Officials to ‘card’ dorm residents
By STACY ROBERTSON
Contributing Writer
The security card system cur
rently used in Brumby and Cres-
well halls soon will be instituted in
four more residence halls.
John Ayoob, University resi
dence operation coordinator, said
$28,000 will be spent installing the
security card system in the Hill
community. This includes Church,
Mell and Boggs halls which house
female residences and Oglethorpe
Hall which is coed.
The system, which can maintain
256 card readers, eventually will
be expanded to all 18 residence
halls, he said.
Five or six yearly phases will se
cure the female residence halls
first, the coed halls second and the
male residence halls last, Ayoob
said.
Five percent of all residence hall
fees is accumulated in a reserve ac
count that pays for capital im
provements such as the security
card system, new carpeting and
roofing repairs, he said.
Ayoob said the $30,000 cost for
equipping Brumby and Creswell
halls was $2,000 higher than for
Boggs, Mell, Church and Ogle
thorpe residence halls.
He said the cost for the four resi
dence halls is lower because the
University has already purchased
the system’s computer software,
and fewer doors at the four resi
dence halls need to be monitored.
The system is a response to na
tionwide concern about residence
hall security stemming from an in
cident at Lehigh College in which a
female student was raped and
murdered in an unlocked dorm.
He said the security cards aren’t
a security system.
“It’s an access-control system,”
he said. “It denies access to people
who do not have cards."
When students check into
Brumby and Creswell halls,
they’re issued cards which open
the main doors when inserted into
card readers, Ayoob said.
"I think it’s a pain in the neck
personally,” said Karla Cardinal, a
senior accounting major. “There’s
flaws in everything. People still get
in.”
Residents letting strangers
follow them in is a problem the
housing department cannot con
trol, Ayoob said. "We can only set
policies. We’re trying to make stu
dents responsible for their own
safety."
Some Brumby residents have
complained about being unable to
enter the building through side
and stairwell doors with their secu
rity cards.
"I feel safe, but it would be con
venient to be able to use the side
door,” Cynthia Meyer, a freshman
business major, Baid.
Creswell’s Residence Life Coor
dinator Linda Hudson said secu
rity cards are lost and stolen as
often as room keys are lost and
stolen. Misplaced cards are re
placed immediately.
The $25 replacement cost is paid
for by the capital improvement ac
count according to Ayoob.
He said cards also can be pro
duced for employees and mainte
nance workers, allowing them
admittance only during specific
days and times.
"I think it’s a good system,”
Hudson said. "I think the residents
appreciate and like it.”

Video teleconference scheduled to discuss Georgia issues
By GWINN BRUNS
Staff Writer
Those individuals concerned
with changes in Georgia, take
heed.
The Georgia Center for Contin
uing Education is hosting a video
teleconference which will discuss
issues affecting the shaping of
Georgia’s future today from 10:15
a.m. to 5 p.m. sponsored by the
W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Regis
tration begins at 9:30 a.m. and the
teleconference is open to the
public.
The video, titled “The Changing
Nation: Strategies for Citizen Ac
tion,” will be shown twice during
the day. A seven-member panel
will discuss issues such as human
resources, physical resources, ma
naging resources, and future goals
in Georgia.
The live teleconference will be
broadcast via satellite to 19 sites
across Georgia and 10 sites across
the United States. “The/ll partici
pate in the conference as if they’re
really here,” said Kit Traub, pro
ducer of the teleconference. A toll-
free number will be provided for
those people who want to address
the panel with any issues they are
concerned about.
‘The teleconference grew out of
a two-year project, done by Univer
sity faculty. Seven task forces were
created to do intense studies on
current issues in Georgia,” Traub
said. The teleconference is de
signed to receive input from the
public.
"It’s basically to get citizens in
volved in discussion of issues, and
let them realize that they can
make a difference. We hope people
will leave the conference inspired
to go out and do something about
Georgia’s issues, problems and op
portunities,” Traub said.
‘The South is romantic and has
a great tradition. We’d like to see
our state prosper.”
The seven panelists will lead the
discussions for an expected audi
ence of 150 people. The audience
will be comprised of students and
Athens citizens.
Members of the panel include:
James Adams, the chair of the
Georgia Agricultural Commodity
Commission; Arthur Dunning, the
vice chancellor for services and mi
nority affairs for the University of
Georgia System; and Juanita
Miller, the president and founder
of Camp RELITSO, which is a vol
unteer tutorial program located in
Valdosta.
Other panel members that will
be participating include Eugene
Odum, the director emeritus of the
University’s Institute of Tech
nology; John Sibley, the executive
director of the Governor’s Devel
opment Council; State Rep. Willou
Smith, from Brunswick; and Otis
White, the editor and publisher of
Georgia Trend magazine.
