John Carroll University East Asian Stud- ies program invited local high school students to join them for the annual East Asian Festi- val. The event served an opportunity for those in attendance to learn more about the newly created East Asian studies major as well as Japanese, Chinese and Korean culture. The celebration took place on Monday, Oct. 4 in the Dolan Atrium. Pamela Mason, director of East Asian Studies, along with Roger Purdy, coordina- tor of East Asian studies, helped to put on an event for the community. “It [East Asian Studies] increases aware- ness on campus,” said Purdy.

He’s creepin’ in your window, Dormitory security at risk he’s snatchin’ your computers up, During the past two weeks, there have been two reports of intrusions in Pacelli Hall reported to Campus Safety Services.

Students should be the first to take responsibility for their safety by locking their doors every night.

Although no physical harm has been done to any students, it is clear that it is a real threat. If the University continues to require all non-commuter freshman and sophomore students to live in residence halls, safety should be the number one priority. As it stands, anybody can gain access to any dormitory if they wait long enough for a resident to let them into the building. Unlike most universi- ties, John Carroll does not require visitors to check in at a front desk. Similarly they do not use security cameras anywhere in the build- ings. The CSS investigation has concluded that the intruder is someone who lives in Pacelli, but they cannot identify who it is. The presence of security cameras would greatly assist in the investigation and identifica- tion of this person. It could also stop these incidents from occurring in the first place. “ The University must take action and institute these security measures before one of these intrusions becomes dangerous to the students. Although these incidents have only happened in one specific resi- Cartoon by David Hickey dence hall, all students living in on-campus housing should recognize the risks that exist and take the necessary measures to avoid any possible threats.
