Rensselaer in Brief
Athletic facility security
RPI will soon be instituting new security measures for the ’87 Gym, the Mueller Center, the Armory, and the Robison Pool. On October 11, access to those buildings will be by RPI ID cards for students and via telephone for visitors and others.

Also, all access to the Mueller Center, Armory, and Robison Pool will be via the Mueller Center entrance. All access to the ’87 Gym will be through the south main entry doors. Students can find out if they have an proximity enabled card if there is a five digit number at the top left hand of the reverse side of their ID.

These athletic facilities now join the campus dormitories, VCC, Folsom Library, MRC, Academy Hall, Troy Building, the Greene Building, and the Biotech center in being controlled by proximity based access control systems.

Guardian Angels in Troy
Following a cold reception by Mayor Harry Tutunjian, residents have invited the Guardian Angels and their leader Curtis Sliwa, back to Troy. The Guardian Angels are a group that encourages citizens to take crime reporting into their own hands by spotting crime and informing police – all while wearing a distinctive red cap or belt.

Though sometimes accused as acting in a vigilante capacity, many citizens of Troy, particularly those in the minority communities, indicated that they were fearful of Troy Police. Others were frustrated with the Troy Police Department’s seeming inability to track down violent criminals and the sheer volume of crime taking place in Troy.

Albany and Schenectady recently welcomed the Guardian Angels and Troy is now the third city in the capital region to have a chapter of the organization.
