All of a sudden, someone put locks on Knox. Eachnight, or so we understand, a student watch patrols darkened corners of Davidson, de- terring would-be evildoers.

Each ofthese situations suggests that Davidsonhas finally reacheda stateof strongsecurity that studentshave seenaneed for sincelastyear's Harding House incident. Taken together, however, they demonstrate Davidson's lack ofan overall agency for dealing withsecurity matters. Considering the College, it is amazing that no committee coordi- nated all these events. However, the fact that no central coordination exists is quite obvious. For a security program to work, elements — all— its must be linked;each department official or unofficial must com- municate with every other department.
