Campus Security parking tickets and more by Myra Oshlo There it is. under your windshield wiper, fluttering in the brcc e. an- other parking ticket. A parking ticket may be the only contact many students have with campus security. De- pending on the violation, a fine of either S5 or SIO is asscssd, but procrastinators beware, after 14 days fines double. The prospect of parting with a S20 bill is unpleasant indeed, but slow payers are almost certain to ante up eventually. If an individual accumulates three or more unpaid parking tickets, his vehicle is placed on a low list. If the vehicle is impounded, the owner must pay the tow fee as well as his fines, before be can get his car back. Campus security is present at registra- tion lime to collect overdue fines. Further- more. by notifying the registrar s office, campus security can hold a student's grades, transcripts and diploma until his fines are paid. During the 1984-85 school year, cam- pus security issued over 13.000 parking tickets, said Dan Pinkerton, director of security. Mans of these tickets were voided when cited students complied with regula- tions by purchasing a parking permit. Even so, finance office records show that campus security generated about $72.000 in reve- nue from 1984-85 parking fees and fines. A similar figure was projected for this year. Where do all those bucks go? All of the fine money goes back into KSCs institu- tional cash fund, which is deposited with the slate treasurer. Pari of the approximately S30.000 collected annually for parking fees is used to help support the operating expenses of campus security. Another portion of the permit money, currently half, is earmarked for financing parking im- provements. While parking tickets are the most visible aspect of their work, KSCs six full- time and two part-time officers actually spend only a small portion of their lime writing tickets. Pinkerton estimated that over 90 percent of the parking tickets written on campus were issued by work- study student ticket writers, which frees the trained officers to pursue campus security's other responsibilities. “Primarily wc are responsible for the safety of around 2.000 campus residents, their property, and the property of the college. Pinkerton said. Officers have keys to all the doors for campus buildings, enabling them to patrol the corridors, and lock the hundreds of doors they find left unlocked each year. Security checks every building on campus seven nights a week and during the day on Saturday and Sunday. Crowd control is another important aspect of campus security work. Officers are on hand at dances, concerts, and sporting events to help ensure the safety of participants and spectators. Campus security functions much as the police force in any small community. They go out on lost dog calls and family disturbances in College Heights, and re- spond to fire and emergency unit calls. Officers are stale deputy sheriffs. They can issue warnings or citations as the situation warrants. They also have arrest powers. If they have to physically arrest someone, that person is taken to the Buffalo County jail. Officers conduct investigations of cam- pus crimes, maintain a foot patrol around the residence halls and arc involved with catching and prosecuting thieves and van- dals. Alcohol is involved cither directly or indirectly in a large majority of incidents, according to Pinkerton. He cites drunken- ness as a contributing factor in nearly all campus vandalism that occurs outside the residence halls. We don't go into the residence halls looking For things, like drugs for instance, unless it is in the course of an investigation, or if wc responded to a call and happened to observe or smell something, Pinkerton said. Under such circumstances, security No guns . . . Early this fall, a number of KSC students voiced their concern that an unarmed security force might not be able to adequately protect them. This sparked a Student Senate inquiry. Campus security officers carry a night stick, but do not carry firearms. In case of a confrontation with a person who has a gun, security would contact the Kearney Police Department, said Dan Pinkerton, director of security. “A gun does not make the officer, his training and knowledge. His use of verbal skills and common sense do, Pinkerton said. At one lime, campus security officers did carry guns. A shooting incident oc- curred at KSC on Nov. 23, 1969, leaving a 19-ycar-old Claytonia man dead and a campus security officer critically wounded. The incident began after Randall Sagehorn escorted his Saturday night date
