Richardson Towers parking lot was the site of an alleged kidnapping of two women early Sunday night. While details remain scarce, University of Memphis police have released physical descriptions of those involved.

Students reported to police Sunday that they may have seen an abduction of two women from the Richardson Towers parking lot at about 6:40 p.m.

A TigerText alerting U of M students and faculty to be on the lookout for two women and one man who reportedly left the parking lot together was issued shortly after 10 p.m.

In 2009, after a student was abducted at gunpoint from Richardson Towers and a TigerText alert subsequently issued, Harber said that the TigerText system is used for crimes of a violent and immedi-ate nature.

Further details on the nature of Sunday’s incident were not released, though Police Services did provide descriptions of the involved parties and vehicle.

The occupants were seen in a late-90s, light blue, four-door Honda Civic heading southbound on Patterson Ave., according to Bruce Harber, U of M Police Services director of public safety.

A witness who said he spoke to police said he and friends saw a black man walk toward two white women and get into the described vehicle.

The driver was a white, 20-year-old female with blonde hair wearing a blue shirt and the front seat passenger was a white, 20-year-old female with brown hair wearing a gray and blue shirt.

“The driver was crying and the pas-senger looked really distressed,” said the witness, a male student who lives in Richardson Towers.

He said the body language of the male who got in the backseat of the vehicle is what led him to tell the dorm’s resident advisers to call police.

“He had his arm just laying on the

armrest between the driver and passenger seat. He was looking around,” the witness said.

The back seat passenger was a black, 200-pound male between 21-30 years old, at least six feet tall, with a dark complex-ion and short, natural hairstyle. He was reported wearing a white jacket with gold across the back, according to an email message from Harber.

“We don’t know what, if anything was going on,” he said.

He said that he could not confirm whether the three passengers were students.

“We do not know who any of them are, and we have not been in contact with any of them. We sent the messages last night hoping that someone would contact us with information, including possibly one of the three,” he said.

Police Services is asking anyone with information on the incident to call 901-678-4357.

In the same year Memphis ranked No. 12 on the list of cities with the highest crime rate, The University of Memphis managed to keep one of the lowest rates among universi-ties in the state.

According to Derek Myers, U of M Police Services’ deputy director of public safety, 14.9 crimes per 1,000 students occurred last year at The U of M, which had the third low-est overall incident rate among the ten larg-est Tennessee universities in 2010.

In three years prior The U of M had the lowest incident rate of all state universities.

The rate is not based on the actual num-ber of crimes, but crimes per 1,000 people. Myers said just because The U of M had the lowest incident rate among universities doesn’t mean the campus had the lowest number of crimes.

“It’s not looking at the raw numbers. It’s looking at how many incidents per person because if you’re talking about more people, you would expected your numbers to go up,” Myers said.

Richard Janikowski, director of the cen-ter for communication criminology and research, said looking at incident rates ver-sus actual crime numbers is more accurate when comparing universities.

“Criminologists use rate when they com-pare a cross area because the reality is when you have more people in a location you have a more probability of crime,” he said.

Janikowski said The U of M Police Services is looked to by the city at times for lessons on monitoring crime.

“The University is taking all of the right steps. There is no magical silver bullet that deals with crime, but being proactive in terms of crime reduction is the key and The University has been very proactive,” Janikowski said.

According to the 2010 annual fire and safety report published Friday, The U of M saw 313 total offenses on campus and at buildings affiliated with campus such as fraternity houses and religious organizations last year.

Of those reported, 309 were classified as Group A offenses, a list of 46 crimes that range from theft to murder.

Lady Tigers hold on to perfect recordOctober always brings change

with cooler weather and colorful scenery. The No. 6 University of Memphis women’s soccer team, however, hopes change comes no time soon.

The Lady Tigers wrapped up their five game road trip last weekend

with wins over Marshall and East Carolina to extend their program record winning streak to 12 games and remain perfect on the season.

Friday the Lady Tigers faced off against the Marshall Thundering Herd and were able to squeak out a 1-0 victory. Marshall held the Lady Tigers scoreless until the final min-ute of the game when senior forward Melissa Smith took the game into

her own hands. Dribbling through the Thundering Herd defense, Smith found an opening and fired the game winner from five yards away to give the Lady Tigers the only score of the game with 45 seconds remaining.

“We were all over them,” said Smith. “We had the ball at their

When Joyce White began first grade at Rozelle Elementary school in 1961, she said her name for the next three years there changed.

“The word,” she said. “The N word.”

White said she had never been called the name before starting school.

“But it got to a point where it was just like waking up in the morning. It was something that was inevitable, something that they did and they took pride in doing and you know who they’re talking to because it’s only you there,” she said. “So you learn not

to respond to it, and it takes the sting out of it.”

White was among 13 first-graders who helped desegre-gate one of four Memphis City Schools in 1961. Their stories will be shown tonight in the docu-mentary “The Memphis 13” at the Paradiso Movie Theatre at 6 p.m.

Directed and produced by U of M law professor Daniel Kiel, the 45-minute documentary is free and open to the public and chronicles the memories of the 13 first graders who made history 50 years ago.

Kiel said he was inspired to tell the stories of the Memphis 13 by doing research in legal cases that involved social change and

education. “What’s always missing from

my research is the human side of the story,” he said. “I think it’s important as a legal scholar to understand that there are people affected by litigation.”

Kiel said the stories of the Memphis 13 are inspiring and not many Memphis know about them.

“I would like people to know about this moment in Memphis history and to honor those whose lives have been directly impacted by it and to ask questions about what this experience has been like,” he said. “I hope this can be the beginning of a conversation.”

He said the experiences of the 13, then children, is unique

because they were isolated. Their school friends were a different race from them, they were sepa-rated from one another and the children in their grade and some-

times they felt isolated from their own parents.

“They were each on an island.

“I’ve never felt unsafe here on campus, but if I was there late at night, I would feel a bit

uncomfortable.”

— Court Nixon, Communications freshman

“In general, I do feel pretty safe, but I think that the time of day and where you are on cam-pus play a big part in crime.”

— Andy Fong, Criminal justice junior

“I wish that the gates would open around campus at night ... I feel sketchy walking around

Walker and the UC area at night.”

— Chelsea Rainey, Communications senior

“I always feel safe on campus. I have lived on and off campus

and I feel safe either way.”

— Nuria Espin, International studies junior

“I feel safe most of the time, but at night it’s not really safe because most of the doors on

The ninth annual University of Memphis student health fair will be Oct. 5 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the stu-dent activities plaza near the fountain.

Over 50 exhibitors from both

The U of M and off-campus organizations will showcase health related information during Wednesday’s health fair. Organizations attending include the American Cancer Association, The U of M psy-chology department and cam-pus recreation to name a few.

“These organizations

are available for students to improve, or maintain, their health and wellness,” Jacqueline De Fouw, health educator said. “We try to get all different realms. We try to have something there for mind, body, spirit, and we also have financial health represented.”

This year ’s health fair focus

is exercising and is also the launching point of U of M’s “Healthier New Century” campaign, with a speech from provost Ralph Faudree at the beginning of the fair.

A three-mile fun run/walk around The U of M cam-pus will take place the same Wednesday at 7 a.m. for stu-

dents who want to burn some calories before classes.

De Fouw said the health fair is health services’ largest event attracting 3,000 to 4,000 students annually.

“Everybody will get some-thing out of the fair that will help their health,” De Fouw said.

University of Memphis Alumnus and First Tennessee Bank President Charles Burkett announced that The U of M has launched the most ambitious fundraising initiative in its 100-year history.

The announcement came Sept. 30 at a dinner before the Centennial Kickoff Concert at the Cannon Center, sponsored by the First Tennessee Foundation.

“The timing of this campaign

is ideal because it coincides with the University’s celebration of its Centennial anniversary,” Burkett said. “When you look at what’s happening at the University of Memphis, you can’t help but want to be involved in the University’s future. I am proud to be involved in a project that will ensure the University’s continued progress.”

The Empowering the Dream campaign is comprehensive, meaning donors can give to any area they wish. The U of M relies on funds from private donors to provide support for students, for

faculty and to repair and build new facilities.

“To date the Centennial Campaign has raised more than $185 million toward a $250 mil-lion goal that The University has had ongoing for the past several years,” Bobby Prince, associate vice president for development, said.

He said that the campaign would mean scholarships for undergraduates, fellowships for graduate students and facil-ity enhancements for specific pro-grams and departments.

Money would also go to sup-port faculty with their research efforts as well as attract leading scholars so that at least ten percent of its faculty can be supported through named, endowed profes-sorships and chairs.

“The University of Memphis has already completed the $12 million move of the Cecil C. Humphreys Law School to Downtown Memphis,” Prince said. “The University also hopes to construct an indoor practice facility for the football team and a music center. “

The University turns down hun-dreds of qualified medical appli-cants each year because of lack of space, according to Prince. A new Loewenberg School of Nursing and the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders will allevi-ate those rejections.

“The University has experi-enced tremendous growth in its first century, with record enroll-ments, new facilities, and produc-tive community and philanthropic partnerships. But the best is yet to come,” U of M President Shirley Raines said Friday night.

The Civility Campaign is kind-ly asking University of Memphis students to attend Respect Day on Oct. 6 at 12:30 p.m. until 3 p.m. on the University Center Alumni Mall.

The kick-off will provide stu-dents with information on how to get involved with the grass-roots organization that strives for “respect for self, others and the community,” said Susan Te Paske, member of the steering committee.

“The campaign grew out of an initiative of Student Affairs,

with the question of ‘What does civility mean on campus?’” Colton Cockrum, co-chair of the Campaign committee, said.

The Campaign is comprised of U of M students, staff and faculty and a student affairs division. Their goal is to spread the idea of civility throughout the U of M campus by promoting respectful treatment of oneself and others.

“During September, we had some low-key events, and now we are ready to have the big kick-off,” Bob Barnett, director of the university center and mem-ber of the steering committee, said.

In order to become part of the

campaign, students must sign a pledge on the campaign web page or sign at the Respect Day kick-off.

“There will be tables set up for signing the pledge, food tables and student groups,” said Barnett. “We are hoping to draw around 1,000 people.”

“Students, who join the cam-paign will be required to submit ideas for the campaign, enter Random Acts of Kindness on the webpage, as well as attend cam-paign events, such as ‘Why Do You Hate Me Week?’ but there are no dues,” Te Paske said.

The campaign currently is holding a video contest, REcord,

on “Respect: Civility at the University of Memphis” dur-ing the fall semester. The video entries should express what civility means to the student and the world around them. The top three winners will receive $300, $200, and $100 in dining credit respectively. The videos will also be featured on the campaign’s web page.

More information and guide-lines can be found on the cam-paign web page.

“Students are to submit vid-eos to capture the motto of the Civility Campaign,” said Cockrum. “The focus is to be all encompassing.”

Tigers foot-ball player Taylor Bradford was shot in C a r p e n t e r Complex at about 10 p.m. in the fall semes-ter of my soph-omore year at

The University of Memphis.He was later pronounced

dead.A TigerText alert was issued

by U of M Police Services six hours later at 4 a.m. A campus safety alert was emailed to stu-dents shortly thereafter.

Six hours.Had I not lived in Carpenter

Complex at the time, seen the flashing blue lights of U of M police cruisers and stepped outside to see what was hap-pening, I wouldn’t have known that campus was effectively locked down.

I wouldn’t have known that police were searching for a gunman in the area.

I wouldn’t have known that there was a crime of a violent and immediate nature – the usual standard for issu-ing a TigerText alert, as Police Services director Bruce Harber has said in the past – that took place near my campus dorm until six hours afterward.

The alert in question said, “Classes canceled. Main cam-pus only. All offices open. Tune to local media or call 678-0888 for more information.”

A U of M stu-dent had been murdered. The safety of stu-dents in the area had been jeopardized.

And Police Services offered almost no infor-mation on the matter in their first official noti-fication of the incident.

The U of M’s self-described system to “immediately com-municate emergencies” to fac-ulty, students and staff was miserably un-communicative and un-immediate.

Such was the case on Sunday night, when a vague TigerText alert was issued concern-ing three people outside The U of M’s largest and arguably most problematic dormitory, Richardson Towers.

In a dorm where illegal activ-ity is oft-acknowledged by stu-dents and residents, even bra-zenly publicized by others (see Tiger Babble, page 2), a TigerText dangling the possibility of dan-ger in front of students was ill-received by many.

A U of M student was abducted at gunpoint from the Richardson Towers parking lot

in 2009, an incident many resi-dents told The Daily Helmsman that they feared had happened again on Sunday after receiving the alert.

But they didn’t know.More than 40 residents inter-

viewed by The Daily Helmsman, including resident advisers speaking on the condition of anonymity, knew little to noth-ing about a crime on campus that, according to Harber’s cri-teria for the use of TigerText, was violent or immediate in nature.

And with President Shirley Raines and Police Services working so hard in recent years to maintain the campus’ status as the safest in the state (see page 1), it seems that ignorance among students is just what they want.

Helmsman reporters are regu-larly forced to jump through hoops – printing fees, waiting periods, the withholding of details – by Police Services to obtain public information from a public university.

Filtering and controlling such information has given The U of M a safe but mislead-ing reputation, one built on a strategy that ignores its loca-

tion near nota-bly danger-ous areas in Memphis.

Though sev-eral of the most violent crimes against stu-dents in recent memory have indeed been

committed off campus, their proximity to The University has been startling.

Nearly one year ago, two U of M students were bound and

beaten, one of them shot, just blocks from campus at their Southern Avenue home.

In 2008, two students were abducted from the Stratum apartment complex on Mynders and Highland, also just blocks from campus, in a brutal rob-bery where one was shot and the other was raped.

Neither counted as a University-reported crime in its annual safety report.

The University’s hands were clean, but the student commu-nity was shaken, as it was on Sunday night.

In this case, if the fears of some Richardson Towers residents are realized, The University’s hands won’t be clean.

A Weekly Devotional For You

The Consequences of Illicit Sex

We have been considering sex in the last couple of devotionals. We have seen that sex is a great gift of God that is to be enjoyed between a man and woman who are married. All other sexual activity is forbidden by God. When God forbids something, we are foolish to ignore His prohibitions. There are serious negative consequences when people break God’s sexual laws. Some of these negative consequences are emotional. When a girl gives herself to a man she is not married to, she really loses his respect and her self-respect. I know a couple who were married for over twenty years and had several children. When the marriage was put under pressure, the wife threw up to her husband the premarital sex they had engaged in. Sadly this marriage broke up. When people have the self-discipline, self-respect, respect for each other, and respect for God to wait until marriage, they trust themselves and they trust each other. This trust and mutual respect are priceless. Don’t throw this away with a brief fling of passion. There are also physical consequences of illicit sexual activity. Many a young person has had his or her life blighted by an STD. There is also the danger of pregnancy, which many try to rectify by the brutal taking of an innocent life. This guilt is terrible. Live by God’s laws and avoid these horrendous consequences.

M has the third largest stu-dent body in the state. It is roughly 2,000 pupils small-er than Middle Tennessee State University and about 7,000 students lower than The University of Tennessee, which boasts the largest stu-dent body.

Only nine Group A offens-es are required by law to be reported to the Department of Education. Of those offenses, in 2009 the U of M and MTSU reported 62 crimes and UT reported 88.

Myers said the atmosphere of The University is what helps keep incident rates low.

“We have had where loose change taken from a desk actually gets counted as a burglary. We basically have a much more active population that is going to report every-thing they see that they think should be reported,” Myers said.

The U of M saw a 1.8 per-cent decrease in its incident rate from 2009 to 2010. The only actual crime to increase was burglaries in non-campus buildings. This was due to a string of fraternity house break-ins, Myers said.

They’re five and six years old and so they’re really trying to have a normal first grade experi-ence,” he said. “It’s this contrast of a normal first grade life such as learning how to read and the extraordinary breaking down centuries old barriers that really makes it real.”

White, now a University of Memphis custodial supervisor, said before she started school, she and her mother had a talk.

“She told me what a good experience it would be and how it would be a better education for me,” White said. “She really wanted me to do it, but I was a small child and it really meant nothing to me. Someone was tell-ing me something is good, but I couldn’t see it.”

On her first day of school, police officers surrounded the building and monitored onlook-ers as she and three others arrived.

“It was strange,” said White. “Four small children and people standing on either side of you like you were being exhibited. I couldn’t describe it no other way.”

It wasn’t until third grade that White said she’d had enough, and she was tired of feeling lone-ly. Though she went to Rozelle with three other black students, they were all in separate class-rooms. White said when she

made friends she couldn’t visit their homes and they could not visit hers.

“The school was so far away I couldn’t even walk home. As a child I think the biggest differ-ence was that I was unhappy,” she said. “A 5-year-old doesn’t have hatred or malice in their heart, that’s something that’s taught. And people taught their children that.”

When she transferred to her second school, this time predomi-nantly black, White said it was as if she had gone home.

“It was wonderful. The differ-ence was that I had people that didn’t look at me differently, they didn’t treat me any differently,” she said. “It was like being at home.”

Still, White said she noticed the differences.

“It was good because at Rozelle I had brand new books, books no one ever touched, but at Walker the books had five or six names in them,” she said.

Jane Folk, one of the film’s co-producers and a U of M alumnus, said the Memphis 13 are unsung heroes.

Folk said what the 13 did made an impact not only on Memphis, but the country.

“I don’t believe their story has been told before because it takes people a while to realize who the real heroes are and a lot of times, they never recognized for what they do,” she said. “It’s not too late to let them feel uplifted for what they did.”

18-yard line the whole time and just couldn’t score. We just kept trying for it. I played the ball in to Kelley (Gravlin) and she played it back to me and I had one defender to beat and just kicked it in.”

It was the lone goal in a game where offensively the Lady Tigers continually missed out on scoring oppor-tunities, despite dominating the stat sheet. The Lady Tigers outshot the Thundering Herd 27-11.

“This is one of those games where a win is a win,” head coach Brooks Monaghan said. “We stayed composed and kept playing tonight and I am proud of our girls for that.”

After edging past Marshall, the Lady Tigers then traveled to Greeneville, N.C., to take on the East Carolina Pirates. The Lady Tigers won the match 2-0 and had a little help from the Pirates in doing so.

In the 26th minute, Lady Tiger junior defender Christie Kline kicked the ball from midfield to the Pirates’ 18-yard box. Pirate defender Kendall Booth ensued to clear the ball by heading it, only to accidently knock the ball into her own goal to give the Lady Tigers a 1-0 advantage.

Sophomore forward Rasheeda Ansari added to the advantage in the 63rd minute by booting the ball into the back of the net for a 2-0 lead that the Lady Tigers main-tained the rest of the way. And with seven games remaining, four of them at home, the Lady Tigers know that a per-fect season is realistic.

“It’s in the back of our mind,” senior goalkeeper Elise Kuhar-Pitters said. “But we only focus on one game at a time. We say ‘hey that would be cool to have an undefeat-ed season,’ but we keep our focus on one game because you can’t have an undefeated season without taking care of what is in front of you.”’

It was supposed to be anoth-er easy win for The University of Memphis Tigers football team.

At first glance it started out that way – as the Tigers built a 17-0 lead en route to hav-ing a 17-10 lead by halftime. The Tigers (1-4, 0-1 in C-USA) ended up succumbing to a late rally by Middle Tennessee, los-ing 38-31 in devastating fashion on the road in Murfreesboro.

The Tigers were spurred early by senior running back Billy Foster and freshman quar-terback Taylor Reed, both of whom scored on the ground to help the Tigers build a lead midway through the second quarter. MTSU responded with 17 straight points to tie the game. The Blue Raiders even-tually would capture the lead in the late stages, winning their first game of the season and handing the Tigers their fourth

loss in five games this season.“We were ready to play this

game,” head coach Larry Porter said. “Even when they came back, we responded. This is a painful loss, and there were a number of opportunities we

had to win this game and we could not get it done. I hurt deeply for this team because I thought the effort they brought tonight was good enough to get a win.”

The Tigers played one of their best games, this season,

offensively on Saturday. The ground attack accumulated 165 yards of rushing, totaling three scores, and was led by Foster’s two touchdowns on 23 carries and freshman Artaves Gibson’s 54 yards on 14 car-

ries. Reed completed 23-of-32 passes for 230 yards and one score, with 10 catches going to senior Tanner Rehrer. Seven of Rehrer’s career high 10 catches were for first downs.

“The ball didn’t bounce our way,’’ Rehrer said. ‘‘This one

hurts …hurts real bad. But on another note we battled our butts off and proved we can put up points.’’

The 31 points were the most by a Porter-led team thus far in his tenure. But this time the defense struggled more so than the inept offense that hasn’t shown progress over the last few weeks. The defense couldn’t maintain the lead the offense gave them and allowed the winning touchdown in the closing sec-onds of the game. With only 1:41 remaining in the game and the score nodded at 31 apiece, MTSU drove down the field and scored, putting them up 38-31 and sending the Tigers home with another heartbreaking loss.

“It was a great effort by our team as a whole,” junior defen-sive tackle Dontari Poe said. “There is a lot we can learn from this game. But at the end of the day, we have to learn how to pull out the win.”
