LETTERS Oaf control I have been planning for sonic time to write a letter about the security crew con tracted by the athletic depart ment. and the recent letters to the Emerald [ODE. Nov H) have convinced me that it's high time! Those rude, thoughtless folks were contracted, as I under stand it. in response to rowdi ness at last year's football games 'The most unfortunate result of the whole mess is that these blue-coated oafs were used to "control" the crowds at last spring's track meets. They replaced a crew of older folks who were friendly and effi cient. It's important to note that fans at track meets are not row dy In fact, a cheerful, friendly, family atmosphere prevails at every meet. This past spring the new se curity crew managed to ruin al most everyone’s fun at the meets They approached each meet like gestapo. They were surly and rude They carried some rules to silly extremes like not allowing an athlete to go sit with his parents, even though the stands were almost empty They clearly weren't track fans, and their actions showed that they had no appreciation of proper behavior at track meets, for example, they often stood in front of the stands, blocking people's view Their behavior at each meet was in ept and heavy-handed. I strong ly recommend that they not be used at any more track meets |im Lung (iheinistry A Grand • Finale } For Any Evening...
