FACTS ABOUT GHB:
GHB is usually doled out by capfuls, teaspoons, drops, or "swigs".
It may be sold or passed around in containers of varying sizes,
including sports bottles, designer water bottles, eye dropper bottles,
baby food jars, sample size shampoo bottles, or plastic water jugs.
Or it may be offered as a small paper cup of clear liquid.
When it dissolves in a drink, it is colorless and odorless. However,
it may be recognizable by its slightly salty taste.
Sometimes people who lace drinks with GHB attempt to mask the salty
taste of the drug by mixing it with a sweet liqueur, or they might
try to explain the salty taste by calling the special potion a "energy
drink."
GHB can render an unsuspecting individual unconscious with as little
as a teaspoon mixed in a drink.
Even small amounts mixed with alcohol can cause an overdose.
Does not produce the extreme muscle paralysis and extreme memory
loss associated with Rohypnol, but the chances of not remembering
are very high.

impossible to remember, speak, or respond.
When taken in combination with alcohol and other drugs, it is likely
to cause death due to the enhanced central nervous system depression.

Rape Crisis Center (off-campus) is available 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week, for help at, 225-383-RAPE.
Safety
Tips
SUBR
students are more often the victims rather than the perpetrators
of crime. Using some simple safety precautions will greatly reduce
your chance of becoming a victim of crime.
PROTECTING
YOURSELF AT HOME, IN YOUR ROOM, DORM OR APARTMENT
Lock your door, even when you intend to return home shortly or even
if you are just going down the hall. It takes a thief ten seconds
or less to enter an open room and steal your property.
Lock or secure doors and windows when you are alone or asleep.
Do not leave valuables lying out in plain sight. Record the serial
number of your valuables or engrave your drivers license or social
security number on the item.
Keep emergency numbers by your phone.
Do not leave messages on your door indicating that you are away
and when you will return.
Do not let strangers enter dormitory or premises.
Do not prop open outer doors.
If someone asks to use your phone for an emergency call, offer to
telephone for them instead of allowing them access.
Do not put your address on your key ring.
Know your neighbors.
Do not leave keys in hiding places. Thieves will find them. Carry
your keys or make sure that anyone who truly needs them has their
own copy.
Call 771-2770 (3-2770 from any Campus phone) to report suspicious
persons or activity in or around your neighborhood. Off campus,
call 911.
Open a savings or checking account instead of keeping money in your
room.
Keep automatic teller machine cards in a safe place, keep your PIN
number secret. When possible, only use ATM's during the day.
Instead of carrying large sums of cash use a charge card. Some charge
cards insure property purchased with those cards against loss, theft
or damage.
If you find yourself in immediate danger, call 771-2770 (3-2770
from any Campus phone); try to stay calm and get away at first opportunity.
PROTECT
YOURSELF WHEN WALKING 
Avoid walking alone at night unless absolutely necessary.
Keep to well lit, commonly travelled routes.
Avoid shortcuts and dark, isolated areas.
Walk purposefully, know where you are going, project a no-nonsense
image.
Avoid potentially dangerous situations.
If you feel threatened, cross the street, locate an emergency phone,
or enter a store or place of business even if you have just left
it.
Have your door keys ready; carry them in your pockets, not buried
in a purse.
PROTECT
YOUR AUTO or BICYCLE
Always lock your car. Never leave the windows down while it is unattended.
Do not leave tempting valuables or property visible inside the car.
Lock these items in the trunk.
Lock bikes to bike racks with hardened-alloy locks and chains or
u-shaped locks to prevent thefts.
PROTECTING
YOURSELF WHEN DRIVING
Look into your car before getting in. Lock doors and roll up windows
once inside for protection.
Never pick up strangers.
Carry change for emergency calls. 911 is a free call.
Drive to a police or fire station or open place of business if you
feel you are being followed.
Do not stop to help occupants of stopped or disabled vehicles.
Continue driving to the nearest phone and call assistance for them.
Raise the hood, then lock yourself into your car if it breaks down.
If someone stops and offers you help, remain in your car and ask
them to phone for help. Do not worry about seeming rude.
Crime
Prevention Tips
Crime
prevention means being aware of your environment and remaining alert
to situations that could make you vulnerable to crime. We cannot
list specific measures that will protect you from every threatening
situation which may arise.
Instead,
we hope to teach you how to think "crime prevention" in
day-to-day living. The suggestions presented should not be thought
of as a list of crime prevention measures, but as examples of common
sense behavior that will help you to make life safer and more secure.
Throughout
the year, the SUBR Police Department talks to a wide variety of
groups on campus. Topics range from personal safety to sexual assault
prevention.
The
SUBR Police Department is committed to meeting the needs of the
community by presenting these programs as requested by the various
campus organizations.
To
schedule a crime prevention program or talk, please contact the
SUBR Police Department at 771-2770 (3-2770 from any Campus phone).
PROTECT
YOURSELF 
LOCK
THE DOOR to your apartment or residence hall when you are alone,
asleep, or out of the room. A locked door affords extra protection.
DO
NOT OPEN your door to strangers. If your door has a peep hole,
use it to identify visitors before allowing access. Report any problems
with your door's security devices immediately to your Hall Director
or to your apartment manager.
DO
NOT GIVE YOUR NAME, address, or phone number to strangers. If
you have your name published in the local telephone directory, use
only initials and do not list your address.
WHEN
GOING OUT, let your roommate, or a friend, or a staff member
know where you are going, with whom, and when you expect to return.
If you choose to stay out, call that person and let him/her know.
AT
NIGHT, travel in frequently used and well lighted areas. Avoid
taking "shortcuts". Utilize the services offered by the
Evening Campus Shuttle. This is a safe and free way to travel between
campus buildings and parking lots during the evening hours. The
Evening Campus Shuttle telephone number is 771-6222 (3-6222 from
any Campus phone)
WALK
FACING TRAFFIC whenever possible. This increases awareness of
potential traffic hazards and also reduces the possibility of being
followed by someone in a vehicle. Avoid walking by the curb or near
buildings or shrubbery. Walk in the middle of the sidewalk with
confidence.
IF
YOU FEEL THREATENED or suspect that you are being followed,
walk toward lighted areas where there are people. Look over your
shoulder frequently - this lets the follower know that you are aware
of both his presence and your surroundings.
EMERGENCY
CALL BOXES give you direct access to the SUBR Police Department
24 hours a day. Use these call boxes to contact the Police Department
for any reason. If in an emergency you are unable to talk to the
dispatcher, just press the button and a police officer will respond
to your location immediately.
WHEN
RIDING IN A CAR, keep the doors locked. Park in the most lighted
area you can find. Upon returning to your car, have your keys ready
as you approach your vehicle. Check the back and front seats to
make sure that the car is empty before you get in.
DO
NOT PICK UP HITCHHIKERS and do not hitchhike.
IF
ANYTHING MAKES YOU LOOK TWICE OR FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, CALL THE POLICE.
REPORT ANY UNUSUAL OR SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY IMMEDIATELY.
USE
THE TELEPHONE ON YOUR TERMS, not the caller's. Do not talk to
someone unless you want to. If the caller makes an obscene or improperly
suggestive remark, HANG-UP. The police should be notified if the
telephone calls continue.
PROTECT YOUR POSSESSIONS AT HOME

LOCK
YOUR DOOR when you are away from your room, apartment or house.
Most thefts and burglaries of student's rooms occur when the doors
remain unlocked. By locking the door behind you the opportunity
is reduced. Remember that it takes less than 30 seconds to get "ripped
off".
KEEP
WINDOWS CLOSED AND LOCKED when away from your room or your apartment.
This protects your belongings from theft and intrusion.
KEEP
A RECORD OF THE SERIAL NUMBERS of all your belongings. Items
of value that do not have a serial number should be engraved with
your driver's license number, Social Security number and photographed.
Clothing can be marked with an indelible laundry marker.
DO
NOT ADVERTISE YOUR VALUABLES. Keep them out of sight. Arrange
your room so that high-risk items such as stereos, televisions and
cameras are not visible from the hallway when the door is open,
or from ground level windows.
ITEMS
OF HIGH MONETARY VALUE which have minimal use in a university
environment (such as expensive jewelry, personal or family mementos,
or collections of any kind) should be left at home. Very expensive
items should be stored in a safe deposit box at your bank or credit
union.
DO
NOT KEEP LARGE SUMS OF CASH in your room or apartment. A checking
account is safer. Remember to keep your checks in a secure place.
Do not talk indiscriminately about receiving money. There is no
need to advertise to potential thieves.
INSURANCE
in Residence Halls covers the institution's property only. Residents
are encouraged to provide their own insurance against loss of or
damage to personal possessions. If your family has homeowner's insurance,
check with your family agent about coverage. There are a variety
of renter's policies available from insurance carriers for apartment
dwellers. On-campus residents may contact the Department of Residential
Housing for insurance information.
PROTECT YOURSELF IN YOUR CAR
LOCK
YOUR CAR and take the keys with you. Many car burglaries and
car thefts occur because the owner did not take time to secure the
car. Don't make your car a target of opportunity by leaving it unlocked.
DO
NOT PARK in isolated, dark places if these areas can be avoided.
Park where there are people about and where the car will be lighted.
DO
NOT LEAVE VALUABLE items unattended in your car. Place expensive
items such as cameras, packages and even text books in the locked
trunk.
WHILE
RIDING IN YOUR CAR be aware of your surroundings. When approaching
an intersection, leave one or two car lengths distance between your
car and the car in front of you. This creates an escape route should
the need arise. If bumped from behind, remain inside your car and
keep the windows rolled up. If possible, drive to a safe location
such as a conveinence store, police station or other populated area
and report the accident. Bumping from behind is a common method
used in Carjackings.
PROTECT YOURSELF IN PUBLIC AREAS 
DO
NOT LEAVE PERSONAL PROPERTY UNATTENDED. In public areas, such
as the Library, Student Union and classrooms, do not leave your
personal effects unattended, even "for just a minute."
DO
NOT CARRY MORE CASH than you need. Avoid "flashing"
your cash in public.
DO
NOT CARRY BOTH YOUR IDENTIFICATION cards and checks in your
wallet. Keep them separate: I.D.s in your wallet in one pocket and
your checkbook in another pocket. Do not write your PIN number down.
If you do lose your checkbook or bank card, the thief will not have
access to that number.
CARRY
YOUR PURSE OR BACKPACK close to your body, and keep a tight
grip on it.
MARK
ITEMS that you normally take to class, such as textbooks, backpacks
and calculator, with either your name or driver's license number.
KEEP
A LIST of your credit cards, identification cards and checking
account numbers. If they are stolen or lost, you will have a list
of numbers to provide to the police. Remember that you must not
only contact the police, but all of the credit card companies and
banks with which you do business. Make these notifications immediately.
Cellular
telephones are an excellent way to remain in touch and summon help
in an emergency.
BICYCLES 
LOCK
IT IF YOU CARE. Never leave your bicycle unlocked and unattended.
The Police Department recommends that bicycles be secured with an
oversized "U" shaped bicycle lock, or with a lock-and-chain/cable
combination which has at least a 5/8-inch diameter chain or steel
cable and which is secured by a padlock. The padlock should have
a hardened case and shank, with a shank diameter of at least 3/8
inch. Do not lock bikes to themselves or to railings or buildings.
ENGRAVE
your bicycle with your name or driver's license number and keep
a record of it with a description of the bike and serial number.
The
SUBR Police Department provides bicycle registration services for
a fee, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at William
L. Pass Station, B.A. Little Drive. Each registration consists of
a bicycle permit which complies with the City of Baton Rouge Registration
Ordinance. It is necessary to bring your bicycle with you to complete
the registration process.
PERSONAL SECURITY AT THE OFFICE

*
Never leave your purse, backpack or briefcase in plain view.
*
Personal property should be marked with your driver's license number.
*
Don't leave cash or valuables at the office.
*
If you work alone or before/after normal business hours, keep the
office door locked.
*
If you work late, try to find another worker or call for an escort
when exiting the building.
*
Be alert for pickpockets on crowded elevators.
*
Be aware of escape routes for emergencies, and post phone numbers
of the campus police near telephones.
*
Be extra careful in stairwells and restrooms.
*
In an elevator, stand near the controls and locate the emergency
button.
*
If you are assaulted while in an elevator, hit the emergency or
alarm button and press as many floor buttons as possible.
RULES FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY
IN RESIDENCE HALLS
Specific
student housing rules and procedures have been developed and implemented
to make your building a safe and secure home. Following are examples
of some important rules designed to enhance the safety and security
of residents. No matter what type of security program is implemented,
there are no foolproof measures, and nothing is effective without
the support of every individual to not violate those measures.
DURING
EVENING AND NIGHT HOURS, always leave and enter through the
main entrance.
NEVER
LET GUESTS into the building through any door other than the
main entrance.
NEVER
ADMIT uninvited nonresidents into the building. Do not let strangers
into the building as your guests.
GUESTS
must be checked-in through the proper procedures. This is for the
guests' protection as well as the protection of the other hall residents.
REPORT
any unescorted person or stranger to the police at once. You do
not need to contact a staff member prior to calling the police in
such a case.
DO
NOT LEND the keys to your room nor your student identification
card to anyone.
UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you prop open any exterior door. Although
it may seem harmless and convenient, you are endangering both yourself
and everyone else. The exterior doors are locked for your safety.
Neither should interior fire doors be propped open. Doing so eliminated
their effectiveness in preventing the spread of fire or smoke.
NO
MOTORCYCLES, FIREARMS, FIREWORKS OR PETS ARE ALLOWED IN RESIDENCE
HALLS. For further information contact the Department of Residential
Housing at 771-3590.
NEVER
GO ONTO THE LEDGES outside your window. It's a long but very
quick trip to the ground.
DO
NOT PLAY PRACTICAL JOKES. These seemingly harmless activities
often lead to unforeseen injury or damage.
KNOW HOW TO CALL FOR HELP

For
any POLICE , FIRE, or Medical Emergency, dial 771-2770 (3-2770 from
any Campus phone).

emergency.
FIRE
ALARMS - If you hear a fire alarm, you must leave the building
immediately. In multi-story buildings, do not use the elevator;
