While University police continue to patrol Grounds, little in the way of safety measures exist in off-Grounds housing. Security for apartment complexes is less visible. This weekend will be filled with a large number of celebrations, even by University standards. Last night, sororities gave out bids and tonight fraternities will do the same. Tomorrow is the annual Homecoming game and hopefully there will be plenty of reason to celebrate after the game.
Crime can take advantage of a chaotic weekend.
But crime hits when one least expects it. The local community must continue to work to improve safety at the University and in surrounding areas. Students cannot afford to forget they live in a large community where they must not let their guard down. Students are lucky they attend a University without checkpoints and guards at every dormitory or apartment building, but the same community of trust allowing that security could be destroyed if community members do not keep an eye on crime and work to prevent it.
