There was generally poor lighting outside and many areas where people felt insecure, returning to their rooms in the evening. There was also the layout in the section of rooms that I was staying in where you reached your room by climbing up stairs that went around outside the building so that it was obvious to anyone outside or in the parking lot that you were going back to your room alone or that you were leaving it. Speaking for myself alone this didn't make me feel real comfortable and I remember several women coming and going in groups because of that. Can the board say if these conditions have been in any way improved by say the installation of more lighting on the ground in remote places? L.S.
