“Universities tend to be
very good targets,” he said.
“Just the nature of campuses
make them wide open.”
Kroll, Inc. typically ana
lyzes three categories for col
leges, including terrorism,
environmental and location
risks.
A few risks Maurer identi
fied included elements such as
ROTC programs, government
funded research facilities and
locations by railroad tracks.
Maurer stressed that not
every risk could be identified,
but every effort must be made
to realize the major ones.
“The World Trade Center
was probably one of the most
secure buildings in the world ”
he said, “but it wasn’t ready
for an airplane slamming into
the side of it.”
Maurer said that every
establishment , including uni
versities, needs to have an
emergency procedure and
warning plan that will be
effective for the organization
it will be applied to.
“Always plan for Murphy’s
Law,” he said. “If it can go
wrong, it will go wrong.”
Dr. Bill Waugh of the
Georgia State Public
Administration and Urban
Studies said an emergency
plan for a university is a dif
ficult matter because of the
different number of people
involved in the decision.
Waugh said at a large uni
versity, officials would have
to deal with reluctant profes
sors, researchers and perhaps
even students, who may
refuse to evacuate in an
extreme situation.
“Experience shows that if
you issue a warning, compli
ance won’t always be the case,”
he said. “If you give enough
information to people so they
know what’s going on, they
will be less likely to panic.”
Battalion
Continued from page 1
President John Casares said mis
takes in The Battalion have been
unacceptable.
“The Battalion needs to be more
accurate,” said Casares, a senior
management major. “A lot of times
things need to be double-checked.”
Students said the Battalion staff
has been unresponsive to sugges
tions and complaints.
One student said he made four
phone calls to the Battalion that
were never returned and wrote
numerous letters that w$re. not pub-
lished.
“Do not assume your letters
won’t get published,” said Liffick, a
senior journalism major. “Don’t
assume your calls won’t get
returned.”
Several students attending the
forum said they were unhappy with
the coverage their organizations’
events had received from The
Battalion.
Panelist Burke Wilson, Corps of
Cadets public relations officer, said
The Battalion focused too much on
negative issues.
“I want to know what
things students are doing,” sail
Wilson, a senior speech comniur
cations major. “There are positr
things happening on campus, b
they are never on the front page."
Battalion News EditorRolant
Garcia, a senior politcal sciena
major, said The Battalion’s goal
was not to focus on negative issue
and focused on covering issue
vital to the student body.
Battalion adviser Ron Geos
suggested those unhappy with tit
newspaper apply to join the siaf
and tlx the problems they see
“Anyone can apply to work
Tire Battalion,” George said.
Liffick responded to quest®
on the role the paper expects
staff to serve on campus.
“We want our staff to s
you,” Liffick said. “Our main
is to serve the student body.”
George said the Battalion
are not students’ enemy.
“The reporters who work
The Battalion are your fellow stu
dents; they are not out to get you.
George said.
