Letter to the Editor: Students need to unite to pr

In response to the recent safety concerns, we would like to let students know how we are addressing the issue. We are concerned about last week's assault and encourage students to educate and unite themselves. On our end, we are working to offer self-defense and safety workshops, have produced a safety brochure, are offering whistles, and have asked bishops to implement buddy programs through the wards. We feel these are valuable steps, but suggest that BYUSA cannot solve this problem by itself. The power of a student body united together, looking out for one another -- this is what will keep us safe. Educate yourselves. Expend the effort to follow safety guidelines. Offer rides or walks home willingly to friends out after dark. Be aware and look out for each other. Students who have input on this issue or would like more information about our safety programs should feel free to contact the SAC hotline at 378-7187. We encourage the students to come together and make this campus safer and more united.
