Sept. 1, 1980 The Pendulum Page 3 Jack Murphy supervises new campus security Security will be main tained by the people who know Elon College best— students— and will be under the direction and supervision of Jack Murphy, director of campus safety and security. The Burns Security System has provided services for Elon College for several years. “They did a good job,” says Murphy, “but they were a fire-watch sys tem and students often mis interpreted their roles.” To date Murphy has seven security guards. They will be responsible for patroling the campus 24 hours a day including holidays and week ends. They will also operate on a rotating shift basis. Each guard will be able to work 15-20 hours a week. Two students will be on watch continuously, using a Jeep and radios while patrol ing. Guards will be provided uniforms so that they will be easily identifiable. “The guards,” according to Murphy, “will not carry master keys or have the power of arrest, but they will work closely with the Elon College Public Safety Department and will be able to issue reports and write people up for violations.” One new change the new security system plans to ini tiate is that of a campus- wide Community Watch Program, an expansion of the trial program at Harper Center last spring. “No other campus in this state has adopted a similar sys tem,” added Murphy. The Town of Elon started Com munity Watch as part of citizen crime prevention last year; Arcadia Drive resi dents were the first to com plete requirements and get identification signs. The basic tenet of Com munity Watch is that each citizen bears a responsiblity for creating a safe enviro- ment for himself and his neighbors. “This comple ments our program very well,” says Murphy. “Since our entire staff will be students, the combined ef fort of guards and students will increase the chances of Student Center LoU»y © ArtCarveJ College Rinjp preventing crime from oc curring on campus.” As a result of these programs, students should become aware of the dangers of travelling alone on campus late at night or leaving their rooms unlocked. Last year when Elon was plagued with the “night stalker,” 11 out of 11 times the doors to the women’s rooms were left unlocked.” The change-over to a stu dent security guard system at Elon College is following the example of Albion College in Michigan and Guilford College in Greensboro. Both of these colleges have a student-watch system that is working well for the stu dents and the schools, Mur phy says. Any students who are interested in becoming guards should contact Jack Murphy in Student Affairs, Alamance Building, for fur ther information.
