Safety program gets national recognition

A personal safety program developed by the Public Safety Department is one of 20 programs from across the nation that will be highlighted in the National Crime Prevention Council's "Together for a Safe Campus" kit.

The objective of the kit is to pro­vide educational materials and strategies for preventing crime, reducing victimization, and pro­moting the well-being of the cam­pus community.

The Cal Poly program, called the Victim Survival Course, was selected from college safety measures throughout the U.S. that are already working well.

The National Crime Prevention Council's goal is to provide an op­portunity for colleges to share their programs and begin suc­cessful crime prevention efforts on their own campuses.

Created in 1984 by University Police Officers Raymond Berrett and Wayne Carmack, the Victim Survival Course is patterned after police officer survival courses.

Following the university's "hands-on learning" philosophy, the program consists of lectures as well as practical training in techni­ques to thwart would-be attackers.

According to Richard C. Brug, director of public safety, the pro­gram is designed to put in­dividuals in threatening situations and show them how to react.

The program includes discus­sions of emotional trauma, course objectives, rapist profiles, and how to care for loved ones or friends who have been victimized.

It has been so successful that it has been exported to many other college campuses as well as other law enforcement agencies. The California and Hawaii Depart­ments of Justice have participated in the program.

Recently, crime prevention of­ficers from the other 18 CSU cam­puses came to Cal Poly to learn how the program works.

The National Crime Prevention Council is not the only organiza­

tion to recognize the value of the Victim Survival Course. In 1986 the program was also named the International Association of Cam­pus Law Enforcement Administra­tion's Exemplary Program.

The Cal Poly program is offered free of charge to faculty, staff, and students, usually every three months. There have been over 5,000 participants since the course began in 1984.

Senior project, term paper clinics

The Reference Department of the Kennedy Library is offering one-hour sessions to aid students in using the library for senior pro­jects and term papers. Sessions will be held in Library 202.

Students will be taught search strategy and library sources to use to find journal articles, books, reports, reviews, proceedings, and government documents. Instruc­tion for obtaining the above items in the Cal Poly library or other libraries through interlibrary loan will be covered. Library re­quirements for senior projects will also be explained.

The following sessions are scheduled for Fall Quarter: English, Journalism, Speech, today (Thursday, Sept. 29), 10-11 am; Engineering and Industrial Technology, today (Thursday, Sept. 29), 3-4 pm; Art and Design, Tuesday, Oct. 4, 10-11 am; History, Social Science, Political Science, Wednesday, Oct. 5, 10-11 am; Graphic Communication, Wednesday, Oct. 5, 3-4 pm; Home Economics, Physical Educa­tion and Recreation Administra­tion, Liberal Studies, Psychology and Human Development, Thurs­day, Oct. 6, 10-11 am.

A special session on computer searching for journal articles, books, and other library materials will be presented on Thursday, Oct. 6, from 3-4 pm.

For further information about the sessions, call Paul Adalian, ext. 2649.

{ Student employment -~ week set for Oct. 3-7 ;

A national employment ­organization has designated Oct. ' 3-7 as National Student Employ­ment Week.

The observance is designed to acknowledge a three-part process - students that look for work, placement centers that introduce students to available jobs, and the employers that hire students.

The university's Student Employment Office, part of the Placement Center, has three separate programs designed to meet the needs of students look­ing for work.

Ellen Polinsky, coordinator of the Student Employment Office, says that e ch of the programs is aimed at a specific type of job.

The most used of the three ser­vices is the Part-time Job Service that lists jobs open on-campus as well as in the local area. The pof tions range from yard work, chi!. . care, and housekeeping to retail sales and clerical jobs, with salaries from $4.25 to $8 per hour.

Over 5,000 jobs were listed last year.

The Student Employment Office also offers a Work Experience Pro­gram. The program aids career development by placing students in part-time, career-related work in the local community.

The jobs give students the chance to work in their chosen field and evaluate it before they graduate. The program is limited to currently enrolled, upper divi­sion students who have filed an application and personal resume at the Student Employment Office.

This past year, 230 students were hired through this program and they earned almost $500,000.

The Student Employment Office also offers a Summer Employment Program. Many students find full­time, seasonal, career-related work, not only in San Luis ( Obispo, but across the nation.

For more information on any of these programs, call the Placement Center, ext. 2501.

( •••Cal Poly Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees

* Beathard was an outstanding two-way performer on Cal Poly's 1956, 1957, and 1958 football teams. As a quarterback and defensive back, he led the Mustangs to a total of 25 wins and five losses. He is still ranked in the top ten career passers and pass interceptors in Cal Poly foot­ball history.

With the Washington Redskins since 1978, Beathard has put to~ether a team that has posted 81 wms and 41 losses in the 1980s. In that same period, the Redskins have appeared in the Super Bowl three times and won that symbol of professional football excellence twice (1983 and 1988).

* Bebemes is being recognized for his outstanding performances as a member of Cal Poly's football and baseball teams during 1946, 1947, 1948, and 1949.

He twice was an all-conference ack and in 1948 was on the Little

All-Coast football team. He still holds Cal Poly records for the most touchdown passes in a season (15) and most career touchdown passes (28).

As an infielder, Bebemes made the all conference baseball team in both 1946 and 1948. He led the team in batting in 1946 and was the runner-up in the race for the conference batting title in 1949.

* Bravo was the offensive star of Cal Poly's unbeaten, untied 1953 football team that claimed the then-mythical national small col­lege championship.

He played a total of three ~easons. Following his final year m 1953, he received honorable mention on the Little All-America team, and was named to the all­conference, All-Southern California small college, and Little All-Coast first teams. He is still ranked in the top ten in both career rushing and career total offense in the Cal " 'Jly record books.

( . . Bravo went on to play profes­Sional football with the Los Angeles Rams and in the Cana­dian Football League.

* Lee played football, basketball,

and starred on the Cal Poly baseball team after having played those same sports at Arroyo Grande High School from 1921 through 1925.

Reports in the student news­paper during the 1926 season credit him with striking out 20 bat­ters in a victory over San Jose State, winning all of his starts, and averaging 15 strike-outs a game.

Lee signed with the San Fran­cisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League after that season and began his major league career with Oeveland in 1933. The highlight of his career came in 1941, when he finished the season with a 22-11 won-lost record and a 2.37 ERA with the third-place White Sox. He had a lifetime big league record of 117 wins, 124 losses, and a 3.5 ERA.

* O'Daniels began his career as a football, basketball, and track coach and faculty member at Cal Poly in 1933 after having held those same assignments across town at Mission High School.

In 11 seasons as football coach (1933-1941 and 1946-1947) his teams compiled a combined record of 54 wins, 34 losses, and six ties.

After three years away from coaching, during which time he worked in the office of Cal Poly President Julian A. McPhee, O'Daniels returned as an assistant football coach in 1950 and con­tinued in that capacity until 1%7.

He is also credited with being a founder of the California Col­legiate Athletic Association, the athletic conference to which Cal Poly still belongs, and the univer­sity's boosters club.

Nominations for the Cal Poly Athletic Hall of Fame and Distinc­tion may be made in any of three areas:

"" Athletes who have distinguished themselves while on

university teams; "" Individuals who have given

exemplary support to the universi­ty's athletics program; and

"" Coaches, athletic ad­ministrators, or athletic depart­

ment staff members who have · : ,~ ~ achieved outstanding success dur- · - · . , · '. • ing their tenure at the university. ·; · ~: _~__

Nominees are reviewed by a - · -.- -­board composed of persons associated with and knowledge- . _-;: -:- "• ..," able about the university's athletics programs. That group then recom­mends a list of inductees to the university president for final approval.

.. Franz Uszt Chamber Orchestra will play

One of the world's great chamber ensembles, Hungary's Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra, will open the Cal Poly Arts · Quintessence Series at 8 pm on Saturday, Oct. 15, in the Theatre.
