Sou'westerSouthwestern At Memphis

VOL. 69, NO. 24

Securityby Bobby Doughtie

It seems as though crime on theSouthwestern campus is rampant.For example, hardly a week goesby it seems, without someone re-porting a bicycle stolen or a wallettaken. Recently, a Volkswagen be-longing to the RA of UniversityHall was stolen and one of hisroom-mates was the victim of arobbery. It has been worse, how-ever.

Colonel Max McQuown, Directorof Security, sat back in his chairin the Frances Falls Austin Build-ing, and referred to the state ofcampus security before he joinedthe campus staff in 1976. "The on-campus theft was rampant. Frank-ly, the place was in bad shape. Ina period of about four months,from September to December of1976, there were twenty-six bikesstolen, thirty-four wallets tak enfrom the Administration and fac-ulty offices in Palmer and Clough,and thirteen cars broken into."

Student access to the gym andstudent center was severely lim-ited by large numbers of off-cam-pus people who had no connectionwith the college. "This place, ineffect, was a large communitycenter."

In his new position as Directorof Security at Southwestern, oneof the first actions taken by Mc-Quown was the implementation ofa "simple preventive security pro-gram" designed to cut down on theintense rate of criminal activity.This program was effective and hasbeen continued to' the present time.

A person present on campus mustbe a member of the college com-munity, doing business with thecollege, or be a prospective stu-dent. If the person does not meetany of these criteria, that personis asked to leave.

The system of building accesssign-in was instituted at this time,to allow security to keep bettertrack of which buildings were inuse and to better protect theequipment in those buildings. Gateson the North Parkway, University,and Charles Street entrances wereinstalled and are closed after acertain time each night.

The results of this program canstill be seen today. Within a year,

System atthe number of "non-authorizedpersonnel" was reduced significant-ly. The incidents of theft declineddramatically and have generallystayed down. The first two theftsof bikes this year did not occur,according to the Colonel, until theend of this second term. Since then,he admitted, three more have dis-appeared.

"For a college this size, weprobably have the best securityrecord in the country," affirmedMcQuown, despite a general risein crime nationwide, and South-western's location in one of thehighest crime areas in Memphis.Furthermore, he notes with evi-dent pride, it was done withoutan increase in the number ofguards employed by the college.Col. McQuown made it clear thatthere were still issues pending andchanges that he would like to seemade.

He stressed that the "principalthreat to the college is OvertonPark." The best defense againstthe "winos, dopers, and potheads"from the park is simply for stu-dents to keep their cars and doorslocked. The Colonel urged stu-dents to take "reasonable care"of their possessions. "It's been along arduous process to get peo-ple to lock their doors."

He added that the college didn'twant to have to fence in thegrounds (as :a former SecurityDirector wanted to do, completewith barbed wire) because of thefortress or prison mentality thatsuch a move might engender. Someparts of the Back 40 could befenced in to channel traffic intomore easily patrolled areas. Healso recommends that the alley be-hind University Street dorms befenced off from the new dorms thatwill replace University, Stewart,and Evergreen Halls.

Currently, the security depart-ment is undergoing a shortage ofstudents to work at the desk in

the Austin Building. As the end ofthe year approaches, more andmore work-study students are run-ning out of assigned hours. Thereare only ten students now workingat security, a small number whichhas forced the Colonel to drop theinfamous 3:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.shift. This means that there is noone in the office from 3:00 a.m.until the next shift of guards comeson at 7:00.

One of the guards comes in tocheck the computer printer every

Southwesternten minutes. Still, there isno one to answer the telephone incase of emergency. "It's not anacceptable situation," said theColonel, "but there's no solutionfor it. It's only temporary."

For the future, McQuown wouldlike to see the addition of a closedcircuit television system to monitorthe gym and swimming pool. Thatproposal is off in the distant future.He is currently pursuing an agree-ment with the Universal Investi-gative Services organization, aprivate security firm which main-tains patrols in areas around thecollege. Such an agreement wouldtake the form of mutual notifica-tions of suspicious characters inthe vicinity of the campus, andlead, hopefully, to increasedchances of apprehension of would-be criminals.

Security will also try a differenttack in the education of incomingfreshmen during orientation nextyear. Instead of Col. McQuown

giving the annual speech about thedos and don'ts of life at South-western, a town student will givethe talk, in hope of communicatingmore effectively the importance oftaking proper precautions to pro-tect life and valuables.

Finally, Col. McQuown noted thatthe students have a very large re-sponsibility on campus. Simply bykeeping their doors locked and byreporting the presence of strangerson campus, by not inviting dangerby jogging alone on the perimeterof the school grounds, by not prop-ping open doors in the dorms; stu-dents can help the security guardsperform their jobs.

Students must ultimately pay forany increase in the security staff,reminded the Colonel, and if theycan prevent the need for additionalhiring, then they are saving them-selves money. "Southwestern se-curity is good," emphasized theColonel, "and it gets better ,everyyear."

Distinguished ProfThe Department of International

Studies has announced that LordSt. Brides will be joining the staffnext fall as a Distinguished VisitingProfessor in the absence of Dr.Cooper, who will be on Sabbaticalfor research with the HeritageFoundation in Washington, D.C.

Lord Saint Brides, born MorriceJames, served successively as Brit-ish High Commissioner (equiva-lent to Ambassador) to Pakistan(1961-66), India (1968-71) and Aus-tralia (1971-76). Following his serv-ice in Pakistan, he visited Salis-bury, Rhodesia several times fortalks with Mr. Ian Smith. Duringthis time as Deputy Undersecre-tary of State in the CommonwealthRelations Office with especial re-sponsibility for Africa, he helpedto set up Prime Minister Wilson'snegotiations with Mr. Smith inH.M.S. "Tiger" in October, 1966,and later accompanied the suc-

ceeding round of negotiations withMr. Smith in H.M.S. "Fearless" in1968. He retired from H.M. Diplo-matic Service in 1976.

During his career James wasmade. successively a Companion,Knight Commander, and KnightGrand Cross of the Order of SaintMichael and Saint George. In 1968he was made a Privy Counsellor,and in 1977 was raised to the Peer-age as Lord Saint Brides.

A recent Southwestern graduate,Jenny has influenced many inter-est groups on campus, through hervitality and insight, including awomen's studies program, an ElSalvador task force, and most re-cently the Committee for PoliticalAwareness.

The Peace and Justice Center,located in Prescott Memorial Bap-tist Church near the MSU campus,provides a place for unity amonglocal, national, and internationalgroups in the peace movement;additionally, it serves as an edu-cational resource center for theMemphis community. SeveralSouthwestern students have parti-cipated in internships and volun-teer positions there this year, work-ing on specific research projects orgeneral administration of the cen-ter.

Upon leaving the Center, Jennywill be writing and working on re-search this summer in China andthis fall in Boston, where she willjoin former Memphis activists PackMatthews and Sharon Welch.

The Final Edition: 'Nuff SaidHere it is, my fourth and final edition of The Sou'wester for this

academic year.

On behalf of the entire staff, I only hope that you've enjoyed readingthis, the campus weekly, as much as we have putting it together.

It's been a rather eventful year, especially for this often hum-drumcampus. Most notably, we demonstrated what a united, well-representedstudent body can achieve in a situation such as that which the Term IIIissue presented; in order to continue having an effective voice on suchconcerns as this, the student body must remain unified, not divided intofactions or cliques.

In closing, farewell to those who will be leaving us shortly; go forthfrom these ivy-clad gates with our best wishes. As for the rest of you,we'll hopefully be seeing you next fall. Have a pleasant summerwherever, doing whatever. 'Nuff said.

Army ROTC: For You?"I talk to college students

throughout the City of Memphis,who tell me that their principal ob-jection to Army ROTC is that itcalls for too big a commitmentafter they graduate," said CaptainDane L. Woytek, Professor of Mili-tary Science at MSUT, recently.

"I can't argue that, because thecommitment the Army calls for isthere for everyone to see and tounderstand.

" but there's more to thebusiness of commitment than stu-dents think," Cpt. Woytek stated."Most men and women will takemore away from the Army thanthey will contribute. Their time inservice will give them experiencewhich they and their future em-ployers will value. Not only do youpick up experience in the vital jobof managing people and resources,you gain a broader view of the

world we live in," he said.Through a cross-enrollment

agreement between Southwesternand Memphis State Army ROTC,students here at SAM are now eli-gible to enter Army ROTC. One ofthe most important requirements isthat you have two academic yearsremaining to complete your studies.The first step is a six-week ROTCBasic Camp the Army conductseach Summer at Fort Knox, Ken-tucky. The Basic Camp is an in-tensive six weeks of training whichis a real introduction to the Armyand what it means to step into aposition of authority and leadership.There is absolutely no obligation forattending the camp, and the studentreceives over $600 in allowancesplus transportation to Fort Knoxand back to your hometown.

The Podium:

The Course for Life; An AddressEditor's note:

The following is a transcriptionof a speech delivered April 15 tothe President's Advisory Councilby James Daughdrill.

STF

I returned recently from a Boardof Directors meeting of AmericanAssociation of Colleges, and as wetalked about the difficult decadeahead for higher education, we arelaunching an educational promo-tional program on liberal learning.The theme is "Get a Liberal Edu-cation: It's the Course for Life."I was so impressed by some of theresearch findings that came outregarding the practicality careerwise of liberal education that Iwantd to share with you some ofthese facts and findings.

This year, a Stanford Universitystudy by Rumberger and Levinconcluded with this: "Everyoneshould acquire analytic, expressive,communicative and computationsskills. Since we cannot predictwhich jobs will be available, it isbest to provide students with astrong general education and anability to adapt to a changing workenvironment."

In 1980, a study of the market-place and workplace by Ann StofferBisconti indicates that skills de-veloped in liberal learning becomemore important as time-in-careerincreases. Those surveyed said thatgeneral learning is of greater valuein their current jobs.

What about law and medicine?The Association of American Medi-cal Colleges reports that of the

Box CE...To the Southwestern community:

The 'Man Course' has beenaround for so long that no one everreally stops to think about what thename of this course actually means.I, for one, didn't - until severalweeks ago, and I was surprisedthat I had not found it objection-able much earlier.

'Man in the Light of History andReligion' is a blatant discrimina-tion against half of the humanrace, and not only by virtue of itsname. The subject matter of thecourse is also quite strictly con-fined to men's doings and achieve-ments. Since this is supposedly aliberal and open-minded institution,it's about time for change and aconscious attempt to include wom-en in our courses and their descrip,tions, starting with 'Man' as themost outstanding example.

Just changing the name from'Man Course' to 'Humanity Course'may not seem to be doing any-thing to further women's causes.However, it is a fact that the waywe talk about something and thekinds of words we use to describesomething affect the way we thinkabout it. Using the same word todesignate one of the sexes andsimultaneously all of humanity saysa lot about the status of that sexin society, aside from reinforcingand perpetuating the division be-tween the sexes and the distinctionsin status.

To put it in other words, "manis, as it were, essentially human,while woman is only accidentallyso." This can be easily seen whenone considers that 'man', 'man-kind,' and 'humanity' are all syn-onyms, whereas 'woman' is syn-onymous with none of these terms.(Robert Baker, 'Prick' and'Chicks': A Plea for 'Persons', inPhilosphy and Sex, p.50) If 'human-ity' is truly to become a genericterm, if it is to mean 'men andwomen', then we have to stop us-ing the words 'man' and 'man-kind' in any context other thanwhere we are specifically referringto a group of males.

Looking at it that way, one could

v

. . . . . . . * . . . . . . . . . . * 0justify the name of the 'ManCourse,' because we are not talk-ing about women and their historyand achievements, but insteadfocusing on history, religion, andphilosophy as men have thoughtabout it in male dominated soc-ieties. It seems, however, quiteappropriate to incorporate wom-en's ideas, their effects on societyand the effects of men's thoughtand policies on them into thecourse. That would definitely shedmore light on humanity's historyand religion, albeit from a ratherdifferent angle.

Thus I see two options: Eitherleave the name as it is, but thenbe very clear about the nature ofthe course and its bias, or changethe name and include women'shistory of oppression under men.

And while I'm at it, I 'wouldalso like to suggest to clarify thescope of the course further by in-serting the word 'Western' before'History and Religion'. . . .

Box CE:

Third Term at Southwestern hasalways been a fun time for me.The campus as well as the com-munity seems to come alive withcultural and sports events andthere is a certain festivity in theair. We should not, however, letourselves be carried away withfestivity to- the point that we be-come destructive and careless. Iwas recently appalled by a groupof students who gathered togetherfor a baseball game on the southside of Burrow Library this lastMonday afternoon. I am appalledto see that any Southwestern stu-dents would leave a very beautifulsection of their campus clutteredwith litter. Strewn across the play-ing field on Tuesday morning weredozens of Miller cups. It is certain-ly fun to drink a few beers andwatch a baseball game, but it isvery easy to pick up after oneself.Southwestern's campus is verybeautiful, particularly in Spring.Let's keep it that way.

ten highest ranking students ac-cepted by medical schools, all buttwo of those majored in liberalarts.

The Pre-Law Handbook publishedby the Association of AmericanLaw Schools states unequivocally,"To face the coming technologicaland social changes of the yearsahead, lawyers must be liberallyeducated. That is why law profes-sors advise against narrow pre-lawstudies."

What about business? ChaseManhattan Bank in 1981 completeda study of 146 of its executives anddetermined what I thought wasastounding. A full 60% of thoseclassified, prior to the study, inthe most successful category hadreceived the bachelor degree only.of those who were characterizedas the least successful, 60% ofthose had the MBA degree whichhad been preceded by a rathernarrowly defined undergraduatecurriculum.

The American Telephone andTelegraph Company recently ex-amined twenty years of data onits company managers and foundthat 43% of its humanities andsocial science majors had excelledin management, compared to 32%of the business majors and 23% ofthe engineers in that very hightechnologically driven companyand industry.

There are job opportunities forliberal education graduates.

Colleges are reporting increas-ing recruiting of liberal arts gradu-ates on the part of companies who

come to their campuses. Harvardhad 51 of these companies want tomake appointments with liberalarts humanities graduates in 1975.In 1981 that had more than doubledto 110. At Southwestern that samenumber is an increase from 5 com-panies to 35 companies and, inspite of the fact, that a much high-er percentage of our graduates goon to graduate and professionalschool than they do from Harvard.Stanford reported an astounding in-crease this year - 11 companieswanted to recruit their liberal artsgraduates in 1979; 116 in 1982.

Many American companies haveindicated that they do want to hirea significant percentage of theirnew employees - they are seekingthose with liberal learning backgrounds.

Bloomingdale reports they arelooking for 80% of those they wantto employ to have that general typebackground. Cha s e ManhattanBank - 50%; General Foods -40%; Inland Steel Company-35%;Manufacturers Hanover Trust -70%.

Those are just a very few of thestatistics from research that hasbeen gathered. A liberal educationteaches students to communicate,to sharpen decision making skills,and develop analytical abilities.Most importantly, a liberal educa-tion conveys the skills and habitsfor continued learning. In short, it'sthe course for life and that is whatSouthwestern is about.

We lack a strong sense of the Sacred Place,the omphalos or navel of the universe,and so we trample secularly through some grovewhere Chickasaw braves grew solemn towardsome dancing-ground of ancestors or a copse forburial.

Its about time to start thinkingabout next year, and along withregistration/validation hassles weare also going to have to deal withthat much talked-about class of1987.

"Standards can't be changed inone year." said Satterwhite. Evenif this year's SAT's are a littlehigher, he said "there's not muchdifference between, say, an 1130and an 1140." Equal emphasis wasalso placed on academic record,extra-curricular activities, etc. asin the past.
