Citizens important in crime control
By RIC ANDERSON
Staff writer
Local police like to say that people, not guns or teargas, could be the most important force in crime prevention.
For this reason, both the Lawrence and KU police departments have programs to get the community more involved in police affairs.
Campus Watch, a KU police program, encourages residents to call police if they see
Neighborhood Watch, a program headed by Bob Avery, Lawrence crime prevention officer, is the leader of the Neighborhood Watch.
Sgt. John Brothers, KU police spokesman, said KU police designed Campus Watch to encourage residents to call and inform police.
Brothers said the program was inexpensive, and the main cost came from printing stickers and from about 15 signs on campus.
Residents are more familiar with their surroundings than police, he said, and therefore more likely to notice if something is amiss.
"We want them to call us," Brothers said. There are 50,000 eyes on campus and only 116 up here."
He said students should not think they were bothering police with calls if things looked fishy.
"Napistic activity is anything that makes you look twice," Brothers said. "It it looks bad to you,
Brothers said education, in addition to communication, was important in crime prevention.
Some issues the programs address include bicycle and dorm room theft prevention, rape prevention and telephone harassment prevention.
In addition to handing out fliers and pamphlets, Brothers and Jerry Sylvester, KU police officer.
Brothers said the KU police concentrated more on people living in on-campus housing. He said these people were more likely crime targets because they and their belongings were on campus all day.
One of the KUPD's newer programs, Crime Prevention Alert, is aimed on at-campus students. Sylvester prints information about crimes and crime prevention and has them posted in residence halls.
"We want the people to be our eyes and ears and watch out for each other." Avery said.
In Lawrence, the police have an attitude similar to that on campus.
Avery said he did not know exactly how many signs the police had distributed, but 25 neighborhood associations had purchased them.
The Neighborhood Waich program started in 1982. Avery said the only major cost from the program was signs, which cost $9.50 each.
The education aspect, however, is somewhat different from that on campus, Avery said.
Avery and four other officers make presentations to homeowners and schoolchildren about topics ranging from drunken driving to Halloween safety.

Bash to be Halloween Latin American style
By SHANE A. HILLS
When the Latin American Student Association throws its Halloween party Saturday night, it won't be like the typical Halloween party in the United States.
Juilio Webel, El Cafetal,
Venezuela, graduate student and a member of the Latin American Student Association, said yesterday that he thought the party would define Latin American touch.
The music, for example, will include Salsa and Reggae, but also American pop music. Webel said.
U. S. costumes, He said some people probably would wear Latin American costumes.
The party will begin at 7 p.m. at The Knights of Columbus building, 2206 E. 23rd St. The association is offering costy roofs of renting the building.

"Latin American costumes could include a number of things," he said. "A lot of the costumes are traditional, but many are of rural farmers and fishermen."
Webel said he anticipated that most people would wear typical
"We've had a Halloween party for about the last five years." Webel said. "It's just something we do to bring all the Latin American students together so they can exist. But anyone is invited."
"A fisherman, for example, may dress like a holy, big fish. The farmers have a special dress-up suit, called the lequi-lequi. It's all white. The bucket is just like a short shirt and it goes to the neck with a small cuff.
Webel said Venezuelan children also trick or-treated, but they had copied that tradition from the United States. He said the women in Venezuela wore ornate costumes and flowers on their heads. Some of the Latin American costumes aren't available in the United States.
The tickets are on sale at the Student Union Activities office in the Kansas Union. They are $3.50 in advance and $4 at the door.
The party will last until 1 a.m. and prizes will be awarded for the best costumes.
