Criminal Justice
Class Tours
Fayetteville Police
Department
by Mary Owings
To get a first hand look at a local law
enforcement agency, Dr. William Reed’s
Introduction to Law Enforcement class
went to the Fayetteville Police Depart
ment March 25th and 27th. The complex,
next to the new courthouse, contains all
operations of the city’s police services.
The students were introduced to offi
cers and civilian personnel who man the
various units that comprise the depart
ment. From Chief Ronald E. Hansen’s
office to the housing patrol, identification,
evidence, community, and youth services,
the students were made aware of the many
responsibiUties our local force has to per
form.
Of particular interest were a magis
trate with an alleged offender, a rundown
of the evidence room, and a demonstration
of the robot Officer Blue. The class was
given booklets listing the phone numbers
and describing the programs instituted for
more effective poUce protection and com
munity service. They were also issued an
invitation to join the department’s Ride-
Along Program, which allows a citizen to
accompany an officer on patrol.
Criminal Justice
Students Hit the
Road
by Viola Stacey
On Tuesday, March 24, Criminal Jus
tice students explored another exciting
aspect of the Criminal Justice system.
Faculty members Cheryl Filler and W. T.
Moorefield, along with 22 Criminal Jus
tice majors, visited the North Carolina
Criminal Justice Academy (NCCJA) in
Salemburg. This thirty-minute drive from
May, 1992
Fayetteville State Universitytumed out to
be an unforgettable all-day event for ev
eryone.
All students were able to go through
the Firearms Simulator (FATS), which
proved to be the most exciting event of the
day. In the FATS, students and faculty
were put in a “shoot or don’t shoot” situ
ation. Everyone had the chance to shoot at
least once.
The students visited the Criminal Jus
tice Learning Resource Center library that
specializes in Criminal Justice material.
All students fixjm FSU are able to check
out the material at this library. Those
Criminal Justice students who are unable
to find research material are encouraged to
take a thirty-minute drive to Salemburg to
visit the Criminal Justice Learning Re
source Center.
The students also received a tour of
the Academy’s dormitories, driving track,
firing range, and cafeteria. The cafeteria
served a delicious, all-you-can-eat smor
gasbord. The trip was free, except for the
$2.83 for lunch.

Students Protest
Dorm Assignments
Chancellor Says Protest
“Wasn’t Necessary”
by Matthew Royal
On Wednesday, April 22, an esti
mated 75 students protested in front of the
FSU Administration Complex regarding
proposed changes in dormitory assign
ments for the Fall ’92 semester.
Currently, the five women’s dorms on
campus— New Residence, Hood, Harris,
Smith, Joyner, and Williams — contain a
mix of freshmen and upperclassmen. Ac
cording to the proposed assignment plan,
“New Res” would be reserved exclusively
for freshmen next semester.
New Res is the only air-conditioned
dorm on campus, and it is the only women's
dorm where students live in suites, with
semi-private bathrooms and kitchen fa
cilities in every suite.
While some of the largest universities
give freshmen priority, most universities
mix freshmen with upperclassmen when
assigning dormitories.
The protestors argued that the current
system allows for a smoother transition for
freshmen to dormitory life, and that they
were not consulted about the proposed
change.
According to Chancellor Hackley, a
small committee of students made the
proposal to bar most upperclassmen from
New Res. “This debate wasn't necessary,”
he said. “We need this directed to other
issues.”
Monica Ray, president of New Res
and business manager-elect of the SGA,
says that those living in New Res were not
informed of the committee’s existence.
Others in New Res see freshmen fac
ing problems associated with New Resi
dence’s proximity to Vance Hall, which
houses most of FSU’s male student ath
letes. New Residence is also the women’s
dorm most easily accessible to outsiders
via Langdon Street.
