While perusing through my favourite anti-pc, at times down-right sick cartoonists page, I stumbled across many a cartoon which made me chuckle (muttley style for anyone who has witnessed this). Unfortunately for you guys, most of them I find a bit too audacious for this here space.
But-all is not lost! An article in the Oppidan press this week entitled "Sleeping on Service" highlighted that some of the security guards on campus are sleeping on the night shift. THE NIGHT SHIFT, PEOPLE! Night, where things are dark and creepy and things dissappear, like your wallet, or worse, your dignity at the Rat. Yes.
To be fair to those at the CPU call centre- Of all the times that I have relied on them, they have been there. These guys are literally one call away, no matter what hour of the night. I am sure many bear testament to the fact that if you need an escort, they are more than happy to walk you safely back to your res. This is invaluable in light of the increasing rape and mugging cases on our campus.
That is not to say that the article does not hold any merit. On the contrary. Investigation was done on the guards stationed at various checkpoints on campus - and the findings were less than comforting. These are the hours where we would potentially need the most protection. It is not fair for our security to be compromised-especially not because some did not get enough shut eye. Do your job, and do it properly.
