Common sense can deter crime

Forty-five minutes after his last class, he was driving on the highway heading south. As he drove, he stopped for a moment whether he had locked his back door. Twenty days later, tired and sunburned, he returned to school.
"Students can avoid being ripped off if they use some common sense," said Mark Brothers of the Lawrence Police department. "The burglary is a big business in Lawrence. Most students like to leave town when they can, but returning to an empty apartment doesn't mean it will be safe."
Several precautions should be taken before leaving town. Brothers said.
One of the simplest to do, but most often forgotten, he said, is to lock all doors and windows. If a apartment does not have glass door locks, a tenant may want to install them.
SLIDING GLASS DOORS - a bit more maneuver for patient rooms - should be secured by padded doors. Doors can be locked, he said. Window locks should be checked to see whether they are functioning correctly.
- Another important thing to do, Brothers said, is to lower the volume of all telephone bells so they cannot be heard outside.
"Most of the time the phone bells are left
on the loosest setting. **Bring** said, "When it rings, and burglaries like to check and see if anyone is home, can be heard through,么hrough most apartment com-
OTEN A burglar can be fooled to think people are still at home. Small electric timers can on turn lights at various times of the day to give an apartment a lived-in look, he said.
An alarm clock radio could also be set to go off at certain times, he said.
But Brothers said the best way to secure new orders is by being in touch. It newspaper and mail deliveries need to be picked up and any expensive or hard to replace values should be left in a friend's address.
ALSO, ANY suspicious activity noticed by neighbors who stay in town should be reported immediately to the police department, Brothers said.
"It helps to have a license tag number, too." he said.
A list of all model numbers and serial numbers of valuables should be made and kept in a senator place.

Polls influence votes, donations

Like a knife's edge, the political opinion poll slices through inexact voter opinions and attitudes and comes up with numbers. It has been called winner-kite-a journalism.
By SUSAN SCHOENMAKER
"The opinion poll doesn't tell people what to think, but it does tell people what to think about," said Allan Cigler, associate professor of political science.
"It can't make a somebody out of a nobody, but it can keep a nobody a nobody."
"Polls have been given a great deal of skepticism by the candidates—particularly those behind," Gettar said.
The opinion poll is one more straw in the fickle winds of public opinion. And like a straw, it can be bent and twisted to fit a candidate's need.
Russell Getter, associate professor of political science, said candidates trailing in the polls were not to dismiss them.
Many of the pollsters are hired by the candidates themselves. The aim is politics, not information, according to Cisler.
CIGLER SAID public opinion polls have little effect on the public but did serve to rally elite financial support.
Everyone likes to cheer a winning team-and elections are evidently no exception.
Sarah Towes, Kansas press coordinator for the George Bush presidential campaign, said success in the polls attracts dollars.
KANSAN Analysis
Contributions to Republican John Anderson's campaign have doubled since his ratings began to climb in national polls, and his deputy press secretary Susan Starr.
Starr said Anderson's campaign office had been flooded with phone calls since Anderson's strong showing in Tuesday's Massachusetts and Vermont primaries.
"The media has an incredible impact on voters," Starr said. "Before the Iowa caucuses nobody knew who we were, and they had no clue how to win, only the small names would cover it."
"It was a circle we couldn't fight. We couldn't get support without the national press, and we couldn't get press coverage without support."
Polls have been a staple of political campaigns for two decades, but only in the past few years has the use of polls in the mass media become widespread.
And the press keeps its eye on the polls because they offer something measurable amid the rhetoric of candidates jockeying for national press.
Thomas' Patterson, a Syracuse University expertess in marketing said that if eight candidates were vying for press attention, the opinion poll was a convenient tool.
But Carter had a 4 to1 news coverage advantage in the weeks after New Hampshire won. In addition, Time and Newsweek magazines devoted 2,000 lines of coverage to Carter and only about 600 for Carter's own work.
PATTERSON SAID, for example, moun-
purely played a large role in Prez. Gov.
Harris' re-election bid. She got 28 percent of the primary vote in New Hampshire, beating Rep. Morris Udall of
Ames, beat Rep. John Kerry of Conn.
Yet Cigler said political opinion polls and press coverage of them could only significantly sway opinion "when people's guards are down."

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
"The age of the heathen, or unbelievers, in the God of
Gods, is the age of the Martyrs, especially blinded at his Moral Law. His Ten Command-
ments."
The Ten Commandments have a special claim for authority, because they contain several reasons that none of the other Scriptures have. They instruct us by God to the nation of Israel out of the midst of the terrible "terrible" that they heard entreated that the word should be commanded. "There was terrible which was commanded" . . . and so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, "i exceedingly fear and quake
When Moses got back down to the camp he found the people worshiping an idol, a golden gaiten in his anger he
Consider what sights may be in store for you and me when our spirit leaves this 'house of clay' for it; 'I’m long gone.' It’s all too much to remember the two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the hand and stamped with the ink. The mount and the two tables of testimony were in his hand, the tables were written on both their sides on the tablets, the tablets were worked on, and the writing was the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the work of God and the 32-15 and 32-16. Again we say, in view of the way they were given to man, spoken and written with the finger of God,
threw the two tables on and broke them! However, in spite of his anger at the people he pleaded with God not to make Moses a great nation! God heard his prayer, and spared them utter destruction. "And the God said unto them, let us make Moses a great nation," and I will write upon these words that were in the first tables, which thou breakest." Exodus 5:17. After ordering himself to have two tables of stone and present them to God for His living to write upon them the same words.
Here we have a good, and easily understood explanation of Christianity. Adam broke God's law and all have been made holy."
God now calls upon Adam - the man - to bring Him the "tables of his heart!" That he may write in his Men Commission (1 Corinthians 2:8) to give men "the same ones given Moses, the sum of which is to 'Love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, mind, soul and strength; and thy neighbor as itself.' The offer is to 'Whoowers be done because of the work of Jesus Christ who came in the flesh and perfectly kept God's Commandments for us, the same as Jesus himself, punishment, even death, that we might be made righteous of God. In Jerusalem 3:11 read: "I will put my laws in their inward parts, and write in it their
