Emergency

     Walking through the University of Texas Campus you will see yellow emergency call boxes .  There are just under 200 of these boxes with their blue lights  Most of the use of the boxes comes from students who art lost or a press of the button as a prank. Activating one of these emergency call boxes for a non emergency  is a class B misdemeanor punishable up to 180 day in jail and a fine of $2000  They were installed on campus before the world of cell phones had arrived.   Now days, the call boxes are a lot less essential to campus safety but their perception gives a feeling of safety in the area where they are located.  I pass them all the time as I walk the campus but I've never seen one of them in use.  Maybe that's a good thing, at least I know my surroundings are safe.  I do like the blue light on the top of each box,  It kind of reminds me of a space ship.  The University of Texas is a world unto it's self so maybe  the boxes were really put on campus by aliens
