Some one being murdered on campus is sad and insane.
Are there really guardhouses and police checks before you can drive on campus these days? Hard to believe. Have things changed this much? When I was a student, many people did not lock their doors, day or night, unless they were leaving for the weekend or some break. No one ever locked the suite doors, and classrooms were kept open all night, if anyone wanted to go there to study. Part of the beauty of a college campus was that it was such an open place with virtually unlimited access for anyone and everyone. Hell, the local chapter of the Black Panthers was on campus regularly, distributing literature and soliciting contributions, and no one tried to stop them. Parking tickets and the occasional acting up drunk were the biggest problem.
The entrance checkpoints went up around 1997 - they aren't very new.
