Improve Light Status For Greek Students With Solar Street Lights

The lighting status concerns the safety of Pedestrian, especially in the poor area. Now the poor light status of Greek has drawn much attention from the government and the citizen.

Whereas last year the issues of most concern were cracks in the sidewalk and potholes, this year the different groups paid special attention to poorly lit areas around Greek town.

"Especially with some of the crimes that have happened, we're looking for areas where the lighting is bad," said Kaitlin Oxenreider, Missouri Students Association director of student services.

MSA President Tim Noce also expressed concern with lighting in Greek town. Noce said it was an issue that came up during his group's walk, which went around the Rollins Street and Providence Road area.

"The city of Columbia Police Department handles the calls for service in the Greektown area," Weimer said. "We do not have any more or less concern about the area. We work hard with student groups to ensure they have safety information available to them both on and off campus and try to ensure they know how to get any services they may need."

Freshman Kacie Yearout said the phone's discreet design might be a problem.

"It's great that they're there, but if no one knows they're there, what's the point?" Yearout said.

In the fall semester, a Campus Safety Walk was held in conjunction with the Residence Halls Association. For the Greek Safety Walk, a total of 40 students attended, 25 of the representatives were from the Panhellenic Association, 10 were not affiliated with Greek Life and five representatives came from the Interfraternity Council.

What is the solution?

I think the Greek government should install much more high bright solar street lights in campus of universities and the street around these universities. The government does not need to hire many people to maintain these automatic lights and pay great bills for the electricity use for illumination. That is the best choice.
