Stronger courthouse security renders mixed opinionsBy Jamie Teibel Disagreement is the word of the week at the Tippecanoe County Courthouse. The dispute between Tippecanoe County commissioners and Circuit Court Judge Ronald Melchiar began Monday, continued for about eight hours on Tuesday, and will conclude today, beginning at 8:30 a.m. All who testified on Tuesday disagreed with Judge Melichar and his mandate to reduce access to the courthouse from eight doors, down to one or two. Mrs. Betty Michael, who works in the clerk's office, said that if the security concentrates on one or two entrances, with so many employees, it would take longer for workers to enter the building, therefore starting their day later. Basically, Michael thinks the decision is "asinine." Firefighters, police gather at torch relay
Despite a dark sky and morning showers, approximately 20 firefighters and police officers from Tippecanoe County and the Indiana State Police gathered at 1 p.m. Tuesday on the pedestrian bridge for the World Police and Fire Games Torch Relay. To support the officers, roughly 50 onlookers braved the weather to attend the ceremony. Included in the crowd were West Lafayette Mayor Sonya Margerum, Lafayette mayor Dave Heath and Rep. Sheila Klinker. Programs merge into one office, improves services for studentsThe two Purdue programs, university division and undergraduate studies, designed to help undecided students to determine a major have merged into one office effective last Friday. "Essentially they've done the same thing; one is geared towards newer students and one is geared toward current students. (The merger) seemed to make sense for a variety of reasons," said Tom Robinson, vice president of student services. |
