For my last positive blog on Wartburg Security, I'd
like to devote some time talking about how they jump start people's cars for
free.
I think this is a ridiculously nice thing that a lot of students don't use much. Mostly because their car batteries never die, but some that do actually call a towing service or auto repair shop to jump a car for them. How do I know some students do that? Well, for starters, when I was a freshman, I did.I called the auto repair place in town and asked for a jump, since their business card they gave me said they'd happily come out and do it for a small price. I figured it wouldn't be a big problem, yet I was wrong when they billed me for $35!
I felt like such a freshman when one of the guys on the soccer team asked me why I didn't just call Security and they'd come out and do it for free. Bottom line, if you can't find a fellow friend to come out to the parking lot and jump your car for you, call security. It's free and a lot of times they'll greet you with a smile, since they like what they do: help you!
Also, for my PSA of the day, I should probably say that it's just a good precaution to keep a pair of jumper cables in your car for good measure. You never know when you or a random person will need a jump and if you aren't on campus, you'll need them. Also a blanket, but that’s a different story.
I’d like to finish my blog by saying thanks to Wartburg Security for helping me with everything on this site. I’ve interviewed John Myers countless times, as well as many officers on the staff, and all of them have been nothing but kind to me. They really are awesome and people don’t realize all they do to keep us safe and happy here at Wartburg.
