It’s not funny any more. If vandalism was ever something to laugh off, it has long passed that mark. Never really funny except to those who perpetrate it, vandalism .be- came a serious problem this year. It would be ridiculous for any student to say that vandalism hasn ' t affected him. The results are noticeable. So noticeable that Munster has earned the reputation of becom- ing an eyesore. A title, one should be ashamed to say, it rightly deserves. Broken windows and doors patched up by wooden supports and boards make the school look shoddy. Instead of gazing out a glass win- dow, a student finds himself looking into an opaque piece of plastic— practical, but not attractive. The damage has grown to such an ex- tent that it not only detracts from the looks of the school, but it endangers the lives of the students. At one time, 18 tires had been slashed and brakelines cut on the busses. This not only threatened the lives of students who use the busses daily as transportation back and forth from school, but also risked the lives of different athletic teams and orga- nizations that took trips away from school. What about those few who don ' t use- the busses or don ' t mind the window cov- erups? Tell me, who ' s the joke on when you find out that your wallet has been stolen, or one of your textbooks has been ripped off and you know you ' ll have to pay for it at the end of the year out of your own pocket? If you think that it ' s funny when your own class- mates do this, then you must have a warped sense of humor. A big complaint around school was that there were no mirrors in the washrooms, no doors on the stalls and broken toilet bowls. How are these things supposed to be kept in working order, when there are a choice few who do not seem to understand their real usage and instead choose to abuse them. In the long run students are at a loss. With $2600 being payed out to cover repairs, old textbooks could be replaced and new equipment could be purchased. The administration has been forced to adopt a “get tough policy to prevent this vandalism— a policy that makes many stu- dents feel like they ' re in a prison camp. By 3:20 p.m. it ' s impossible to walk from the North to the South building indoors, without running into steel gates stretched across hall- ways or chains locking doors shut. If a stu- dent forgets something and comes back for it after school, he ' s on an almost impossible mission. He usually can ' t get back into the school. If the student feels like taking a short cut he finds it hard to fly over barb wire topped fences surrounding some entrances and the busses. The administration has adopted these measures to help prevent people from getting back into the school and destroying anything. The cause of this armed camp atmosphere— vandals. No doubt the administration has been trying, but its time for students to do their share. Out of 1711 people, there is someone who knows what ' s going on— someone be- side the vandals. It ' s going to be up to the students to try and convince the vandals to stop the destruction. If, after seeing what ' s been going on, having your school look like a prison and having your life put in danger, you still think it ' s a joke, you may find yourself laughing all the way to your grave. jj Vandalism 13
