This mea sure was not made to limit a student’s freedom but to protect residents of the halls from the theft, solicitation, and vandalism that occurred last semester. “During the day (last semes ter), students could come and go as they pleased (through unlocked doors), but so could people who did not belong in the residence halls. If hall damage could not be attributed to anyone, then resi dents had to pay,” commented Deborah Pittman. Pam Derrick, dean of Student Life, commented that, “when we (Pittman and Derrick) talked to students at several roundtable meetings, the students expressed concern about the possibility of anyone being able to walk into the dorms. Most vandalism and behavior problems are attributed to outsiders, not students. We felt immediate action was necessary to protect residents.” Derrick added that since the initiation of this new security, vandalism and other problems caused by outsiders “has not been a problem.” This new concept in security will be more convenient next year when the college enacts “Phase II” of the security plan. Derrick says this will allow lobby doors to remain open, while doors leading to doors to the halls will have to be unlocked. An intercom system will be installed in the lobbies so visitors can inforh) their hOst of their ar- The Bishops have four games left before they start the DIAC tournament, including a game at Shenandoah on Feb. 5, and at Greensboro on Feb. 9.

This will eliminate the constant knocking visitors, in cluding conunuters, must do in order to be admitted if they have not made arrangements with their host “The overall complaints I hear are withdrawn when students learn more about the plan. Incon venience is a good trade for safety,” says Derrick. One commuter resolves, “When I don’t make arrange- .ments, I find myself banging on a door for five minutes, but I don’t mind. I know that keeping vandals, out and securing students’ selves and property is well worth the inconvenience.” Activities on campus set up to celebrate Black History Month The Black History Month Committee has lined up some in teresting events for the Wesleyan community to celebrate during the month of February.
