  There are many unusual hotels around the world.In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice, open between April and December every year.In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room.And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel.

  Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake.But over time, all the water disappeared.Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.

  The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12, 000 square kilometers.During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt.There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.

  In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel.He cut big blocks(块)of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it.Everything in the hotel is made out of salt:the walls, the roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel's bar.

  The sun heats the walls and roof during the day.At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm.The hotel has 12 rooms.A single room costs$40 a night, and a double room costs$60.

  Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen.With a checklist of criteria(衡量标准,尺度)in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools.They looked for a university that offered the teenager's intended major(主修科目), one located near a large city, and a campus(大学校园)where their daughter would be safe.

  “The safety issue(问题)is a big one, ” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn't alone in his worries.On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns(担心), and the same question was always asked: What about crime?

  But getting accurate information isn't easy.Colleges must report crime statistics(统计数字)by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity(名声), leaving the honest ones looking dangerous.“The truth may not always be serious, ” warns S.Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation's leading campus safety watchdog(监视)group.

  To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.
