NAACP chapter gains
recognition at Tarleton
By AMY BURK
Staff Writer
Editors note: This is the seventh in a series of articles
aimed at spotlighting lesser-known clubs and organiza-
tions at Tarleton.
The Tarleton chapter of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
is one of Tarleton's newest student groups. The fo-
cus of the. local chapter is to teach and bring people
together to understand more about' civil rights and
issues involving racial ethnicities.
According to the NAACP Web site, the history
of the national organization is one filled with blood,
sweat and tears. The NAACP has saved lives and
changed many negative aspects of American so-
ciety through the investigations of mob brutality,
protests of mass murders, segregation, and dis-
crimination and by testifying before congressional
committees on the vicious tactics once used to bar
'African Americans from the ballot box.
The Tarleton NAACP chapter was chartered
near the end of the spring semester. The executive
board used the summer to coordinate their group
with the NAACP national organization and the Of-
fice of Student Activities and to decide their direc-
tion at Tarleton. This semester has been the first
active one for the gro'up.
"We haven't done much because we've been so
broke," chapter president Ginayle Leggett, sopho-
more communications major, said. Annual dues
are $15 for students under the age of 21 and $30 for
those 21 and over. All dues are sent to the national
office of the NAACP. Once the campus group has
25 paid members, it will be a nationally-recognized
chapter.

Tarleton police provide
safety, services to campus
By KARA KELTON
Staff Writer
The campus police provide students at Tarleton
more than just "policing." Students may be un-
aware or take for granted the many different pro-
grams and services that the campus police offer.
"I really think that the campus police do a good
job. We are here to help. Every one of the officers
is here for the students, whatever their needs are,"
Nelda Moore, Senior Staff Assistant at the Police
Department, said.
Whether a student needs a valuable item en-
graved or immediate help, the campus police work
hard to make sure those needs are met.
Programs such as R.A.D. (Rape Aggression
Defense) and police escorts are available to help
protect students from potentially dangerous situ-
ations. The R.A.D. program is a self defense class
offered to women several times each semester. The
department offers a night escort service, accessible
to any student who wants to use it. ,
The police patrol the campus af night to pre-
vent vandalism, burglary and help people in dis-
tress. They also do welfare checks, respond to 911
calls and have a designated officer who provides
counseling to crime victims'.
The officers are also involved in social functions
and activities on campus. Extra security is provid-
ed for campus activities and different organizations
can have officers come talk to their groups.
Officers attend Duck Camp and Orientation to
give students information about the department
and help students become aware of the options that
the campus police have to offer..
For further information on the services avail-
able, go by the Campus Police Department or call
254-968-9002.
"We earned some money at the Halloween car-
nival and want to use it for our Rosa Parks anni-
versary celebration next month," Leggett said. The
group plans to have a bake sale and hand outinfor-
mational slips giving students information about
the life and struggles of Rosa Parks. The bake sale
will take place in the Humanities Building on Dec.
1, the 50th anniversary of Parks' "stand (or failure
to do so)" against racial discrimination. •
Next February, the Tarleton NAACP. plans to
host an Open-Mic Poetry Night in coordination
with Black History Month. Everyone, regardless of
color, is invited to attend and bring their original
work or other selected readings they would like
to share. The chapter hopes to host a dance after-
ward. > '
"Some people think the NAACP is just for
blacks, but it was founded by a multi-cultural
group," Leggett said. "Just because you aren't
black doesn't mean you can't come out and help
and learn. The NAACP is known for race issues,
but we want to support school spirit and help and
• support all the students here."
The Tarleton NAACP Chapter's motto reads,
"Supporting school spirit while promoting higher
education."
The group encourages anyone interested in
joining the Tarleton NAACP Chapter to drop by
one of their regular meetings any Tuesday evening
at 7:15 p.m. The meetings take place in room 219
of the uppp: level of the Thompson Student Center.
E-mail reminders are sent to all Tarleton students
on every Monday and Tuesday. Those unable to
attend may e-mail president Ginayle Liggett at
st_gleggett@tarleton,edu to make other arrange-
ments.
