Security Relations
The Department of Security of the
University is making an effort to improve
its relations with students.
According to Mr. Rea Houchens, Chief
of the Security Force, student-Security
Department relations have degenerated
markedly since he founded the
department in 1949.
However, Mr. Houchens says that
there now exists an upward trend,
perhaps due to the latest efforts of the
Security force to improve relations.
Among these efforts are the three
Graves Mountain conferences, which took
place in August, October, and November
of this year. At the conferences groups of
about thirty Security officers, students,
faculty, and administrators openly
discussed Security-related problems in a
convivial, enjoyable atmosphere.
The Department is also planning to
meet students individually over coffee in
the Glass Hat and the Castle, beginning
this week. Question and answer sessions
involving various student groups such as
the First Year Council and the Executive
Committee of Counselors have also been
instituted.
