Monday to find answers to
questions which have been of
some concern around campus.
Junior Class President
Jonathan Williams presented a
series of questions to Ed
Hatfield owner of ASP.
Williams asked about the
qualifications required of those
hired by Hatfield. An FBI
background check is made on
prospective employees
Hatfield said. After being hired
random checks are made on the
employee and each goes
through a 60-day training
period after their first 90-120
days on the job.

With all the weddings going
on around Howard Payne this
year a popular campus
landmark may soon be known

with security representatives
Another student concern was
the amount of coverage of the
campus by the security guards.
Hatfield said the contract
between HPU and ASP allows
for one security guard on duty
at a time.
Concerning the question of
campus vandalism Hatfield
mentioned that of the 35
occurrences of vandalism that
had occurred in Brownwood the
preceding night only one was
on our campus.
Hatfield stated that some
vandalism on campus are
results in actions taken by
HPU students. He cited an
incident the preceding night

according to Hatfield.
Hatfield also voiced concern
about students playing pranks
on the security guards making
their jobs more difficult. Dr.
Paul Butler vice president for
student development also
attended the meeting. He
expressed concern regarding the
pranks and asked the security
guards to turn in anyone
causing problems. "We need to
get. to a point where we can
identify and catch these
people."
Hatfield stated that the pranks
were causing the guards to take
time away from patrolling to
deal with students.
Williams concluded that the
reason for the meeting was to
make ASP aware that HPU
students were concerned with
the type of security offered. No
action was taken during the
meeting.
Senate will have its final
meeting of the semester
Monday Dec. 5.
