From The Poly, September 13, 1989

Eddie Knowles, dean of students, recently spoke to freshmen at Student Orientation Continued about Institute policies for unlawful activity on campus.

Although Knowles is satisfied with the 60 percent reduction in campus thefts and the 30 percent reduction in false fire alarms, he wants "this campus to be more safe" and requests freshmen "to take these policies seriously from the start."

Knowles told the freshmen that anyone caught pulling a fire alarm will be fined $100 and will be forced to visit his office—no questions asked.

Emphasizing the Institute’s policy on penalties for theft of equipment, vandalism, and unauthorized entrance to a building, Knowles said, "If that happens, we’re going to play ‘Monopoly’: Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail."
