crime is committed are complicated and the presence of a camera in the area may not affect that decision."
Several projects are in progress, including the area around Lot 100, which is at 14th and Ohio, the Chancellors Residence and the Edwards campus. Additional cameras will be added around campus after the areas are identified, design work is completed and the installation contractor finishes the current installations.
Goddard said the budget for the KU Public Safety Office has increased in order to add additional cameras every year and $250,000 has been set aside for cameras and the technology behind the cameras.
Tyler Herring, a senior from Leavenworth, said he is happy with the added security on campus and thinks the surveillance cameras could be very beneficial.
"It is good to know there are cameras around," he said. "And if by chance something does happen to me, it is reassuring to know that I would have a chance to recover anything stolen or finding whoever did it."

For students who want to make a permanent change in their diets, Chapman suggests exercising and keeping a food journal. Students can find food journal apps for smart phones or online at livestrong.com.
"View weight loss as a lifestyle change, not a diet," Chapman said.
Rorabaugh said students should modify one habit at a time to make a gradual, consistent change.
"If one day, you don't follow your diet, recognize it, move and keep trying to achieve it," he said.

Brownback meets with Kansas tornado victims
Thursday's visit came less than a day after 53-year-old Richard Slade was taken off life support and died at a Topeka hospital. The trip to the Babaunse County town also gave Brownback a chance to see the damage caused by Tuesday night's EF2 tornado, which packed winds of between 120 mph and 130 mph.
Brownback said he had high praise for the large number of volunteers who rushed to the town's aid. He remarked that roofs already were being rebuilt.
While touring the area, Brownback received a call from President Barack Obama. The president also took time to talk to Harveyville's mayor, Dustin Kuntz.

Utah woman has third Leap Day birth
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PROVO, Utah — In one of the rarest feats in the annals of family planning, a Utah woman has given birth on a third consecutive Leap Day, tying a record set in the 1960s.
David and Louise Estes' daughter Jade was born Wednesday morning in Provo, an hour south of Salt Lake City, four years after their son Remington was born on Feb. 29, 2008, and eight years after their son Xavier was born Feb. 29, 2004.
Baby Jade was already five days overdue when doctors induced labor and the family hit the elusive date.
"I have never gone over so I wasn't sure if she was going to wait." Louise told The Daily Herald of Provo.
"As soon as we passed midnight I knew it really, really could happen."
The only other known case of triple Leap Day babies is the Henriksen family of Norway, which logged Feb. 29 births in 1960, 1964 and 1968.
Leap Days come once every four years to recalibrate the calendar and account for the 365 days and 6 hours it takes Earth to revolve around the sun. Having a Feb. 29 birthday can be both a blessing
and a curse — a "Leaping" can only celebrate their true birthday once every four years. But they also joke that they age four times slower.
"We're gonna try to get our oldest a car on his fourth birthday," Louise joked in an interview with KSL in Salt Lake City.
The Estes family, which has two other children who weren't born on the special date, says they try to have a large celebration around the end of February and beginning of March each non-Leap Year, in place of the missing birthdate.
This year, Remington and Xavier got their own special birthday cakes and celebrations.
"We always make sure to celebrate their fourth and eighth birthdays in a big way," Louise said. "It is a milestone for everyone."
Louise Estes said their 8-year-old son Xavier's Feb. 29 birthday was pure coincidence. But they were a bit more intentional with Leaplings No. 2 and 3.
"I approached her in October of 2010 and said 'If we are going to have another baby this would be really cool,' " David told the Daily Herald. "I wanted to give her time to think about it."
Louise became pregnant, but when doctors pegged her due date at Feb. 24, it looked like the masterful family planning scheme was headed for a near-miss.
But the 24th passed. The 25th passed. Louise was ready to be induced by Leap Day, and the 8-pound, 13-ounce girl was born at 7:16 a.m.
"We did go over by five days, which was not easy, but it's all worth it." Louise told KSL.
CRIME
As for trying to break the record with a Leap Day baby in 2016?
"Right now the answer is obviously going to be no, but you can't be sure," David Estes said. "You never know if in four years we will be talking about it again."

Woman faces charges for illegal buttox injections
PHILADELPHIA — A woman who calls herself the "Black Madam" could face charges in the death of a London tourist who received illegal buttocks-enhancement injections last year in a Philadelphia hotel, police said Thursday.
Padge Victoria Windslowe, 42, was arrested Wednesday night as she prepared to host a "pumping party" where she was to illegally inject clients, according to police. She faces charges including aggravated assault and deceptive practices after one of her clients, an exotic dancer, suffered serious lung problems after an injection, Philadelphia police Lt. John Walker said. Windslowe was arraigned Thursday and was being held on $10 million bail, prosecutors said.
Windslow is a "person of interest" in the death of the 20-year
old London woman who last year received injections at a hotel near Philadelphia International Airport, Walker said.
He said she will likely be charged with murder in that case if the medical examiner rules Windlowe's injection caused the death of Claudia Aderotimi, who complained of chest pain and difficulty breathing following the procedure. No charges have been filed.
"We knew she was the injector back in the 2011 (Aderotimi) case," Walker said, adding that the investigation has lingered as police awaited a ruling on the cause of Aderotimi's death.
Delaware County Medical Examiner Fredric Hellman has been in communication with prosecutors and is "striving to bring the investigation into the death of Claudia Aderotimi to as speedy a resolution as possible," a spokeswoman said in a prepared statement. Hellman is awaiting results from a Food and Drug Administration lab, the statement said.
A message left for an attorney who has represented Windslowe was not returned Thursday. She declined to comment as police escorted her to a waiting cruiser Wednesday night.
In recent years, cases of illegal cosmetic injections causing death, disfigurement and health problems have been reported from New York City to Los Angeles and beyond. Solange Magnano, a 38-year-old model and former Miss Argentina, died in Buenos Aires in 2009 from complications after having cosmetic injections on her buttocks.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FDA do not keep data on injuries or deaths caused by illicit cosmetic injections.
In Windslowe's case, investigators describe an operation in which she had "recruiters" who went out in search of people who wanted buttocks enhancement, reaching out to potential clients via email, blogs and conversations, Walker said.
Then, they would set up a time and place to meet, usually at a hotel or private residence, Walker said. The procedures cost anywhere from $700 to $1,800 in cash. Windslowe allegedly moved her operation around to avoid detection. Overall, police believe Windslowe has injected about 14 people dating to November 2011, mostly advertising through word of mouth, Walker said, with the operation moving all around the Philadelphia area.
"The operation moves," Walker said. "They don't want to get caught"
As part of the procedures, authorities said, Windslowe would clean the site and then inject a substance she described as silicone into the client's buttocks. When the procedure was done, she would cover the wound with glue, Walker said.
During the arrest, police seized vials of superglue, needles, gloves, bottles and other items. Walker said police are conducting tests on the material that Windslowe was allegedly injecting into her clients, trying to determine what it is. In the most recent case, the victim is currently on oxygen and at home in Philadelphia but had to spend seven days in the hospital, Walker said.
Windslowe's next court appearance is scheduled for March 13.

TRENTON, N.J. — New York City's Police Department is facing mounting criticism of its secret surveillance of Muslims across the Northeast, with ACLU chapters and numerous other groups demanding an investigation and New Jersey's governor accusing the NYPD of arrogantly acting as if "their jurisdiction is the world."
NYPD surveillance tactics questioned by the public
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The intelligence-gathering was detailed recently in a series of stories by The Associated Press, which
reported that police monitored mosques and Muslims around the metropolitan area and kept tabs on Muslim student groups at universities in upstate New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The department also sent an undercover agent on a whitewater rafting trip with college students.
The tactics have stirred debate over whether the NYPD is trampling on the civil rights of Muslims and illegally engaging in religious and ethnic profiling.
"They should be spending their
time looking at the more specific behaviors that ought to draw their attention and make them investigate a person or a group. But simply gathering to pray or going on a whitewater rafting trip really shouldn't be a source of suspicion." Mary Catherine Roper, an attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, said Thursday.
