New Public Safety halts campus crime Creighton Security, now known as Public Safety has brought about a change not in name only. This year security was not only concerned with solving crime but also with the safety of the students as well. The security officers were contracted for employ- ment on Creighton ' s campus. They were all college educated. Each had gone through a series of training sessions to learn how to handle different situations and use firearms in emergency situations involving possible personal harm. Besides the employment of new officers, the public safety system added two patrol cars and new two-way radios. According to Public Safety Director, James Russell, officers could be anywhere on campus with- in two minutes.

Dorms offer large slice of college life The building itself is an imposing structure — a kind of stone honeycomb inhabited by all walks of college life. In most cases, it certainly doesn ' t resemble home. Mom never made you get up at 3 a.m. for a fire drill, nor did she require that you lock your bedroom door whenever you left the room. And you certainly don ' t conjure images of Mom ' s home cooking when dorm food passes from fork to mouth. The very nature of a dorm as a repository of many people, all with needs and a will to enforce them, war- rants that a dorm is not the most private of abodes. However, if one maintains a composed attitude toward the hurdles presented by dorm living, residing there can enhance the student ' s college experience.

Administering medical help to dormies is a practical supplement to the nursing curriculum. Dorm nurses give added health care Dorm nurse Kelly Korf, below, is familiar with interrupted studies and minor health problems. The dorm nurse program was designed to provide health care for dorm students requiring attention after student heahh closed. Three senior nursing students, Kelli Korf, Laura Foley, and Diane Appleseth, pro- vided this service to all dorms, including Sheridan and the Palms. One dorm nurse was on duty nightly and on weekends and stayed on campus to receive calls by telephone or pages on the beeper she carried. Occasionally calls came in which required advice only the dorm nurses could give. That ' s what we ' re here for. I ' m glad the service was utilized more this year than it has been in past years, Foley said. Experience was seen by Foley as an advantage of the job. You really sharpen your assessment skills. The service provided by the dorm nurses enhanced and promoted student health. Student Life - 25
