What circumstances led to the incident that happened in the there to protect the students and are given training on how to handle Quads. Apparently, a student entered the building and attempted to certain situations. Also, students need to take some of the respon· sell drugs to a student. One important question that needs to be ask­ sibility for their own safety. ed is how he gained access mto the building in the first place. Sincerely. On certain nights Widener students are employed to make sure Mark R. Michener that non-students and students that live in different dorms sign in Editor-in-Chief and show proper ID. In addition, they must indicate upon signing in where in the building they are going. If they can not show a valid ID or drivers license they are not permitted into the resident halls. The students job is to ask each student or non-student for this in­ formation as they enter the building. They do this by questioning each student as they enter the bUilding. The problem with this is that the student has no way of verifying the information they are wl-i,47; mE W(,ftfy? given. Also, they may be given false information and they have no way of knowing. Consequently, he may have never been questioned by the student on duty or he may have lied in order to gain access to the bUilding. Another possible scenario is that a door was propped by a student or a student let him in not knowing who he was. Unfortunately, this happens on campus and the only way for t his to stop happening is to make students more aware of what could happen as a result of a pro­ pped door. Sometimes it takes an incident such as this to make students more conscious of what they are doing and what could result. Consequently, I feel that changes should be made to make sure .that all students are questioned as they enter the building. In addi­ tion, some way of checking whether a student is actually a resident of that particular building should be provided. A possible solution might be to have the RA on duty watch the door after all they are LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THE DOME Theta Chi Thanks Administrators WIDENER UNIVERSITY Box 1175, Chester, Pa. 19013 For Helping in Renovation Project Ext. 4421 or (215) 499-4421 Director of Physical Plant Carl Awarded first place certificate by Dear Sir.
