Madden gets patrols
Incidents prompt beefed up security
By Johanna Munoz
StqffWritefi
Concerns that students could be
attacked during the evening hours In
the Henry Madden Library has
prompted campus police to begin
patrolling the building's four floors.
The security increase also comes In
response to repeated student
disruptions of some of the library's
quiet areas.
Two security officers are expected
to begin watching the Inside of the
library by next weekend, said Lt.
Steven King of the campus police
department.
Funding for the officers will come
out of library funds.
Michael Gorman, dean of library
services, said he feels this Is a result
of the libraiy's extended hours that
began last semester.
"We cant be all over the library at
all times." he said. "Our staff Is now
spread thin."
Gorman was quick to add the
objectives for the new program. "I
want everyone using the library to
feel secure and safe, and 1 want to cut
clown on the eating, drinking and
disruptive behavior." he said.
Some incidents In the past which
have contributed to the need for the
officers range from the silly to the
serious, Gorman stud.
"We've had complaints that range
from a student watching television on
one of the floors," he said, "to one guy
sitting outskfe the reserve book room
with   a   cockatoo  perched   on   his
shoulder. __^y
There was also the student that
was dribbling a basketball from the
old library to the newer section of the
library."
He said the most serious of the\
incidents was a student that had an
epileptic seizure during the e*fcnlng
hours in a secluded area of the
library.
After falling and hitting her head
on a nearby shelf, she told library
staffers that she had been
unconscious for awhile, before finally
'recovering and walking downstairs.
m "We didn't know anything about it."
said Gorman. "Who knows how long
she had been lying up there."
In response to these types of
incidents, the officers are scheduled to
patrol during the evening hours, seven
days a week. However, only one officer
will be on duty a night.
King also said the safety of students
would be assured, especially In the
more Isolated areas.
The person will keep moving." he
said, "moving through all areas of the
library and the basement."
The officers will also be walking
around with badges on, Gorman said.
"If the students see them, maybe
they won't be as likely to do these
types of things, and if they proceed
anyway they will be approached." he
said. "Radioing Into campus police
wlD be the last resort"
King said the new officers will be
trained in radio procedures, first aid.
cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, how
to handle people and university
procedures and policies.
