RESTRICTION

information about the snow emergency
parking restrictions.
The city decided that temporary signs
were too expensive and labor-intensive
to justify the cost, Wheeler said.
Last week's snowstorm was the first
time the law had been put into effect.
Previously the city rarely restricted
parking during snow storms.
Wheeler said although the city coun-
cil set the fine, the public services
department recommended the $125
amount.
During a December 2000 snowstorm,
the city used tow trucks to temporarily
move vehicles to clear narrow streets.
"It cost us about $125 per car last
year to plow," Wheeler said. "It was a
losing financial operation."
Some students say the fine should be
reduced. "They sent people out there to
generate revenue," said Behnan.
"Obviously people didn't know about it.
... There's no way it should be that
much."
