Tamara Westerman, of the ) 2849th Security Police Squadron said, I "I received an Action Line the other I day from a concerned Hill resident, on I the problems our community is facing with vandalism," she said. "The caller was absolutely correct, vandalism is at all-tim- -- ; ; an e high." I Partly to blame for the high vandal-- f ism rate is that the summer months left youth with extra time on their hands. "Which meant that kids were 'out of school, roaming the streets more often than usual," she said. There is currently no curfew established at Hill. However, the SPs are asking parents of the community to help out by ensuring their children are all-tim- f , for the months of June, July and August. She concluded that approximately 80 percent of all reported vandalism in the housing areas occurred between the hours of 3 p.m. and 8 a.m. Vandalism that occurred during the morning and afternoon hours throughout the base was usually the result of one vehicle causing damage to another that was parked. "Security police are not able to stop this problem alone,' she said. "We are asking for help from the residents of Hill. It takes the entire community along with the SPs to stop this problem, or at least to take steps to prevent it." There are things that residents of Hill can do to help protect themselves from vandals: would-b- e Get to know your neighbors and look out for one another.

"The new quality concept offers a way for us to change the way we do business; the way we account for our work, and most importantly, the way we think about our work." General Hopp told audiences, gathered at the base theater throughout the day, that one of the best techniques for improving quality is a systematic analysis of the processes, followed by common-senssolutions to the problems which are discovered. "Process analysis is not a technical exercise by management, but a nuts and bolts examination by those who actually perform the work," he said. "The person who performs the operation knows the most about the process and usually has the best ideas about how the process could be improved."
