mSmm ^aiupub focusofop By Kevin Johnson Gamacock Staff Witter An open meeting to discuss ideas for the improvement of campus security will be held Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in Room 203 of the Russell House. Sen. Matt Ward and Sen. Nancy Scheffler, members of the Student Senate Residential Life Services Committee, initiated the program to find out where the campus security problems are *md how much the students reall> care about campus security. "An effort has to be made to look into the security problem here on campus,'.' Ward said. "We are just going to pass the ball along to students now by setting up this meeting. We'd like to get as much student input as we can on this issue." WARD AND SCHEFFLER drew up six major areas to be covered at the meeting along with other points for student input. These include: 1. Properly lit areas and pathways of great student movement. 2. The physical qualifications of the police officers. 3. A proposed work-study plan for students to carry walkie-talkies and assist officer patrols. 4. A checkup on security guards in residence halls and the maintenance of the rules posted for each hall.

"The students were not paid for patrolling, and therefore there was not much incentive for them to do a good job," Ward said. "I'm talking about incorporating a walkietalkie patrol plan into the workstudy program." Some of the main problems iacing me campus police are theft of individual and state property along with phony fire alarms, according to Marvin Harrelson, Chief of Campus Security. PROBABLY THE MOST overlooked problem concerning campus security, according to Scheffler, is the students' inability to give critical information to police in crisis situations.
