A new security booth was erected at 79th Street and Budlong Avenue on Pepperdine's LA campus. The move came after a "mild rash of violence" in the fall 1971 term, including incidents of student harassment. The first impact of the booth was a sudden demand for parking stickers as students felt that parking enforcement was on the rise.1
Among the guards staffing the booth were student officers working for $1.75 per hour (which was 10% above the federal minimum wage).1
The Malibu campus would get its own guard booth late in 1972.2
