Violence at 'Bama frat houses prompts security rule
Violence at 'Bama frat houses prompts security rule
September 20, 2004
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- The University of Alabama is requiring every fraternity to have a trained security guard on duty at parties.
That, after three students were injured in separate violent incidents in one weekend.
In one attack, a student from Tennessee was stabbed in the head.
Twenty-one-year-old Richard "Kirk" Wilder of Signal Mountain was reportedly helping escort two men outside after they crashed at the Sigma Nu fraternity house when it happened.
Wilder has been in a coma since the incident.
Across campus, at about the same time, a student from Atlanta was punched and kicked outside the Pi Kappa Alpha house and a student from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was assaulted outside the Theta Chi house.
Dean of Students Thomas Strong says the guards hired must be trained in security or be off-duty police officers and must be approved by the university.
