Guns: Good or Bad?
Since it was suggested at
University Park months ago, the
idea of arming Security has
gradually filtered down to the
Commonwealth campuses, low
would some of the students on
this campus feel if our Secur
ity was armed?
"I have no objections," said
Joe Melnick, president of SGA.
"The improvements that I really
want to see happen ares
1* proper screening for all
personnel
2. proper training for all
Security personnel
3. establishment of proper
radio communication with
the'State Police and the
other area police forces
4. arrest power, which
would enable this campus
to handle its own crimi
nal cases without bring
ing in outside agencies•"
SGA's Vice-President, Jim
Durso, stated! "Arming the
Security force may seem, to
those involved, the best way
to enact more stringent per-
sonnel standards and to facil
itate communication with out*
side police agencies. Arming
Security is a means to these
ends. Perhaps not the best
means but an honest attempt to
upgrade the quality of the Se
curity forcd at the Hazleton
Campus."
"Definitely not," said Susan
Prey, secretary of EHC. "I
have no faith in the so called
•proper training 1 that is
assured if Security gets guns.
As of last year Security didn't
even know how to operate a
fire extinguisher, so how can
you trust them with a gun?"
SGA Representative Diane
Zell stated that she was "com
pletely against the idea. I
don't think there's any need
for weapons and T think arming
Security would be disasterous
for this campus."
Lastly, SGA Freshmen Repre
sentative Kathy Johnson added
her thoughts on the issue!
"When bringing up such issues,
nobody remembers Kent State—
and they should."
SMOKER'S GOUGH

Buy a Button
"Support Tour Library"—so
reads a small blue and white
button, a fund raiser whose in
itiators hope will bring in
$5OO for their cause.
The project in need of fi
nancial aid is the matting and
framing of approximately 50
art prints ordered from museums
on the east coast by the li
brary. Most of the prints will
permanently be on exhibition
in the library, others may be
placed in the Classroom Build
ing.
The cost of framing and
matting a single print is $25-
$4O. The best prints will be
professionally framed, the
others will be done by Mrs,
Brenda Binns, Francie Grenca
vich, and Dr. Mike Santulli.
Currently, the buttons are
on sale in the library and from
SUB members. They will be on
sale (donation basis) until
the supply runs out.

Letter
to the
Editor
In looking over the names
of the members of the women's
volleyball team, I noticed
that three names were left out
of the article which appeared
in the November 10 issue of
the Collegian. The players
names are: Trish Lawlor,
Debbie Kreger, and Roxanne
Lawrence. I would appreciate
your efforts to correct this
error. Thank you.
