Recent articles in both The News and The College News have reported a step-up irl seOUri ty in the Science Bulldi;;g. As sclencf: majora, this is an issue with. which we are very concerned. Reports from friends who regularly study at the Science Building led us to believe tha.t there really was no step-up in securl ty, therefore, we decided to investigate the situation. The following are our findings;
Date Time Observations
February 20 9'30-9'50 p.m. Three doors were open I the physics back door, the geology door, and the front door of the buildine·* No security guard was present anywhere in the build1ng.
February 21 9:00-9.45 p.m. Same as previous night.
February 2;: 8'30-9:15 p.m. Four doors were open; the physics back door, the geology door. the biology froflt door I and the front door of the bu1lding.* • No security guard was present anywhere in the bu ilding.
Febzvary 2) 8'30-9:10 p.m. Four doors were open: the biology door, the physics back door, the chemistry door that leads to the organic chemistry lab**, and the front door of the bu1lding*.

a. It would bf; letter to hG..Vt- liEt-.ts on in stairways, rather thar'l ir. unused classrooms.
b. Security's telephone number should be on the telephones, for easy access.
c. Signs saying "Pull Door Shut" should be placed on aLl doors that do not lock automatically, This includes all doors except for the chemistry d001'S, which can only be locked wi th keys,
d. A security guard 5hould be at the Science Buildjng permanently, w1thout reducing security pre�ence on the rest of the campus.
