\Up until three weeks ago I feltrelatively safe walking the twoblocks from campus to home af-ter the sun went down.>;.r I don't feel so safe any more.About three weeks ago a man wasallowed to loiter on campus for atleast anhour before campus secu-rity intervened. He actually wentinto dorm rooms in Egan, and noone reported him. Wh o's to saythat this man will not venture intomy neighborhood in the near fu-ture ? \% I i# >The question is why didn'tcampus*security act sooner to-ward the intruder? Another ques-tion is why was he allowed toloiter in Egan Hall for such alengthy period of time? That mannow knows this campus. S ince heknows this campus he also knowswhere to hide if he attempts any-

thought.I would like to know how toprotect myself from attack andI'm sure many other female stu-dents would also like to know.There are self-defensecourses for

variousgroups in the community. Whydoesn't campus security bringone of these groups to campus todemonstrate the w ays to protectyourself?

To Ihe Editor:As professionals we will allbe dealing with the environmenton a day to day basis. Therefore,it is our own '"responsibility toprotect our environment in allpossible ways.;!
