CONFERENCE TIME.Conferences are
held for many reasons. They are used for
restructuring, planning and exchanging ideas
through meetings and workshops. Conferences
also allow its members an opportunity to
fraternize and socialize with other members who
are not seen on a regular basis. The bottom line
is that conferences can be both beneficial and
fun, which brings us to the Zeta’s gathering.

Crime Prevention Awareness
By Kaquel Stewart
Special to the Post
"Practical Application of
Crime Prevention on the
College Campus" was the
theme for the Crime Preven
tion Workshop held recently at
Bennett College.
Larry Barnes. Community
Watch-Coordinator, North
Carolina-Division of Crime
Control and Public Safety,
stressed neighbors should look
out for one another. If one
family leaves home for a
length of time, neighboring
families should be alerted to
watch the house.
"A lady saw a man remov
ing a television from her
neighbor’s house,” Barnes
said. "She went to investi
gate and he informed her that
he was the television repair
man. She exclaimed. ’This is
my lucky day. Mine needs
fixing too.’ The televisions
were never recovered."
Community watch is appli
cable to the college campus.
Each person in a section of the
dormitory should know the
others' schedule When one
student leaves, the others
should watch his or her room.
Students, like the general pub
lic. should be aware that a
campus-community watch
exists.
Ted Marvin, Director of
Security Services, UNC
Chapel Hill, discussed “Prob
lem Identification as Related
to Development of Crime Pre
vention.” He noted that "just
a little time and effort” can
prevent crime and a lot of
pain. If students lock their car
and room doors, keep their
pocketbooks and wallets with
them at all times, and become
more aware of strangers
around the premises, petty
theft can be reduced.
Sergeant Willie H. Horton
and Sergeant Doug Shores of,
UNC-Greensboro explained
organizing and implementing
programs to engrave student
equipment. A list of students’
merchandise, they suggested,
should be kept by the security
office and the student. This
will be helpful in identifying
and recovering stolen mer
chandise. Other suggestions
included taking pictures of
one s jewelry and engraving
one s license number or social
security number on televi
sions, radios, and stereos.
Dean Harold Bragg of
Bennett stressed cohesive and
cooperative attitudes by the
whole college family. He said,
“A mature, responsible atti
tude among the faculty, staff,
and students is a helpful agent
in crime prevention."
Zack Browning, Supennten
dent of Building and Grounds
at Bennett commented. "I’m
glad a lot of people turned out
for the occasion. The effort •
was worthwhile. Maybe to
gether we can stop crime.”
Crime prevention is a very "
serious job and people work
ing together can make it :
easier
