I hit him, knocked him back a little and yelled ‘no!’ He turned around and closed the room door.” Kelly says that the man “kept saying ‘It’s just me and you baby, just me and you.’” She says, “He kept trying to get his hands on me, and I told him to open the door. I told him that I could get louder. He opened the door and I yelled ‘get out!’ He said, ‘It’s cool, it’s cool.’ I shut the door and locked it.” For a while, Kelly just stood shaking. Finally, she went to a suitemate’s room to talk. The friend helped her check the room, and Kelly tried to go back to sleep. Kelly says, “i didn’t think to call security.” It was only atter she heard Bob Har wood searching the suite that She dialed the number. It was ten minutes till 4 a.m. Within tive minutes, security officer Jerry Lewis was on the scene. Swindell ed to the officer.

Chief of Security Theiron Young called Judy Diogo and talked with Kelly Sim mons and Beth Swindell. From their descriptions, Laurinburg Crime Scene In vestigator Bill Siler con structed a composite picture of the man. The man is described as being very tall (over 6’), with slender build, and hair maybe a bit longer than the picture. The man is black, Judy says she felt the man was wearing a silk material jacket, weiist length.” She says the man has “broad shoulders, and huge legs- extremely long legs.” Campus Security has not seen the man on campus since that date. Theiron Young said last week, “I wish we could make students aware that when they see people in the dorms to call us.” Late last Saturday, Securi ty did receive three reports of men on campus. Although none of these was the same man, “I’m glaa siuuciu» arc doing this. That’s what we need-more security con sciousness.” And Judy and Kelly cer tainly agree. They are not certain what the man would have done to them had4ielp not arrived. Kelly thinks maybe the man “was just drunk and thought I was so meone else.” And Judy, who says that “you don’t feel secure” echoes Kelly. “You’re in timidated’ she says, “and I think it would be good for every suite to lock their doors at 12 (midnight) or 1 a.m.” But regardless of his inten tions, neither student feels quite safe in the dorm anymore. Kelly’s fear led her to move to Concord dorm, where doors are locked at midnight. She says, “If the school can’t afford to have more people on duty, we should have the gates (to fiat dorms) locked, and have the lounges open.” IL Extravaganza ’82 - Students had the option to par ticipate in such competitive events as the keg toss and sack races, or of simply relaxing on Granville Beach.
