Thursday. October 8,1998 The University Daily Kansan Section A ยท Page 5 Task force collecting data to improve campus safety By Seth Jones Kansan staff writer Student body president Kevin Yoder assembled a campus safety task force this year to look at what needs improvement and what is performing well safety-wise at the University of Kansas. Emily Heath, chairwoman of the new task force, said that the group was still gathering information. "We want to begin by making a broad assessment of what is happening on campus," she said. "We want to find out what isn't being covered, what is being covered, what's being double-covered." Heath said that the campus safety task force wants to have their report on safety complete by November. By January she said she hoped to see some of their goals come to fruition. "We are definitely looking into the implementation of a Safewell program," she said. "Last year, students voted that they wouldn't mind paying a fee for this program." paying a fee for this program.. Nicole Skalla, transportation coordi- nator, explained the Safewalk program might work. "It's envisioned that there will be a phone number students can call at the Public Safety Office to reach a pair of students, male and female, to walk with them across campus." Skalla said that there would probably be three pairs of students and that they would be equipped with radios and flashlights. "This will probably cut back crime in general on campus," Skalla said. "It's less likely for something to happen if people know that there are three pairs of students walking around campus with a direct line to the Public Safety Office." Saferide expansion is another group goal. The expansion of Saferide was something Yoder said he wanted to see. "This was one of the major issues of my campaign last year," he said. "I don't want people waiting 45 min- CAMPUS SAFETY GOALS - Implement a Safewalk program - Expand the Saferide program - Determine if blue emergency phones satisfy the needs of students Determine if campus lighting is sufficient for the safety of students utes for Saferide to come by and then finally decide that they'll give up waiting and drive drunk anyway." Heath said other things the group would look into were blue emergency phones and better lighting on campus. By February, Heath said she wanted to see the group go from evaluating the situation to taking action. "We'll go to the different groups and tell them what our research shows, and we'll tell them what we think needs to be put in place," Heath said.
