Security: more than a dustpan Security. Security is walking across campus after a nighl class and not hnving 10 wonder if someone is wailing to :mock. Security is going to sleep in a donn and nor having 10 worry nbout wnking to discover a thief or assailant. Security is 1he college owning computers, televisions and other expensive educational aids and still owning them the nexl morning afler they have gone unattended and unused by teachers and students. Security is knowing someone is keeping an eye on people and things. making sure they remain secure. Al the beginning of the summer, NIC Security was 4isbanded and consolidated into the Grounds Dcponmcn1. The move brings to mind a picture of janitors onncd with brooms anll weed whackers chasing down po1cn1ial thieves and a.ssailants. The thought of consolidation can leaving a lingering feeling or - well, o lack of security. On second 1hough1, perhaps rhc move was nor so bad. Janitors arc. ofter all, in all the buildings regularly. Al least. so the new rolls or toilet paper and the emptied trash cans would lcstify. Cenainly such regular and constant patrolling would deter a1 least some potential 1hicves. Ey~ which don't miss a spot in the bathroom can surely spot anackers hidden in the bushes. In rcali1y. the functioning of (the fonncr) NIC Security was noc all thut comfoning. Stolen equipment was a problem, ns well as (alleged) anac~s and rapes. With only one person on duty 01 night, security personnel were hardly in abundllnce, ond they did not even Cllll)' guns.
Compared to norhing, a weed whacker seems a fonnidable weapon indeed. Of course, o cenoin uneasiness always remains in the back or the mind, knowing that 110 campus security dcpanmen1 exists. The concept of campus security personnel ''just a phone call away" is o powerful psychological comfon. Never mind that, while the officer on duty wns somewhere on campus, the rest of NIC lay unwatched. Not so with the consolida1ion. No slllff were lost in !he transition, apan from the early retirement or fonner Security Head Don Phillips. If anything, the number of people looking out for 1hc campus has increastd. This means !he campus community can rightly expect beuer sccuri1y. The consolidation means more than mnking 1wo departments in10 one. It is a challenge to !he the people working in !he grounds/campus patrol and safety maintainence deportment to provide a place where people can walk across campus a1 night unafraid, c:111 go 10 sleep and dream easy dreams. can go 10 cl11SS and ~•ill use equipment 1hey used they day before. The consolidn11on also requires a willingness among the campus commumty 10 work with 1he new nighttime guardians of campus security. Security. Hopefully now 111 NlC, security will be knowint? the only one mnking a clean getaway is the janitor at !he end or the shift.

When they finlllly call for help, though. mnndoiory arrest laws pul their safety and protection above lhcir confusion nnd love for the abuser.

And women don't hove 10 lie or cxnggera1c 1heir s1ories in order to be offered the full prolcction they require. Women should never have to lie in order to find protection from the violence. Mandatory arrest laws send women the messnge that, in 1he eyes of 1he law. their lives have meaning and value and lhnt their rights and their lives both deserve 10 be pro1cc1ed. These women desperately need 10 know 1his message because, after they have been brutnliud by the men 1hey love, they lose any belief that their lives t1tc wonh anything n1 all.

Students entering college after 12 ycar<i of u~ing taxpaid 1ex1books M' soon faced with reality of buying a college ICltbook.

Student~ enrolled in those cla.<,.,ses 1hi, semester hnd 10 buy new copies instead of being able 10 buy n used book 01 a reduc~-d price. The cost of college textbooks ond the question of whether they need 10 be R,•ised as often as they do is n growing concern among students. Textbooks in the NIC lx>0ks1ore this seme,1er range from $2 .35 for n SJX.>ech handbook 10 a S75.35 engmeenng book. Joyce Miuen, textbook buyer in I.he NIC bookstore. said sl1c understood; the student concerns about I.he cost of school book,. For every new book ordered by the instrucmr. she will try 10 locate used books of that edition whene,cr possible. "Commumca11on is imponnnt in controlling bookstore cos1s:· Minco said.

"I!'~ my philosophy th1111hc textbook shou ldn' t e~cced the cost of tuition," ~aid education instructor Peggy Fcdcrit'c1. "I try 10 use less textbooks and reserve readings nt the library so the students n.-ceive more current infomrntion and they arc l!Cllini; it directly from the source rather 1han holV o 1cx1book might interpret it." The speech depnr1mcn1 put 1opc1hcr its own speech handbook. They are nble 10 produce it and put the pnckngc on consignmem at the bookstore. saving the students the cost of another textbook. The life science dcpnnmcnt has put together o similar package including a binder for oil biology labs which averages about $ 10. saving the .\tudents from buying published lab nrnnuals of up to ~34.65. "Our lab manuals ore designed as 10 whnt we wam our students to lenrn and what we are capable of teaching," snid Bob Murray. chair of the life sciences depan ment. "We can self-design our lab~ 10 utilize unique thing\ in our uren nnd also costs the student le\s. Why should a student pay for 50 exercises when we use only 12?" Dale Triuen. math and s1a1is11cs instructor. said he feels that the new edition math books arc basically the some as pre"ious editions and that publishers just scmml>lc numl>cr, and problems so they can print a new ICXl.
"I bought a calculus lc;<lbook 25 year; apo for $8.95 and the equ1v:1lcn1 book today is $66.64: I don·11hinJ.. innntion hns been thnt high," ~aid Trill~n. "Mmh textbook~ don· , need 10 l>c rcvi~ed every few ycnl'\, they
can add :i supplement if necessnry. Everyone is out 10 make a dollar. For the good of the nation. tex tbooks should be more reasonable so everyone has o chance to go 10 college." Dcnbc Clark. public services librarian. states she secs some ins1ruc10~ moving awoy from textbooks and use more resource-base learning. She stated lhe library does not invi!Sl in many textbooks because of the out-dated problem and then it becomes a legal problem for texts in nursing and fields that need current information. Wilford Murray owns n book service in Spokane. He states most intro-type college lx,oks ore revised every 18-36 months. He stated the booJ.. problem is more in college level books rat her than upper di"ision and graduate level classes. Once books urc out-dated they hove li ulc or no "aluc. He said there arc programs 10 send ou1dn1ed tex ts 10 third world countries. but the freight often costs more than the book~ ore wonh and no one 10 pay it. "What makes a S20 book turn into n 560 book." ,aid W. Murray. "arc things like wide margins. tucJ..mg the back of the book wi th in formntion they know i~ not needed and hard covers. In my opinion. if a book 1) perishable in two years, why do we hnvc to buy a hurd CO\'er?" "Maybe the answer for the futurc is to go 10 n \OflCO\er bi nder le,'tbook lhnt mnkc\ it ea.,ier 10 carry, cosier 10 update with rcvi~cd pnj!C~ rather than bouk rcvi,iOn\, und saving student, and finnncial aid money·•
