support a report from the American Society for Engineering Education shows In research support from outside sources the average per faculty member at USU was third in the US among all universities receiving more than $3 million in Light will shine later ENGINEERING students Fred Riebeck and Doug Sobieski work on one of several engineering projects that rate USU's Engineering College third nationally in research projects The project they're working on is supervised by David Burt Photo by Allan Swainston USU Campus police noi missed dean says having two separate police special events the university pays Logan city about $36000 yearly Burtenshaw said he feels this figure is a considerable savings when compared with the money that would have to be paid to a 13 man staff and needed by buy the equipment the Logan Police already have Burtenshaw said the savings aspect of the decision was a minor one the most important results being the alleviation of competition and jurisdiction conflicts between the two forces Would cost $100000 Transition worked well Burtenshaw said the decision arose from an investigation of the function of acampus police force when a request was made for 13 more staff members and $100000 in cars and equipment Burtenshaw said the committee decided to dissolve the campus police force because it duplicated services that could be performed by Logan Police and because having separate forces created competition and conflicts of jurisdiction To have a p3f!ce force Burtenshaw said you need rules but the law is not a university’s business A police force also needs a judge and a prosecuting of attorney to operate neither s which are the university business Logan city already has all these established he said The transition has worked well and there has been no significant change in the protection the campus receives Burtenshaw by Dave Kingham It has been nearly four years since USU dissolved its campus police force in favor of protection by the Logan City Police and the people involved in the change sa it is working well Den Claude Burtenshaw who was in charge of the committee investigating the decision in 1972 said the decision has solved many of the problems created by forces No justification for force “There seemed to be noa having justification for for a four or separate police force five block area that was already under the jurisdiction of another force” Burtenshaw said “We couldn’t afford the cost or the possible confrontations” For the extra servipe of with providing the university at and protection on campus Pages The first of the three light fixtures made by Larry Eisner has been installed in the Library Because of safety regulations the other fixtures cannot be hung until there is a slack period at the library which will probably come between Winter and Spring Qua- rters Richard Strong of the physi- cal plant said that safety regulations prohibit using scaffolds in an area where many people walk It was planned that all three fixtures would be put up during the Christmas Holiday But because of problems in scheduling and other delays only one of the three was installed Mr Strong said that although they hadn’t known what to expect with the first fixture in installing it there are no anticipated difficulties with the last two such as is created by high flying Only Dayton and Harvard aircraft and

university this way and the university is part of the city” Jones said The amount of the protection the campus receives has not changed considerably since the transition Jones said but the number of arrests made on campus has probably increased slightly School coming out ahead Jones said he felt the campus is presently receiving services well in excess of the dollar amount paid to the city “I’m not complaining though Jones said “I realize there are budget problems the university must solve just like we have our own Burtenshaw said there have been a few complaints about the university not having its own no police force but there are plans to reestablish a campus police force running back Louie Giammona (L) accepts the honor of having his jersey retired his wife with Kathy his parents
