They started their vigil Iran the night before. Approximately 300 Morehouse students, aimed with pillows, blankets, and sleeping bags, gathered in the Sadie Mays Lounge in Mays Hall, ready to camp out and wait for up to 16 hours in line. They weren’t trying to get tickets to a concert featuring Jay-Z or Beyonze; nor woe they trying to get courtside seats to an NBA All-Star game. No, these students were waiting in line at the Morehouse Housing Office to get favorable housing assignments for the 2004-05 academic year. “Ridiculous and very disorganized” are the words that freshman psychology major Kevin Elliott used to describe this year’s housing assignment process, charging that it “showed no planning on the college’s part.” The fiasco started at 7.30 p.m. on the day before the housing assignments were scheduled to take place. A group of 20 students from Graves Hall decided to begin their siege eariy by camping out in Ihe Sadie Mays Lounge. Upon learning that students were already camping out, many other students decided to join the fray. By 10.00 p.m, the crowd in the Mays Hall had swelled to over 150 students. With pillows, blankets, and sleeping bags at the ready, the students resembled refugees. By 4.00 am the next morning, over250 students littered the floors, tables and chairs of Sadie Mays Lounge. In the meantime, Housing Director Merlin Todd and other members of the housing staff worked , attempting to maintain sane semblance of order ROBERT GA1NES/STAFF •Please see NEW, page 2 Morehouse student endured a rough night's sleep awaiting morning housing registration.

The first older of business is to secure several buildings on the campus and makeA sure doors are locked inside and out and certain buildings were uninhabited. The campus is subdivided into zones that officers are responsible for during any given shift. On this night, we make the rounds through zone 1, an area encompassing the century campus, Archer Hall, and Fobes Arena Doing a foot patrol to secure these buildings is demanding wok, and made more daunting under the cover of darkness. That, in addition to being one officer shot on tonight, makes for more wok fo those that are on watch. As we approach a door in Archer leading to Forbes, I ask officer Johnson how long itusually takes to make sure the building is secure. His reply tells of what was to cone: “On a good night, maybe 45 minutes.’ ’ To that point, I never knew so many doors existed in this building.
