That is their regulation of the parking situation and the issuance of numerous and appar- ently trivial parking citations. It is largely in this area that they have earned the reputation of harass- ing rather than helping the cam- pus community. As stated by one of the security supervisors, the campus police issue tickets only when they have nothing to do. Taking into consideration the vol- ume of traffic tickets the students receive and the nature of the vio- lations, it would appear that they don ' t do much else.

They are responsible for locking and guarding all the buildings as well as patrolling the grounds and protecting university personnel from all outside sub- versive elements. On hand to offer aid in many emergency situ- ations, campus police can be seen at accidents, fights, or assisting in giving first aid. They also investigate all thefts and assaults.

WHAT THEY SAY The search for identity, which for all of us is truly a life-long process, is greatly accelerated during your time at the university . . . Learning to cope and adapt, speeding up man ' s emotional and intellectual evolution to ena- ble him to survive, prosper and enjoy this world we have created and are creating, becomes one of the most important tasks of our educational system. The only real answer we can give is the same one that has been true since the dawn of time: your life has only that meaning that you as an individual choose to give it. Opportunities for students are manifold, and the spectrum of problems that confront us appears endless. The future will belong to those who welcome these new challenges. May your educational efforts this year help you to cope with the challenges of your life. JOHN P. SCHAEFER University of Arizona President 28 Welcome from the Wildcat
