By Babita Persaud Staff Writer Following a wave of assaults on cam pus and in the community, University officials have implemented a 24-hour lockup in campus residence halls. But UNC is not the only campus faced with safety problems. Other col leges and universities in North Carolina have similar problems with crime and have implemented their own solutions. Officials at Duke University began 24-hour lockup in dormitories about two to three years ago, said Pat Lloyd, manager for residence hall operations at Duke. Students enter their residence halls using the Duke Card, an all-purpose magnetically activated card used for food, identification and entrance into school events. Duke students also use a tele-key system, which allows residents to un lock the front door of a residence hall by pressing a specific key on their phone. "This system is good for things like the pizza deliver," Lloyd said. Red emergency phones are located near all Duke residence halls' entrances. In an emergency, students can knock Museum welcomes art lovers By Monica Brown Staff Writer Just what is that red brick building on South Columbia Street? The one you pass on your way to Franklin Street with the manicured shrubbery outside its double doors? It' s the Ackland Art Museum, a multi gallery complex with more than 1 3,000 works in its collections. The museum was established by its namesake, William Hays Ackland, who did not contribute any works to the museum's collection. In 1958, the mu seum opened its doors displaying works purchased with museum funds and ones donated by various people. More than 8,000 pieces in the Ackland collection are works on paper, includ ing prints, photographs and drawings, but all works on permanent display are either paintings or sculptures. Works on temporary display consist of traveling displays, prints that wouldn't normally be shown all year and exhibits that the museum cannot afford to keep on permanent display. Several upcoming events and pro grams are scheduled on the museum's calender. A Jasper Johns exhibit, titled "Prints and Multiples," will open Sun day and run through Nov. 15. The dis play will feature etchings, lithographs and screen prints by the American mod em artist. Ruth Fine, the curator of modem prints and drawings at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., will supplement the exhibition by present ing a lecture titled "Echoes and Shad ows: The Prints of Jasper Johns," at 2 p.m. Sunday in the Hanes Art Center. Another exhibit, titled "Material Dreams: Studio Faculty Biennial" will be on display Oct. 24 through Nov. 15 SAFE Escort By Holly Stepp Staff Writer Starting Sept. 28, University students will have an alternative option to walk ing alone at night. Students may call of stop by SAFE Escort, based in the lobby of Davis Library, as an alternative to walking alone on campus at night. The program also offers golf carts for students to drive from place to place. SAFE Escort Director Jeremy Lehrer said the program, run by student volun teers, had not begun operating yet be cause of funding problems. At the end of the 1991-92 school year, SAFE Escort had no treasurer to write checks or handle bills for the program, he said. "The end of the year left SAFE Escort without a treasurer, Lehrer said.

The phones are monitored by Duke Public Safety, an on-campus safety unit which dispatches an officer to the scene. Like Duke, residence halls at UNC Charlotte are locked at night and stu dents use a card-access system, said Jackie Simpson, UNC-C director of housing and resident life. Simpson said UNC-C residence halls also had door alarms that sounded within seconds after the door was opened, which discouraged people from prop ping doors open. The doors also are monitored on a panel at individual residence hall desks. The computer system allows university officials to keep a record of who has entered the building. Simpson said the UNC-C system was implemented about three years ago in response to a university survey about the number of non-students visiting the campus. Simpson said that while many stu dents did not like the new system when it was first installed, most students had adapted to the tightened security. "We were not trying to make a prison," she said. "We just want people who don't belong in the halls not to be there."Students at Wake Forest Univer sity also use electronic key cards.

Lee McFaddin, Ackland public rela tions director, said that every year the museum displays two traveling exhib its, a display consisting of the "better pieces" of the museum's permanent collection and the Masters of Fine Arts Show, which allows University gradu ate students to display their work in a "real" museum setting. to begin operation Sept. 28 checks on our applicants were not avail able to us. Members of SAFE Escort, which is funded by student fees, had to find other means of paying for applicant back ground checks without a treasurer. All SAFE Escort treasurers must be tested by the office of the student body trea surer. Applicants for escort positions must have their backgrounds checked through the Orange County Clerk of Court, their home county, the Univer sity and their previous school to ensure that they are qualified to serve as es corts. The background checks cost be tween $10 and $12. Lehrer said that this summer, the Student Activities Funds Office was able to write checks for SAFE Escort, but SAFO could not fund background checks.

Wake residence halls are equipped with alarms that sound when a door is opened. Carson said she thought that the system worked well but that it wasn't perfect. "Sometimes doors are dam aged to stop the alarms from working," she said. Carole Chenault, assistant director for judicial affairs at N.C. State, said school officials spent a lot of time and effort informing students about crime prevention. r DTHErin Randall Museum are either paintings or sculptures Although Ackland has planned sev eral future programs, including a children's story hour on selected Satur days and a series of Sunday discussions by artists featured in the faculty bien nial, the museum has suffered from state-mandated cutbacks. "(The museum's) hours were reduced when there was a state hiring freeze," See ACKLAND, page 7 (the student body treasurer) would be able to write checks forus," Lehrer said. "However, due to miscommunication, SAFE was not able to gain funds for the background checks." SAFE Escort officials recently ap pointed Kryn Krautheim, a junior from Beaufort, as treasurer and have been able to start reorganizing, Lehrer said. Krautheim's background test has not been approved yet. Once an official treasurer is approved, SAFE Escort will begin by running background checks on 30 escort applicants from last semes ter, he said. "We will need at least 40 people to run our regular shifts 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. For now, we hope to run a skeleton shift from 9 p.m. to midnight using four escorts on golf carts," Lehrer said.

"Informing students raises their awareness, and we inform them about simple practices that they can incorpo rate in their daily routines for safety of property and themselves." But at campuses located in rural ar eas, such as Western Carolina Univer sity in Cullowhee, security is not as tight. Lisa Sons, WCU assistant director of resident life, said that although security was an issue at WCU, the university did not get a lot of outside traffic. Sons said resident assistants made rounds each Hunt tree need for better early education By Jason Richardson Assistant State and National Editor Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jim Hunt called for an improvement in North Carolina's early education pro grams at a day-care forum Thursday. The former governor addressed a friendly crowd of about 100 N.C. day care professionals at the William and Ida Friday Center. The event was orga nized by the N.C. Day Care Associa tion. Lt. Governor Jim Gardner, the Re publican candidate for governor, was unable to attend due to scheduling con flicts. ....... Hunt started off the prepared speech portion of the forum with a joke. "I just left an event in Greenville where the lieutenant governor and I were both present," Hunt said. "Had I known he needed a ride, I would have given him one." Hunt then addressed his plans for improving the day-care system in North Carolina. The Hunt campaign has four basic goals: world-class schools, a high-skill economy, communities safe from crime and addressing problems with the economy, Hunt said. Improving day-care services and pro grams would be beneficial in all four areas, Hunt said. "Parents should be able to get good, affordable day care and early childhood education for their children," Hunt said. "There are excellent child-care pro grams across the state, ... so we know we can do it." Hunt then proposed three changes for the day-care system. There must be a long-range plan for addressing the need for early childhood education, an improvement in the train ing and pay of day-care teachers, and an improvement in child-staff ratios, Hunt said. Woman shot Staff Report A 22-year-old Orange County woman was shot Thursday, according to Maj. Donald Truelove of the Or ange County Sheriff s Department. The woman was shot by an ac quaintance at 12:09 a.m. in front of 712 Shannon Drive, Truelove said. The woman was standing in the road at the time of the shooting. True love said. "She apparently had relatives in the area," he said.

"We don-'t have much crime," Sons said, "But we have a system that works for us." At Guilford College, which is lo- cated outside of Greensboro, security i i not as tight as at other schools, said George Segebade, director of residenj life services. Men's residence halls do not hav any restrictions, but female dormitorif s have night lockup, Segebade said. BeJ cause Guilford is located in a suburb of Greensboro, it does not have as much of a problem with crime, he said. Hunt said that improving early education would be "put in the bud get first." Hunt then said he would ask the General Assembly ' to approve the "baby bill," a $15 million bill to re duce the state child-staff ratio. im Hunt North Carolina also should increase eligibility for state assistance in paying for day care and allow more tax credits to parents of children w day care, Hunt said. "The question is not how much ft costs, but how much it saves," he said. "We are spending too much money oh too many people too late in their lives and not enough early in life. "Investment in our children is the best investment in our future." When asked how he would get the General Assembly to approve his early education initiatives. Hunt said he thought his plans would be approved because they were morally right and economically sound. "We can't have a world-class work force unless our children get the right start in life," Hunt said. "I want a work force that is much more creative, inno vative and can solve problems. ; "If you miss the first five years, you can't fix (the problems)," Hunt said. ; The forum was sponsored by the N.C.
