DRAWINC BY SEAN LYNN planning are In the first Concert security works behind the scenes By Andrew Paris Staff Writer

For most people, the Bryan Adams concert held in the Field House Arena on Nov. 22 began when Mr. Big hit the stage, but for the campus police the night began much earlier. The preparations began days ahead of time as security arrangements were made for the safety and well being of the performers as well as the crowd. Hours before the concert, patrols began on the roadways and in the arena area. Heavy traffic and possible accidents are a major concern outside the arena, while the safety of the performers is a concern inside. With the large amount of people packed into a small area, the likelihood of accidents and injuries was increased much like that of the roadways. "Our job is to get people in and out as safely as we can while avoiding any problems," said Chief A1 Wygant. During the performance the patrolling continued. As one officer said, "We're not here to spoil anybody7 s fun. We're just here to prevent some from getting out of control and ruining the fun for others." According to the police, the night went relatively smooth due to the cooperation of the crowd and the preparation of the security personnel. 235-2605 135 E Fulton Mon/Sat 11-10 + Sun 2 7 Grand Valley Apartments: rebuttal from manager Dear Chris: We would like to take issue with your article discussing your feeling that the rates for students housing at Grand Valley Uni­ versity are too high for the product provided. I think it is interesting that your comment about investing at $2,000 per share of shock and that each student must buy four shares indicates that you must be to a certain degree aware of the high cost of student housing. To really do your readers a service, you should spend some time discussing the facts and figures as to not only construc­ tion of student housing but also the operation of student housing. R eader says ethnic Also keep in mind that the income for these apartments is almost totally derived from the nine month school year, as opposed to traditional apartments that can spread their income evenly over organizations at twelve months. If you were to take the our rental rates from the school year plus the small amount we receive in the summer and divideby 12,you willfind that this compares veryfavorably with Grand Valley open the traditional standard apartment in the Grand Rapids area. Also keep in mind that standard apartments do not include furniture as student housing does, nor are they located within to everyone walking distance to the University or constructed with new technology designed to save the student utility cost.
