Letters to the Editor:
TV access for majors only
To the editor;
Last week a letter to the editor
was written about the use of video
equipment by students who are
not communications majors.
First, 1 would like to say there are
over 100 students in the com
munications major and at least 50
students use the only six video
cameras all semester. These
students are required to use this
equipment because their grades
depend on its use.
These cameras are used for
projects for practical experience.
The JMC students are trained to
use this equipment. Its not so
much that the LRC doesn’t trust
non-JMC students, it has priori
ty for the JMC students to use this
equipment for practical use; not
for personal use.

More ‘Bloom
County’ wanted
To the editor;
I like seeing Bloom County in
The Pendulum especially since it
is not in the Greensboro paper. It
is defmately the high point of
every issue. I hope to see more
Opus.

Visitation hours, not security, neec
Editor’s Note:
We apologize for the error in last
week’s issue. Drama professor
Todd Olson was offered a part
time job by the school. We are
sorry for any misunderstandings.
To the editor;
1 would like to bring up an issue
of interest that has great impor
tance and concern among Elon
College students: the visitation
hours. Although a lot of talk has
happened about this issue, only a
little has been done about the
problem.
Many students feel that visita
tion should be extended at least
two hours a day The Elon Col
lege board of trustees and the Stu-
BLOOM COUN
TSffliESWr
dent Government Association
would allow this change, but there
is one stipulation; Moffitt,
Carolina, Virginia and West
dorms would have to have people
(guards) stationed in strategic
places, where males would have
to check in and out in order to see
their female friends. The trustees
and the SGA said this would be
a great way to tighten security, but
other college students believe this
is not the right solution to the
TY
visitation problem.
College students feel that the
only thing needed is a change in
visitation hours, not a change in
security. It seems as though we
are paying the college just to be
locked up as criminals. College
students should have the right to
spend as much time as they want
with the opposite sex, without
feeling they are being babysat and
punished for their actions.
1 know a few colleges with
s change
24-hour visitation hours that have
had no problems with such a
system. I am not totally for
24-hour visitation, but I and many
other Elon students think that the
current policy for visitation
should be extended at least two
hours a day, without any
stipulations.
