Perhaps it's the danger inherent in a thousand people, many of whom will be heavily inebriated, running around a 60-foot inferno, or maybe it's the inconvenience of a handful of them, also heavily inebriated, rushing the football field at halftime; whatever the reason, Safety and Security will be taking extra precautions this Homecoming weekend. A combination of Homecoming's bonfire, football game, influx of alumni and multitude of social gatherings involving alcohol account for the weekend's greater need for Safety and Security, College Proctor Harry Kinne said, whether the officers are needed for alcohol related-instances or a simple medical call. Because of this, Kinne stated that Safety and Security will increase the number of patrols on campus as well as the number of officers working throughout the weekend. "It's clearly one of our busier weekends of the year," Kinne said.
