SECURITY

 

Any canmunity college is very much a pub-
lic place. Fran 0700 until 1100 hours the
entire property is penetratable from num-
erous stairways and elevetors in the
parking levels. This is a necessary and
desirable convenience for all attending
the College. The situation in some re-
spects is not entirely different than

it has been for years at the McBride or
other College sites.

However, in same respects the Royal
Avenue site is prone to greater risks.
Located as it is, near the waterfront,
.near restaurant and tavern row, new and
impressive in size it attracts a variety
of curious people besides those of us
working and studying here. Size alone
increases the secwrity problem and the
covered parking can be a mixed blessing.

Within any college community there is
simply a cross section of our larger
'cammuinity...some beautiful people, same -
not so beautiful. Without being totally
paranoid we all must realize there are
risks in life which can be minimized by
our own conduct.

In relation to personal or College prop-
erty it is recammended to:
Never leave portable property unattended
Never leave an empty office unlocked
Use desks, filing cabinets etc. to keep
attractive items out of sight
Lock desks, filing and other cabinets
when leaving offices.

In brief: WATCH IT - Ick IT
OR LOSE IT!

Your security from this type of loss is
your responsibility.
