i '1 oston niversit olice The Boston University Police Force was organized in October, 19417, under the direction of Captain Bates, who has been a member of the Boston Police Force serving as a detective in the Back Bay area. Former Boston police and firemen, chosen according to their abilities on their jobs, are now members of the Boston University group. The chief, and perhaps most important duty of the Force, is to guard all buildings against fire. As a safe- guard to dormitory students, each dormitory is checked by an officer every 4-5 minutes during the night. Enforc- ing smoking regulations is another duty for the Police, as smoking in most Boston University buildings is restricted to the basement floors according to Boston Fire Ordinances. Twice a year, between semesters and during vacation, fire inspections are made in all Uni- versity buildings to check fire extinguishers, hose, and the workable condition of allfire-fighting apparatus. Other duties include enforcing all regulations and rules set up by the Boston University Housing, Building and Grounds, Activities, and Athletic Committees. In addition to classrooms, laboratory facilities, and dormi- tories, the Police are responsible for Boston University's 57 buildings, an athletic plant, and offices scattered over Boston, Cambridge, Waltham and Weston. Faced with the problem of an ever-increasing number of commuters applying for the limited parking space available on the Universit,y's growing Connnonwealtli Avenue campus, the Police have issued parking stickers to those members of the faculty and student body whose automobiles are permitted to use the facilities ol' the lots behind CBA and the rising School of Theology. Clad in police-type uniforms of light blue, and wear- ing a distinguishable University shoulder patch, the Police are more than just officers to the students who frequently drop in at Q40 Bay State ltd., Police Station No. 1, to discuss personal problems with Captain Bates and his men. Many times we help to straighten out students who are confused by parking tickets, want direction to the shortest route to Lewiston, hfle., or canlt find the President's ofhcef' the Captain pointed out. ullleire a regular ill1l:0l'lll11-l.lOI'l Bureau and even 'Miz Anthony-type' counselors. Never a dull mo- ment, Captain Bates remarked. W hen we aren't ushering crowds at registration, Comme:icement, or Convocation, we act as guards: whenever an important guest visits the University, we supply an escort. Meflueelnic. Carroll. l'.
