I think it’s a good idea for them to have them available as an op tion. Maybe to carry them in the car, but not with them, on their person. That might be too intimidating.” Paul Ehret, EDET “I don’t think they should carry them. The students seem non-violent. The police carrying guns might influence people to do things they might not otherwise do.” David Vetterlein, Humanities “No way. There’s no need, and the local police are able and willing to cover the campus.” Leanne Drozdoff, Computer Application “No. It would get out of hand, i don’t see any need for guns. I’m not a gun freak, myself.” Diana Schmick, Accounting “No. Some of the situa tions don’t dictate the need for guns. It just makes it easier to pull the gun even when it’s not necessary.” Jim Hagood, MDET “No. It’s not necessary. There’s no crime on this campus. The campus is too small to need them.” Dave Quidort, Management “Yes, to protect themselves. I’m not sug gesting guns, but whatever is necessary - maybe stricter rules.” Vernon Mcßae, Urban and Regional Planning “No. i just don’t think that they should have them. The local police can handle it.” Fran Yeomans, Accounting Page 11 “Yes. The police have the same training, so they should carry guns,too. It’s possible they might come upon the same situations as regular police.” Laurie Killeen, Elementary Education “No. I’m a firm believer in no handguns at all. Perhaps something else, like nightsticks. There’s not enough crime. I’d like to hear what a policeman has to say and see if there’s a need.” Bob Klein, EDET
