  • Page 7 Western Carolinian February 28, 2007 cont. from pg..6 try in every way to get out name out there. The program finds it hard to find students around campus that are interested in Greek life. We have seen that it is hard to find a large audience for the things that we planned and thats why it is impor- tant we team up with fellow Greeks to increase interest, Madenyika said. Emmanuel Wilder has been a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity incorporated since Spring 06. T have had a really great experience with my organization here at Western, Wilder said. I feel like we set an ex- cellent example with the things that we do on and off campus. We also enjoy giving back to our community through the Big Brother/ Big Sister program at the local public schools, and we are in the process of planning The March of Dimes fundraiser. Some Greeks feel that the program helps to stay on campus. Tt is not hard to see how NPHC positively effects our campus, we try to do everything we can to get involved, Wilder said. We are very proud about everything we do here and invite all councils to join us. Want your opinion to be known? Correct an article published.

By: Amanda Talbot Staff Writer Two unidentified men vandal- ized the third, seventh, eighth and ninth floors; and assaulted students with a fire extinguisher on Feb. 9, in Harrill Residence Hall. An 18-20 year old white (His- panic) male, approximately 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 3 inches tall, was one of the suspects in the incident. He was wearing a light blue, long-sleeve shirt with blue jeans and tennis shoes. He had a plastic bag stuck in his right front pocket and was reported speaking with a Spanish accent. The second suspect in the case is anl18-20 year old African American male, approximately 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall. He was reported wearing a black zip-up hooded sweat- shirt over a black t-shirt with a red design on the chest. He was wearing dark colored pants and shoes, and a red baseball cap. The men were let into the build- ing by residents believing them to be residents of the hall. Hall said. The students let them in be- cause they looked like students. Afton Harris, a victim in the incident, was with two friends when she encoun- tered the men. The door of my friends room was unlocked and two guys opened the door carrying a fire extinguisher Har- ris said. I told them they couldnt have that so I followed them to get them_out of the building. Harris said that the men then walked to the elevator, spraying it with the fire extinguisher. At this point, Har- ris tried to grab the fire extinguisher. After I tried to grab it, I told him I would call the police, Harris said. Then he got scared. Harris said the man angrily threatened her life, and then sprayed her with the fire extinguisher before she could return to her friends room. After he threatened> me. 7 turned around to my friend, and started running to the room, Harris said. He started spraying me before I could get back to my friends room. Harris said that the men sprayed her with the fire extinguisher in the face before she could close the room door. Immediately, she called campus police, and they were on the site within sec- onds. A resident of Harrill Hall also witnessed the vandalism, but wishes to remain nameless for safety purposes. He said that around 3 a.m. Saturday morning he heard banging in the hall lobby. I was upstairs at three in the morning and I heard banging, witness said. They were stuffing benches in the elevator. Then they came into my room carrying a fire extinguisher, and asked, Wheres the fire? Thats when I told them to leave. The witness said that the men then sprayed several floors with the fire extinguisher and even went into one room and sprayed a residents comput- er. The dust from the extinguisher set of the fire alarm, witness said. We evacuated at 3:30 a.m. and they would let us in until around 5:30 a.m. They wouldnt let the third and seventh floors back in until around 7:30 that Saturday morning. The witness observed the dam- age done to his floor before evacuating the building. The bathrooms and our lobby were vandalized, witness said. They ripped posters down in the lobby, and left human feces on the floors of the bathroom. They also soaked toilet paper and threw it all over the bathroom. Ansley remembers waking up to a fire alarm. IT woke up to an alarm, Ansley said. So I made sure the students got out safe and then assessed the building. The housekeeping came at 7:00 a.m. to clean up the damage, and we didnt let students ss in until everything was cleaned up. In response to the incident, Crime Prevention Coordinator, Bruce " Barker is cooperating with R.D.s and Tailgating is the main issue, Laura Rp A-s of the residence halls to set up Ansley, Residence Director of Harrill programs and presentations to make students more aware of their safety. People who dont need to be in the building are getting in, Barker said. Tts very important not to let people into the building. We have an access card system for a reason, and we take it for granite. Sergeant T. Ammons-Hagberg of WCU Police said that the police were increasing foot patrol and build- ing walk-throughs. Were talking to students to stress the importance of not letting tail- gaters. in, Ammons-Hagberg said. T hope the kids are being more aware of who comes into their build- ing, and if you notice people that dont belong, call the police, and talk to your R.A. Ansley said she plans to arrange a bulletin board in Harrill Hall display- ing photos of the damage. She hopes that it will remind students not to let tailgaters in the building. I know several R.A.s are hav- - ing hall meetings, Ansley said. Im planning to meet with the halls to reassure them that their safety is our number one concern. WCU Police stress that students do not put themselves in danger if a situation, like this one, were to happen again. Immediately call us and dont put yourself in harms way, Barker said. Were a minute to a minute and a half away. So we can get there quick enough to calm things down. Just dont put yourself in harms way.
