If you need a Macintosh*

And you’ll have a Macintosh

that. So stop by and pick up
an application.
But do it now, before the
term’s over.

Lazer Tag gun for war.

I-azer Tag players bumping and
setting off a late-night burglar
alarm.
"We go out there thinking a
crime's being committed, bur
glars might carry guns," Mc
Kee said. “We're going around
a corner and out pops a guy
holding a gun .... If a guy drops
down on you with a gun and
he's got this fierce look in his
eyes because he thinks he's
shooting his buddy, but he's
actually shooting a cop, we've
got the potential for an acci
dent," McKee said.
McKee said another scenario,
an armed civilian investigating
shadowy figures brandishing
weapons, concerns him even
more.
"At least the police are pre
dictable," McKee said. “You
know what they're going to do.
The people you have to worry
about are the NRA, gun-toting
citizens.
"Some citizen is going to sec
some activity outside his
house, maybe it resembles
some crime activity they've
been experiencing in their
neighborhood." he said. "If a
l.azer Tag player turns around
with a gun in his hand, you
have the definite possibility of
an armed confrontation taking
place."
Eric Neustadter, a University
sophomore, is a member of an
informal Lazer Tag group that
fights its make-believe skir
mishes anywhere from the
KMLJ to the University Library
Saturday nights. He said his
group has never had any of the
problems the police are con
cerned about.
"People who walk by. if they
see us, they just go, 'Oh, Lazer
Tag,"’ he said, “We've never
had any instances where peo
ple thought they were being
shot at or anything. It's pretty
hard when you're playing
Lazer Tag to be involved in
mass destruction."
Neustadter said his group
usually numbers about 30 or 40
people, all just out to have a
good time on a Saturday night.
"With that many people it
get's real interesting," he said.
"It's usually just a free-for-all.
It's not set rules. I mean, there
are rules, hut there's no set
goal. It’s just go out and kill."
McKee said that although he
realizes the game is probably
more enjoyable in the dark and
in settings such as the areas fa
vored by l.azer Tag players, he
would like to see designated
areas for players to avoid po
tentially dangerous encounters
between them and police and
citizens.
He added that aside from the
confusion, relations between
players and officers have been
pleasant.
"If we could just have the co
operation from the people in
volved as to when they're play
ing we could probably avoid
any problems," McKee said.
Suzie Hunter, crime preven
tion officer for OPS, said l.azer
Tag players should contact
Campus security and KPD about
where and when games will be
played, and added the Pioneer
Cemetery is off-limits after dark
and trespassers face the prob
ability of being cited for tres
passing.

as we would if something hap
