Freeze: Senior Wayne Westerholm lives double life as student by day and security guard by night Moonlighting as security officers, at least 10 students on the Harding campus patrolled the campus at night. The student workers shared the same responsibilities as the full-time security officers. They rode around in the patrol car and also used the two latest additions to the security patrol, bicycles and a golf cart, looking for would-be offenders. Of course, not just anybody could be a security officer. Lott Tucker, vice president for finance, said that Harding security prefers students who are older and experienced in law enforcement or have previous military experience, such as seniorWayneWesterholm. Westerholm's previous experience consists of time spent in the Army. AlthoughWesterholm and others have had previous experience, they still receive training. Each semester they are required to take an eight-hour course offered through the Searcy Police Department and taught by a certified teacher from an FBI school, which teaches CPR training and informs the students of thei r responsibilities as officers. Working the night shift would seem to pose aproblem for students with several classes and lots of homework. Westerholm admitted that he does have to juggle his time. He is enrolled in nine hours of credit and works about 37 to 40 hours a week as a security officer. The most common violation Westerholm encountered involved curfew. "We have more problems with the guys than the girls. Usually, we catch guys who have gotten out of their dorms after curfew or who are outside messing with cars, " he said. "No matter what the situation, I always assume that the people are going to cause trouble." For the most part, Westerholm found that most offenders, when caught, owned up to the fact that they had broken Harding rules and did not give him a hard time. Although often unseen, nighttime security guards were assets to the campus and the student body as they patrolled in the dark, protecting the campus at night while most were asleep. - Christie Rogers Sheri Bledsoe - Round Rock, Texas.
