  • .man editorial April 14,1999 15 Are Police Above the Law? Dear Editor, At Western Carolina University there is a definite police presence, especially at night. I have observed three different types of police roaming throughout campus, State Troopers, Jackson County Sheriff, and of course-campus police. All of these have more than the fact that they are all law enforcement officers in common; they all break the campus speed limit. I'm not talking about doing five or even ten miles an hour over, I have observed them going at least twenty miles an hour over. As I understand it, officers are supposed to abide by the laws, unless in pursuit. The campus speed limit of twenty miles per hour was instituted so the many pedestrians who walk the streets can be a little bit safer. Just the other night on Sunday the 28th of March, I was pulling out of the lower lot of Walker Hall when a white burst of lightening came flying around the already hard to see around comer. It was a Jackson County Sheriff going at such a rate of speed that it was hard to distinguish exactly what kind of vehicle it was. If I were to have pulled out before this car I would probably have been seriously injured. That definitely wasn't the first time I had seen a speeding law enforcement agent on campus, and unless something is done, I doubt it will be the last. Officers please, for the safety of all students on campus, SLOW DOWN!, whether or not you think you're above the law. Sincerely, Jason Drum Give Campus Police More Respect Dear Editor, I was distressed yesterday when a professor, in one of his classes, referred to the University Police as the Cullowhee Security Guards in a derogatory manner. I also hear the same thing from students during fire drills and other events where there is a police presence. This is completely appalling, and especially when I think waht these officers have to go through to become what they are. Every Police Officer on this campus is sworn in with North Carolina Basic Law Enforcement Training certification. This certification is required of every police officer in NC from those in Charlotte to those here on the campus of WCU. These men and women have been trained to be highly effective Police Officers and are due every ounce of respect they deserve. Not only do the Police on campus help students when they need assistance (including to the almost 1300 time a year the Police unlock doors or jump-start cars) but also to those students who are abused and assaulted. The police here on campus also fulfill their job more than adequately by arresting and seeing the prosecution of those ■yi'ho do not respect the law. Remember, the men and women or the WCU POLICE are POLICE OFFICERS, not security guards. So, the next time you think of referring to them as the "po-po," the "fuzz," "pigs," or as mere security guards (just because they are in a University with little crime) how about thanking them instead, for a job well done. Sincerely, Phillip Booe Criminal Justice Major The Dean Plemmons Scholarship Established by the family and friends In memory of Dean Carroll Plemmons Dean Plemmons graduated from WCU in 1960 with a bachelor's degree in chemistry. While at WCU, he served as president of men's House Governent, vice president of the student body, and was a charter member of Kappa Sigma Kappa, the first national fraternity on campus. He founded the Marshallton Research Laboratories in Marshallton, PA. Purpose: Scholarship support for returning students who are active or were past participants in at least three of the following organizations or activities: 1. A campus social organization (fraternity or sorority) 2. A civic or campus organization 3. A campus academic organization (honorary, society, etc) 4. A campus organization that promotes WCU (athletic team, cheerleader, band, etc) Grade Requirement: 3.0 GPA Selection Committee: A committee of two faculty members and one member of the Student Affairs staff Deadline: Applications are available now in the Student Affairs Office, 460 HFR, and must be returned to the Student Affairs Office on or before April 19,1999 at 5:00 p.m. Editorial You're Gonna Do What? According to a flyer handed out by Student Affairs to SGA members at a recent meeting, and to certain members of the Carolinian staff, the Higher Education Act Amendments of 1998 allow a new penalty for alcohol and drug violations. The act, which went in to effect October 1 of last year, allows colleges and universities to call parents when students under 21 are caught with possession or are using drugs or alcohol. OK, lets exaggerate a little and at the same time make this scenario a little clearer. You're past the ripe, old age of 18. Here ya' go, boy: your Selective Service Card and your Voter Registration Card! Yes, sir, you are a man! You can defend your country with pride and help to decide the fate of your country. What more, you're in college, trying to make sense of this world and figure out how to fit all that work in that small amount of time you seem to have. OH! But wait! What's that in that mug? And what on Earth is that you're smoking? How could you? Suddenly, you're irresponsible and foolish for you're interest in something new to you. You have experimented with drinking, smoking. So, you're human! However, you still have to pay the $50 fine for underage drinking and go to special classes. And for smoking, something other than tobacco, you must go to court, pay a fine, do some community service, and, if you're lucky, be on parole. Now the administration and the police can say this, too: Before you leave the office, though, WE are going to screw your life up MORE than YOU already have. We're gonna call Mommy and Daddy! You're gonna do what!? What's next? If I don't come to class or do my homework, do I have to wear a dunce cap and sit in the corner? Come on! Over 18 is considered adult. Adults have a dichotomous situation: they have the privilege of having fun and making mistakes, and they have the responsibility of paying for it. That's the way it's always been. I understand the premise that most students have their parents paying for their education, and they therefore have the right to know what trouble their sons and daughters are getting into. But not all students are 100% reliant upon their parents. Why not treat them as adults, as mentioned above? Don't make the student's life worse by their parents having to hear about their mistakes from the police or administration first. They should hear about it first from their children, and probably will. Since this is already law, there isn't much one can do about it. What's done is done. Perhaps down the road it will go back to the way it was: do the crime, do the time, so to speak. But for now, Dr. Caruso, Vice-Chancellor for Student Affairs, is handing out a flyer that says they are "seeking ideas on the best way to implement this provision of the law." Well, the "best way" to notify parents is to let the student do it, as it should be. But if the administration must notify parents, it shouldn't be done after just one violation, and perhaps they aren't planning to do that. It would be really bad if parents were being notified after a student makes one mistake, as seen by the law. Parent notification should come after repeat violations and repeated attempts on the part of the administration to curb the student from bad habits and rehabilitate him or her. Students under 21 are still young to a certain degree in that they will make mistakes that are really quite embarrassing sometimes and seem irresponsible, but they aren't as experienced. Calling parents is something administrators do in high school. Notifying college students' parents doesn't help the students. It doesn't help the parents. All it does is make a bad situation more complicated. That helps no one. Seth R.
