n BLANKETS CAMPUS can't work over 15 hours a week. Limited term employees are used to fill in when something happens to one of the officers. ‘‘We put them in a car with a uniform. O'Neill explained. No one knows if the student is really a police officer or not. They aren't going to take the chance and find out.” These students are able to make citizen arrests. Security has new duties this year. With students living at St. Bede's, the officers patrol out there (a distance of 3.2 miles) at least once between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. During the fall semester there was the problem of about 3,000 students crossing the street between the arena and Hibbard Hall every hour. Officers directed traffic at peak hours. With the new drive open next to Phillips, this problem lessened when security was only needed to direct the traffic to the new opening. This also alleviated the traffic congestion at the bottom of the hill in the morning. During the three years security has directed traffic there, about 3,500 students and 300 to 500 cars have used the hill drive during peak hours Tran port mg injured nudentt it one of the dutin performed by Officer Gaylord Johnton. oppotite page, and Jim Ludwig ton. above. (7 to 9 a.m.). Security is also responsible for ticketing speeders, cars without stickers, those parked in the wrong place, and bikes not in bike racks. But, O'Neill said, speeding isn't really a problem here. There are more accidents from cars sliding into one another in winter weather. 'There is really no way to safely cut down on speeders, he added. Last year, 92 traffic tickets were issued. We have a little bit of everything except murder, thank goodness.” The bulk of the 1973-74 arrests ending June 30, were for theft and disorderly conduct. There were 55 adult and three juvenile arrests; 33 persons were caught shoplifting in the University Bookstore. 35

KEEPIIMG INFORMED The aroma of freshly popped popcorn, a hurried pounding of typewriter keys and tired voices occasionally raised in consultation are what may escape from Spectator doors Monday nights. Monday nights, lasting from 6:30 p.m. to between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., are deadline nights for the campus newspaper and its nine editorial board members. The story of the Spectator, an All-American newspaper, actually begins each Monday morning when approximately twenty reporters and three photographers pick up their assignments in HHH 108. They have until Friday to complete their assignments. But since most know Monday is actually the final deadline, assignments are often handed in on Mondays. Once stories are received, they’re copy edited and then read by Al Mundth. editor-in-chief, or Monica Stauber, associate editor. Together with advertisements and pictures, the copy is laid out in pages. Headlines and picture cutlines ore then written. The last step on Monday nights is organizing everything in packets for delivery to the Chippewa-Herald Telegram, where the Spectator is printed. The printers have one and a half days to type the copy. On Wednesday afternoons about eight Spectator editors and the advertising staff proofread and cut stories which are too long. The paper is then published. Around noon on Thursdays. 6.500 Spectator copies are delivered on campus for dispersal. The newspaper averages 20 pages with 45 percent advertising each week. The Spectator has an operating budget of about $50,000. Advertising pays about one half the cost of operation; Student Senate allocations furnish the other half.
