The UNCG Police Department has the information, and they want you to be aware. They recently published the 2004 calendar year crime statis-tics, which covers activity on the property of and surrounding UNCG. The report releases the number of criminal incidents including sex offense, burglary and aggravated assault. It also provides the number of arrests and referrals of weapons violations, drug violations and liquor law violations. This release is in compliance to the Clery Act, which requires all schools by federal law to publish an annual report that discloses information about campus security and the crime statistics of the past three years. The Clery Act was named in mem-ory of a Jeanne Clery, a college fresh-man at Lehigh University, who was raped and murdered in her dorm room. Her parents discovered that in the previous three years, there had been 38 violent crimes on campus. The school had not disclosed this information to its students. "We're proud that we have very few violent crimes," said Captain Paul Lester. "We're fortunate that major crimes are very rare, and when do have them, we're usually very suc-cessful in solving them." In the past three years, there have been no murders, two incidents of forcible sex offense, five robberies, one act of arson and no hate crimes recorded in the area. "I think it's discouraging to see so many police in such a small area," said Lester. "If I was a criminal, I'd go somewhere else." When the definitions of crimes change, comparing the statistics of different years can be difficult.

PRIDE! members share their ucoming out stories Elliott Laffey Staff Writer On Tuesday, Oct. 4, a lone door stood in a frame near the fountain. It represented the closet door for gay, lesbian, and bisexual students, cele-brating National Coming Out Day. But the door in the frame is a light-hearted representation of a national controversy. Two fronts have emerged since the millennium passed, which were nationally cov-ered in an October issue of Time magazine. The first is the steadily increasing gay youth. Its opposite, mostly a Christian movement, is called the ex-gays. , Ten years ago, they reported, churches closed their doors to the homosexual world. That was their answer to, as UNCG student Matt Hill said, "the epidemic." Today, however, those doors have opened, and arms are widespread. Hill, describing the ex-gay movement, said, "Their ideology is: being gay is not natural, it is a sin, but not an abomination that can't be changed; homosexuals need healing." Hill, 19, is business manager of PRIDE! and in his second year as a history major. He came out to his mother at age 14, in April 2000. Shortly after, he whispered to his friend in class that he was gay.

Upon examining the incidents of burglary, one will notice that there were 121 acts in 2002, 131 acts in 2003 but only 45 acts in 2004. The problem you have is there are different definitions in SO states. This last year, they issued guidelines. It's not necessarily that there are fewer crimes, although we hope that's true," said Chief Roll in Donelson. Because the guidelines are estab-lished by the federal government, some basic crimes, such as larceny, disorderly conduct, and driving while impaired are not included in the report.

People were lined.up like horses at the gate, waiting to race behind these booths, preparing to sing the song that would make or break, their dreams. They were all hoping for that yellow ticket, sending them to the next round of the hit reality TV. show, American Idol. On Monday, Oct. 3, roughly 15,000 people stormed the Greensboro Coliseum Complex to audition for the fifth season of American Idol. Singers were asked to arrive at the door no earlier than 6 a.m. The doors did not open until after 9 a.m. "We didn't get inside until 9:30. So I was there from 6 to 9:30 just wait-ing. It was ridiculous," said junior communications major Ashley Holyfield. Once inside, the singers were divided into sections. Each section was subdivided into groups of four, who would all enter a booth at the same time to sing. "Basically you went up there and sang to two judges who said that they were producers. But, I don't know really who they were," Holyfield said. Senior Morgan Dickey, a student who went to the audition to support friends, disagreed with the audition format. "It should've been done on an indi-vidual basis, instead of going four people in front of two judges," Dickey said. Allison Hecker, a UNCG student who is taking a semester off from school, also had mixed feelings about the producers. "The producers were mean. They didn't smile. They just sat there and nodded at you," Hecker said. After watching the booths for sev-eral hours, Holyfield and Hecker both came to the conclusion that "Booth 2" held the strictest judges. "The entire time we watched, the second booth probably passed like four people. I was like, with my luck I will probably get in Booth 2, and 1 was," Holyfield said, laughing. During her eight-hour wait to sing, Holyfield had the chance to converse with other singers. "You'd go to the bathroom and the girls were singing," Holyfield said. "People were basing their futures on this audition." Continued on page 2 Mi^^M ■OUIMMi
