W Y- hat do we need cops for? This isn't a iail, it's a 4 sw school. This was the reaction of a great many North- west students when they discovered that security guards had been placed in their. school. Captain John Quatman of the security division of the Indianapolis School Board explained that security guards were not stationed at schools to police students, but rather to protect them. Every school in lndianapolis was required to have at least two security guards, placement of additional guards was dependent upon the students' general attitudes and behavior. In some schools throughout the city, it was also necessary to have policewomen especially for the girls. Northwest has not yet come to that and I doubt if it ever wiII, stated Paul Heaton, dean of boys. ln my opinion, Ser- geant Jones and Officer Taylor do an excellent iob and are a great help in controlling disturbances. They achieved their primary purpose of keeping outsiders from entering the building and protecting the students as well as the faciIities, he explained. They also at- tained. their secondary goal of maintaining order within the building itself. As a security guard at Northwest, Sergeant John Jones expressed how he felt. I don't like acting as a police officer over Northwest students, but I do like working with them and attempting to communicate with the students, he said. I consider them all my children when I come into this building. I may have to raise some cane with them once in awhile, he continued, but no one from the outside will be permitted to cause trouble as long as I'm here. Officer Robert Taylor, IPS security guard, revealed similar thoughts about the students and' atmosphere at Northwest. I look to examine the students' opinions on life and look back to compare our values. I feel I can relate their views with mine and I have really learned from the students. Officer Taylor added that North- west had fewer problems with school disturbances than any other school. I think the students want it this way, he explained.
