Safety a right for students in rez

There once was a time when getting into residence without a swipe card was harder than getting blood from a stone. It seems Uke only yesterday that the only way anyone who did not live in residence could get in was to be signed in by students living there, or to play Spiderman and scale the walls.

Now it appears easier to waltz into the building virtually unnoticed. Though residence claims to be a secure place that about 700 stu-

dents call home nine months out of the year, it is baffling that Et Cetera reporter, Josh Hargreaves was able to slip through the cracks more than once.

It is also disturbing to know that although students pay thousands of dollars each year to live in rez, their safety isn't being guaranteed. Hargreaves entered the building, getting past front desk worker, Shannon Brovm, without question. Brown claimed to have seen Hargreaves speaking with Residence Life Co-ordinator, Mike Kopinak, and believed the reporter to be of no threat to the students in rez.

This sends the message that all it appears people have to do to get

into rez is chat it up vsith an RA and entry is guaranteed, no questions asked.

In all seriousness, the fact remains that several students residents

see strangers wandering their halls often. This is definitely a problem that needs immediate attention.

A closer look needs to be taken to ensure all students are being pro- tected.

It is still amazing that in a time when people are afraid to walk down

the street alone and double lock their doors, Humber's residence still relies on dated security methods like having one person screening visitors. Letters to the editor

With various influences and many years of musical training Popmachine is well on their way to something great.

The Humber-based band is using their tal- ents to play around Toronto and get exposure wherever they can. They are even trying to arrange a night at Caps showcasing H umber bands. Although the band has only been together for eight months, they have already recorded a self-titled EP containing five songs and have a show booked at the El Mocambo on, Feb. 18. Bassist Dan Coniglio said that they are honored to be playing at the El Mocambo,

especially on a Friday night. He said that it is hard for bands to get a show at the El Mocambo, where such acts as the Rolling Stones and The Tragically Hip have graced the stage. "
