Dorm room security By Rachel Mitchell Wenewsmagazine Dorm rooms are designed as a safe environment for all students and quest of WCU. There are certain rules and regulations that each hall has to abide by in order to make it a safe environment for the students, To ensure comfort and a safe environment while living in a dorm, students may chose between living in an all male/female or a co-ed dorm. The general rules are the same for all dorms but some may have extra regulations depending on gender. Guests are permitted in all dorms but they must always have a student || escort, even parents. However, guest of the opposite gender are only permitted to visit during the times of Sun.-Thurs., noon to midnight; Fri-Sat, noon to 2 am. This ensures that all residents are protected and that disruption is kept to a minimum. The resident will be held accountable for any disruption caused by the guest and the resident may have disciplinary action taken against them. Guests of the same gender are allowed to stay overnight but may not stay for more than three consecutive nights. Special permission must be issued before they are allowed to stay longer. Overnight guests of the opposite gender are not permitted and guests under the age of 18 are allowed but discouraged. Visitors may remain in the resident lobby after hours but are stil required to have an escort, Ifa student has a guest, itis important for them to be informed of the rules of the dorm. Bathrooms are on each wing but depending on the quest they may not be able to use them. In dorms such as Helder and Leatherwood, which are single-gender dorms, a guest of the opposite gender are required to use the designated bathrooms on the first floor. They are not permitted to By Jessica Cregger * WGnewsmagazine Many college students keep in touch through websites such as Facebook or MySpace. These sites allow students to sign up under their school, create 2 personal profile of interests, contact information, courses they're presently enrolled in, and their relationship status. Users can upload pictures into albums 50 that friends can view them, but many students give little thought to who can actually see their profile and pictures. It may surprise them to know that there fre several groups of people who may be keeping tabs on them without their notice. The first group for students to be aware of is their professors. At WCU alone, there are approximately 60 faculty and 100 staff members who have a Facebook profile. Most aren't too detailed, at least not as detalled as a student's profile would be. So what do faculty and staff need these profiles for? It's Possible that they use sites such as Facebook and MySpace to keep track of their colleagues, but it's also possible that they use the sites to keep track of their students. Finding out what wild and crazy things their students got into over the weekend probably provides for some great talk in the office. Yes, some faculty land staff are apathetic as far as their students extra-curricular activities go, but thats beside the point. The point is that they're online just like the students; students need to leave off information that they don't want the whole world to know. Another group of people who might search through student profiles is future employers. Believe it or not, Facebook and MySpace profiles could be the deciding factor of whether or not interviewees get the job. It could also decide if they get to keep their jobs. A student might have an impressive resume, but one Jook at an online profile, and employers would get an idea of who that person is outside of academia. Or an employee might write something awful about his PRIVACY: ARE THEY WATCHING YOU Do you know whos looking at your profile? use the bathrooms on then upper wings. Some previous incidents with the bathrooms include students taking pictures of other students while they were in the shower. During each semester all dorms are required to have one planned fire drill. During this time all residents are made to leave the building while RAs search each room, Searches are required to make sure that no students are hiding in their rooms. RAs will not search through a resident's belongings; instead, they look around the room to make sure that it is not occupied. Once an RA has finished searching a room they will lock the door so it is important that residents take their keys when leaving. Otherwise residents will have to contact their RA to reopen the door which can carry a fine. During the holidays students enjoy decorating their room or enjoy having decorations that make it feel more like home, Christmas trees are Permitted, but must be either plastic or metal. No live trees are allowed due to the risk of fre. Ifa student is unsure whether or not they can use their tree, ask the RA if it is useable. Any decorations on the tree must be made from noncombustible material to reduce the risk of fire. To keep items from being stolen students are urged to lock their room doors when they are leaving. Students in the past have had computer and other electronics stolen because doors were not locked. Also do not allow any suspicious individual inside of a dorm and use the peephole in the door before opening it. Western's insurance policy is not obligated to pay for stolen or damaged items so students are urged to protect their own belongings. boss and then either be on his boss bad side or be canned. A profession that needs to be extra careful when using online sites such as Facebook and MySpace is educators. Since educators work with younger, usually more technologicaily-advanced students, they should keep in mind that their students will probably search for them online. It'd be cool for a high-school student to find pictures of his teacher at some party from last weekend, but it may not be so coo! for the teacher, should word get around. Some parents keep tabs on their college students by looking at their online profiles, While many students consider themselves responsible and grown up, mom or dad may have a completely different view. Since the school is not legally able to give parents information of students (age 18+) without a written consent by the student, parents have another option, Putting trashy pictures online, especially if students do it while they're drunk, is a good way to get caught. A final group students should be aware of online is old, creepy stalkers. A35-year-old grungy guy from across the state who wants to be a 19-year-old female student's friend either has a real problem or hes not who he says he is. Many students try to collect friends online just to see how many people they can add as their friend. They simply need to be aware that there are many strange people out there who prey on students such as themselves. Changing privacy settings could help eliminate unwanted predators. Students who use Facebook or MySpace need to think twice before posting last Wednesday night's pictures of beer pong and partying. There could be people looking at their pictures and profile content without their knowing, Online profiles can be more important than for just catching up with friendsa lot can be at stake. i ___newsmagazine
