Your first introduction to them may be the ticket on your windshield. Until then you may have never thought much about them. They al- ways seem to be present everywhere - sitting in the corner of the room watching the cashiers during enroll- ment or driving past the dorms at 3 a.m. You can find them at just about every school activity, but you have to look hard at times. They seem invisible, the omnipre- sent NEOSU cops. The efficient-running sec- urity office has evolved by the experience and vast knowl- edge of Captain Gene Frusher. Frusher came to Northeastern as director of security in 1969 during nationwide campus unrest. Before he came to Northeast- ern he had been with the Ok- lahoma Highway Patrol for twenty years as head of spe- cial services. In the past eight years Cap- tain Frusher has been head of security the crime rate has dropped considerably, even though the staff has been re- duced from 17 to eight. ln a sense the atmosphere of the security division has changed over the years. Of course, security will always be consi- dered with suspicion and ap- prehension. But to most of the Student Body they inspire respect and graditude, a well earned reputation. This type of rapport between the sec- urity division and students is good, and that's important. 22 Failure to Clear This

Life Among the Savages Well, l'd heard about col- lege life, and man I was ready for it! I remember when I first moved into the dorm. It was my first time away from home. They told me I was in the best dorm on campus. The dorm that rocked all night with music, smoked all night with incense and screamed all night with profanity. The dorm that had more windows and doors replaced every se- mester than any other dorm. All the guys in my quad were kind of strange. I would hear them at two o'clock in the morning out in the quad holding wrestling matches. After midnight the guys two doors down would yell at the girls in the dorm across the street f'Hey 318, pull your shades so we can get a better look!'l Hey 406, you fox, what's your phone number? It became customary for me to beat on the wall around two every morning because my neighbor wanted to share his ZZ Top with the rest of the world. Well, l'd heard about col- lege life, but I wasn't quite ready for this!
