The accidents on campus are generally minor. The high incidences in June & July can be attributed to adjustment of new drivers to the campus traffic scheme. However, the increase in the incidence of accidents in Katipunan in August is difficult to explain. It is alarming as it may be increasing in frequency.
At 10:20 p.m. last Saturday, 7 September, a sedan flipped-over at the Katipunan U-turn between Gate 3.5 and Miriam College ’s Gate 1. The guards saw the sedan executing the U-turn at high speed when its left front wheel hit the gutter of the center island and turned turtle.

In all cases, non observance of traffic rules and aggressive (rather than defensive) driving resulted in the vehicular accident.

STRAY DOG
Around 9:30 a.m. yesterday, 12 September, students reported to security a very “friendly dog” following them around at the Gonzaga smokers pocket garden. Campus security collared the dog and brought the dog to the security office. Nobody claimed the dog and one of the guards adopted the “askal”.

1. Keep their dogs on a leash.
2. Clean up after these animals.
3. Be responsible for injury or damage done by their pets.
VANDALISM: Campus security will also apprehend persons caught removing barks of Banaba trees on campus. The banaba trees in the Grade School area are in danger of dying because irresponsible persons have been removing barks for medicinal purposes. This is not allowed on campus.
Banaba trunks with bark extensively removed. University Physical Plant personnel are painting the trunks to protect the trees from vandals.
The community is requested to report to security persons removing barks of banaba trees.
