| WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON FENCING IN OR ENCLOSING CAMPUS? |
|
"If people wanted to go to school in a fortress, they should have gone to
Yale."
Eric Hewitt Jones '96
"I don't think we're at the point now to where we need to start considering enclosing ourselves off from the rest of Houston. ... I just think we need better police patrols." Chris Washington SRC '99 "That would be totally awful. I mean, we're shut off enough as it is ... I have no sense of Houston at all, all I know is Rice. ... If you fence us off, that would just make us more secluded." Stephanie Taylor Brown '00
"Most other colleges have streets that run through them and so they get a real sense of the culture of the place around them, and Rice doesn't at all. ... We totally don't get the city atmosphere, so we definitely should not have fences to add to that effect." Rebecca Sherman SRC '00 "I think that fencing in the whole campus is probably a bad idea. My sense is that we've done pretty well with security since we got in the gates [at entrances 3 and 4]. I am militantly in favor of the gates ..." Dennis Shirley WRC Master Associate Professor of Education
