Tips that will
Reduce Your
Chances of
Auto Theft
Here are some “don’ts” to avoid that
will reduce your chances of becom-
ing a victim of auto theft.
Never, never, never leave a vehicle
with the motor running, whether it’s
at a convenience store, gas station,
ATM or any other location.
Many vehicles are stolen every year
due to this carelessness. A vehicle
left running is also a safety hazard
and could result in a huge liability
law suit against you if the vehicle
lurches out of gear or otherwise
causes damage or physical injury. In
addition, over the past few months
there has been an increase in vehicle
thefts where pets and even young
children and babies were taken in
stolen vehicles.
When pumping gas or paying for it,
keep your wallet and purse with
you; don’t leave it in the vehicle or
on the floor of the vehicle – crimi-
nals often target gas stations for this
reason.
If you go to the gym, never place
your keys in a gym bag – keep them
with you; criminals will rifle
through your belongings while you
are working out and take a stolen set
of keys and press the remote alarm
to find the vehicle. Gyms are a
favorite target spot for thieves and,
in some cases, the thief works with a
fitness club employee to commit
crimes

Ludley’s contributions to education at
Clayton State have been many in both of
his fields of expertise, and have included
being a part of the graduate faculty and
developing the first graduate art courses.
He has also served as the art area coordina-
tor for the Department of Visual and
Performing Arts for the past few years.
On the literary side, Ludley was the first
senior editor of the student literary journal,
Cygnet.
“(Art professor) Alan Xie and I spent late
nights at the printer getting those first issues
of the Cygnet published!” he remembers.
A published poet among his other accom-
plishments, Ludley also originated the
University’s popular Poetrypalooza poetry
contests and organized the first Poetry
Slams at Clayton State.
Outside of the academic arena, Ludley was
elected by the Clayton State faculty to serve
on the Clayton State University Foundation
Board of Trustees in 2009.
Ludley holds a B.A. (English Major, Art
Minor) and M.A. (English) from Illinois
State University. He received his Ph.D. in
Art History and English from the Graduate
Institute of the Liberal Arts at Emory
University in 1981.
A member of a teaching family – his father
and mother were both teachers, as was his
sister and brother – Ludley was an adminis-
trator at Triton College in Chicago prior to
coming Clayton State in September 1976.
Among the courses he has taught at Clayton
State have been; American Art Visions, Art
of the Modern World, Art of the Pre-
Modern World, British Literature II, Drama
Appreciation, English Composition I,
English Composition II, English Skills,
Great Works in Art History (specialized
masters), Museum Studies (Study Abroad
in London), Nineteenth and Twentieth-
Century French Art (Study Abroad in
Paris), Survey of Art: Realism to Present
Day, Survey of Art History (Study Abroad
in London and Paris), Survey of Art History
I, Survey of Art History II, Survey of Art:
Early Christian to Romanticism, and
Survey of Art: Prehistoric to Medieval.
More recently, he has created and taught
courses in Contemporary Art and
Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Art.
His fields of interest are, in research: Pre-
Raphaelite, Turner, art parodies, and
Southeast Asian mural painting. In teach-
ing: Contemporary American Art,
Renaissance, Pre-Raphaelite, Southeast
Asian, Symbolism, Creative Writing, and
British Literature… thus, it seems only
appropriate that the term “Renaissance
Man” be applied to this long-time Clayton
State professor, as he prepares to open
another door.
