ark ark boo. That's insane! I should hope that in a true life-threatening emergency, most people would have the sense to call 911 first. Still, that's crazy. Campus Safety is a very important department, and needs to be easily reached.
I remember once when I accidentally dialed 911 at school (Dialing long-distance involves dialing 9 for an outside line, then 1 for long distance code, except my phone was on crack and it dialed 1 twice) at Macalester. I explained to the 911 operator that I had dialed a wrong number, and hung up when she acknowledged it. Just a minute or two later, the phone rang--it was campus security. Their system informs them of any 911 calls from campus. I was quite impressed.
