A Plea for Community Cooperation

Dear Students, As the events from the September 11 tragedy touch our communities, including our Wake Forest community, we must be mindful of the need for additional caution while at the same time going about the regular business of our daily lives. It is a new compromise which calls for reshaping our responses to everyday concerns. Each of us is searching for ways of processing the new circumstances of our common life and adjusting to them. As a campus community there are some significant ways in which we can help each other and the university community during this time. First, the large incidence of fire alarms can be reduced with just a measure of attention and care. Last year we experienced 308 fire alarms. Almost 80% of these alarms were the result of fire and smoke from unattended cooking in microwave and conventional ovens. About twenty percent resulted from intentionally pulled fire alams when there was no fire. Such acts, whether negligent or intentional, consume the valuable time and resources of fire and police personnel. Particularly at this time, these resources should be available to our community to address other serious risks. Moreover, such nuisances disrupt our lives at a time when nerves are already on edge. Please make special efforts to avoid cooling problems. Pulling a fire alarm without cause is a serious offense and will result in serious consequences. The fire department deserves your help. Last week a bomb-like device found in the Virginia Tech library was discovered to be a well-constructed hoax. This irresponsible interruption adversely impacted the educational and personal lives of Virginia Tech students as well as the rest of the university community. It required the combined resources of hundreds of people from law enforcement, specialized technical personnel, university physical plant and many university officials. Disruption of the university by false reports, hoaxes or threats is a serious matter. Again, the response could mean that our campus life would be disrupted, people displaced for a time and access to campus areas or the entire campus restricted. We would ask for your patience, cooperation and understanding during such a time, if such an incident occurred. Of course, we will use all appropriate resources to keep you appraised of the situation. As you know, reports of anthrax, both real and imagined, have also consumed the efforts of thousands of people throughout the country. First, rest assured that the University’s crisis management team, together with local authorities, has developed measures to respond to such incidents. The nature of the times suggests a greater vigilance about access to campus residences and rooms. Please do not override our established security practices. Lock your doors and don’t forget your key card. As a hospitable community we often allow people into our residence halls that are visitors or guests to campus. Although this practice is common, we ask that you not allow access to a person whom you do not know or recognize as a member of our community. For convenience sake many students open doors to allow deliveries of food and packages to student rooms. You should know that regular package delivery service personnel, like Federal Express, are pre-approved and allowed access cards. Those service personnel that are not allowed such access should call the student and wait at the entrance for them. If you have ordered food or other items from an off-campus vendor, please meet them at the entrance to your building, even if it is inconvenient. It assures the sercurity of our residence halls is maintained. These difficult times should also awaken our conscience and turn our eyes to the events shaping national and world affairs. Through the efforts of student leaders the University has dedicated this year to a study of these events. There are many programs planned for the “Year of Unity and Hope: Pro Humanitate at Work.” Please take the time to participate and learn from these programs. This is a moment in history which will redefine who we are as a people and our relationships with the other peoples of the world. Thank you for your attention to these concerns. In these small ways we can each strengthen our community for the challenges that may lie ahead. Sincerely, Ken Zick, Vice President, Student Life A6 Thursday, October 18, 2001 Old Gold and Black Editorials O p i n i o n This column represents the views of the Old Gold and Black Editorial Board.

To Whom It May Concern: On behalf of the student body, I would like to thank the following individuals and organizations for play- ing an integral role in making Oct. 12-13’s Midnight Madness a success. Those of you that will be mentioned were essential in the planning, development and implementation of the evening’s festivities, and deserve recognition for your time and effort. Brainstorming for Midnight Madness started nearly a month before the doors to Reynolds Gymnasium opened at 10 p.m., and continued for sev- eral hours after the band blared the fight song for the last time. So for all who contributed, thank you. First, thanks are due to Head Coach Skip Prosser, his staff and his players, for being receptive to the idea, for assisting in planning, and for deflecting some of the spotlight towards on the student body. Specifically, Pat Kelsey, director of basketball operations, is worthy of our gratitude. If there was a mastermind being this operation, it was Kelsey, who made arrangements for the deejay and the video, comprised guest lists and helped with clean up.
