Campus Safety and Security is also in the process of hiring one new security guard to work specifi cally in Danieley Center from 7 p.m. until 3 a.m. every night. The guard will be there to provide a faster response to the needs of students living in Danieley. He will also be responsible for driving a new seven-passenger Cushman vehicle throughout Danieley dur ing the hours he is on duty. The tram will be available to transport students from Danieley to the parking lot behind the McMichael Science building. “For students who walk the path at night, this is a new means of transportation,” Allen Poe, head of campus security, said. “Getting a new security person and the tram is something that has been in the works for awhile. We have also listened to what students have said about the tram and security in Danieley.” ' see DANIELEY, page 6 A Weekend of Madness Above: Men’s basketball team member Larry McSwain goes in for a jam during the Slam Dunk competition at Friday Night Madness Oct. 22.

Alan Medeiros The Pendulum Due to the recent press cover age of meningococcal meningitis cases among college students, Elon College, through the R. N. Ellington Health Center, is working to pro vide the vaccination for this disease to its students. The college is working with a company to provide the vaccina tion through a campus-wide vacci nation clinic in early February to those students who elect to receive the vaccine. , . According to Kitty Parrish, Director of the R. N. Ellington Health Center, students may order the vaccine at any time through the Health Center. The cost is $75, and there is a waiting period of a week to ten days. While the vaccination that will be administered in February will also be $75, there will be no waiting period, as there will be sup plies of the vaccine on campus. “We are encouraging students to talk with their own doctor before making a decision [as to whether or not to receive the vaccine],” said Parrish. Meningococcal meningitis is an infection of the fluid of the spinal cord and the fluid that surrounds the brain. The most common signs of meningitis include high fever, head ache and a stiff neck. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, discomfort look ing into bright lights, confusion and sleepiness. . , ?ee meningitis, page 6
