Last semester there were two stu-
dents that were charged with
rape.” The two students charged
with rape were under the influence
of alcohol when the crime was
committed on dorm. So far this
semester there hasn’t been any
reported sexual mishaps on cam-
pus related to alcohol. This se-
mester, if caught underage drink-
ing students may find themselves
with a $300 fine and a citation or
other sanction.
After talking to some of the
female students about their safety
at night, most of them felt safe
overall, but did had concerns
about walking alone at night. “I
feel about 90% safe on campus
but the other 10% is because
someone might snatch me up at
night when walking home alone,”
order to ensure the safety of the
students the campus police make
their rounds around campus at
least twice for every four hours.
Officer Wagner informed that “we
patrol parking lots, class rooms,
and dorms...we’re ‘around.’”
Even though the police - are
“around,” some Mont Alto stu-
dents still came up with sugges-
tions to “up” the security. Fresh-
man Greg Nattson suggested that
“there should be ID checks on
campus.” He continued, “I don’t
like the fact that there are not any
security gates because anyone
could just walk onto campus.”
The*Mont Alto Campus has
approximately 500 students that
live on campus and there are five
police officers which make up 100
to one student to officer ratio.
From these statistics the police
force feel that they have very good
security and enough man power.
