Food can stay but jewelry no way
By MICHAEL W. McLEOD
Staff Writer
The hot dogs and popsicles can
stay, but AT&T ana tne jewelry
must go.
This is the recommendation
the Public Safety Committee will
make to Athens City Council Oct.
4, concerning the proposed ban of
vendors on Baldwin Street.
The committee decided
Tuesday night to recommend
that the city allow only food ven
dors on Baldwin Street. The com
mittee further recommended that
the city develop regulations to
govern the size and location of
the vendors’ stands.
Director of Business Services
Joseph Broadhurst said at the
meeting he supports the ban.
“I want to make it very clear the
University is still concerned with
Baldwin Street safety,” he said.
“Many of you say I don’t see
people out in the street; well, I
didn’t bring them with me to
night, but I’ve got a pocket full of
pictures that would document
people being pushed out into the
roadway because of vendor ac
tivity.”
Tim Kline, a graduate English
student who went to the meeting
to show support for the vendors,
said he dislikes seeing “the little
guy picked on.”
“In a way I was looking for a
compromise, because that’s the
way law work gets down,” he
said. “But I would’ve liked to see
everyone subjected to size restric
tions.”
The other student who showed
up, Todd King, a senior finance
major and former Student Affairs
_
John Gundaker: Owner of the hot dog stand on the corner
of Baldwin and Sanford serves student Curry Verner
president, agreed.
“It’s not the normal guys you
see there everyday who are
causing the problem, it’s the ones
who are only in town for a few
days,” he said.
Kline said he was astonished
that more students were not at
the meeting.
Nancy Law, vice president of
Campus Dimensions, an organi
zation responsible for the AT&T
table on .Baldwin Street this
week, said, “A ban would be un
fortunate because we provide a
service to the students.”
Tim and Virginia Gundaker,
owners of the hot dog stand on
the corner of Baldwin and San
ford Streets, also spoke to the
committee defending the ven
dors.
Parents show more concern with
local security after Fla. slayings
By CHRISTOPHER GRIMES
Staff Writer
Although University Police
aren’t sensing any fear as a result
of the Gainesville, Fla. murders,
some apartment complexes around
campus have seen an increase in
security concerns.
“I don’t think this thing in Gai
nesville is going to make people
more aware of security in Athens,”
said University Police Chief Chuck
Horton. “Fear is not a good mech
anism to change behavior — it’s
only short-lived.
“From what I can tell, even in
Gainesville, they’re going back to
classes and going about with their
business,” Horton said. “When
you’re dealing with young people,
it always happens to someone
else.”
Horton said University Police
haven’t adapted their services
since the slayings of five Gaines
ville students this summer.
“We started increasing our foot
patrols, we started call boxes and
the escort service and started bike
patrols long before the incidents in
Gainesville,” he said.
But leasing agents at several off-
campus apartment complexes said
at least a few students and parents
have expressed concerns about se
curity.
“We’ve had a lot more concern
since the incidents in Gainesville,”
said Elaine Stephens, property
manager .at College Park apart
ments. “We’ve had some residents
ask if they could install deadbolt
locks.”
At Sussex Club Apartments,
parents and students have asked if
they could install locks and wire
less security systems.
“It’s been a big concern,” said
Duana Lankford, a leasing agent
at Sussex Club. “They’ve expressed
a lot of concern about locks on
doors, things like that. Several
have installed security systems,”
she said.
People have been very
concerned, but it’s
mostly been moms.
And Meg Maslyk, a leasing
agent at College Place apartments,
said the concern about safety has
been mostly from mothers of stu
dents signing their first leases.
“People have been very con
cerned, but it’s mostly been moms
rather than the students,” she
said.
She said College Place has been
encouraging new residents to in
stall deadbolt locks or security sys
tems. •
"We’ve told them they’re wel
come to do that should they want
to, and some in the complex have
installed them,” Maslyk said.
Tommy Crawford, who installs
security systems for Ackerman Se
curity, said he hasn’t seen a notice
able increase in sales since the
Gainesville slayings.
“We thought it would boom, but
it really hasn’t,” he said. “We’ve
put some (systems) in, but no more
than we usually do this time of
year.”
