Unit3：Writing Proposal

Every student concerns about campus safety, so do the parents. Many tragic had already happened before on the school campuses in different states, from the minor problems to the deadly cases: stealing; robbery; rapping and killing. There are some crimes going on in our living environments on campus, there are now just some minor problems, but if we don’t pay attention to them, the small problems will turn into the deadly viruses someday.
Last week in Centennial Halls, our dorm buildings, there were several cases of stolen properties. Students told us the suspects came into their rooms at night while they were asleep, took the electronics out of their rooms. Students went to the front desks and campus safety for helps, but unfortunately no one could help them. There weren’t any cameras on the floors besides the main lobby, the suspects could be outsiders, and they could be one of us who live in the dorm buildings. If that’s the case, we won’t have much chance to find out who actually did the stealing. There are cameras in the elevators, and we need to access the elevators with our student ID cards even though we are in the building, but the cameras aren’t recording all the time, they only record when someone in the elevator press the emergency button. Let’s say that the cameras are on and record all the time, it is hard to tell who the suspects are since almost everyone uses the elevators. There is another way to avoid the cameras. That is using the stairs, with the access from the student ID cards, after you getting into the stairs. There is no camera to record your moves.
The security system in our dorm buildings is kind of effective to the outsiders, but it’s useless to the insiders like us. With the student ID, we can do whatever we want, walk out to the lobby with stolen items in our backpacks, who can tell if they aren’t looks for your classes that you are going to? We should be grateful that they were only crimes of stealing not anything worse. But we sure need to fix the problems to prevent the worse cases from happening.
One good way to do it is to install more cameras in the buildings, on every floor and in the stairs cases as well. We need full time records on the paths where all of us use to go up and down stairs. There we can at least have something to work on when the troubles hit. I know many of us will complain of losing their private times of living on campus, but it is necessary if we want a safer campus.
