Several changes were made to parking lot designations and the parking rules and regulations dur-

ing the 2015-2016 academic year to help ease confusion for member of the campus community.

There are more changes expected for the 2016-2017 year to improve parking lots and road condi-

tions around campus. Some of these changes may have been easily recognized by SIU faculty, staff

and students, but others may be more subtle. Here is a short list of some of those changes that may

affect your day-to-day parking and campus travels.

The parking lot to the east of the Student Center, in the area formally known as McAndrew

Stadium was extended and the entire lot is now Lot 11. Lot 11 is open to all RED DECAL hold-

ers, blue decals may still park in this lot.

The changes to lot 11, made way for resurfacing and reconfiguration of lot 13 and other chang-

es to area parking lots. The parking lot directly west of Travel Service, Lot 13A was changed to

an ALL BLUE DECAL parking lot. Parking lots 10A and 10B, directly east of the Student Ser-

vices Building have been combined into one parking lot and given the appropriate name of

Lot 10. This parking lot is now available only to BLUE DECALS.

Commuter students will no longer be allowed to park in Lot 45, directly south of the Recrea-

tion Center. The entire lot has been changed to ALL GREEN DECALS to eliminate confusion.

The cost to obtain a duplicate decal will be $15.00 and the cost of a one day guest permit will

be $4.00.

New lot signs have been installed in every parking lot to increase readability and ease confu-

sion about who can and cannot park in the designated area.

Parking Lot 5 is now an ALL pay station parking lot. Those who parking in this lot will be re-

quired to pay a minimum of $1.00 for 2 hours.

Parking rules and regulations can be found on the parking website or can be viewed here. Click on

Many theft and burglary incidents reported to the Department of Public Safety can

be avoided by following these safety tips.

Lock your office door

Store valuables out of sight

Lock desk drawers and filing cabinets that contain valuable items or information

Do not leave personal and valuable items unattended

Keep a record and serial numbers for electronic items

Report suspicious persons or activity immediately to police

Do not prop open exterior doors to buildings on campus

Do not let people into buildings after hours that do not have a security pass

Close windows, blinds, and curtains before leaving

Most Common Items Stolen from an Office

Loose change and cash, backpacks, textbooks, electronic items, jewelry, wallets and

purses, anything of value.

BURGLARY PREVENTION How do you keep this guy out of your office?

BURGLARY PREVENTION How do you keep this guy out of your car?

If you bring a car to campus you can help us prevent auto-burglary. Thefts from vehi-

cles occur at all hours, day and night and generally have one thing in common: some-

thing to steal ... something valuable left in the car. Many auto-burglaries are crimes of

opportunity; they could be avoided had simple preventative steps been taken.

Auto-burglary prevention, like all crime prevention, involves limiting the criminal's

ability and/or opportunity to commit the crime. With very little time and effort, you

can make a huge difference in your vulnerability to auto-burglary.

Don’t leave valuables in your car. If you must leave stuff in your car, keep them

out of sight, locked in the glove box, or in the trunk

Lock your car, roll up windows

Park in busy, well-lite areas

Set alarms or anti-theft devices

Most Common Items Stolen from Vehicles

Loose change and cash, backpacks, gym bags, electronic items, jewelry, wallets and

purses, anything of value.

Officers Take to Dunkin’ Donuts Rooftop On Friday, May 20, 2016 officers from the SIU Police Department, Carbondale Police Department, Illi-

nois State Police and John A Logan Police took to the rooftop of the Carbondale Dunkin’ Donuts rais-

What is the Law Enforcement Torch Run?

The Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest year around fundraising effort for Special Olympics Illinois. The Torch

Run has raised more than $39 million over 30 years while increasing awareness of Special Olympics Illinois athletes and their

accomplishments. Each year, more than 3,000 officers cover 1,500 miles carrying the Flame of Hope through the streets of their

hometowns and to the State Summer Games in Normal in June. The intrastate relay and its various fundraising projects have

two goals: to raise money and increase public awareness for the athletes of Special Olympics. The Torch Run has set a goal of

surpassing the $4.1 million raised in 2015.

What is Special Olympic Illinois?

Special Olympics Illinois is a not-for-profit organization offering year-round training and competition in

19 sports for more than 22,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities and more than 20,000 Young Athletes

motor skills, self-confidence, social skills and encourage family support. The first Special Olympics games

were held at Soldier Field in July 1968; the program now is in more than 170 countries.
