Techically talking to VP Schultz who was in charge of the campus police is the "contacting the police", but...

It appears, from this article, that Paterno contact University VP Gary Schultz, who is head of campus police. A bigger issue, in my opinion, is why in hell the campus police are controlled by the university, instead of by the local city or county municipality. That alone is idiocy, although I know it is a common practice.
