UNIVERSITY
OPS says rally videotaping
done to protect students
By Peter Cogswell
Emerald Associate Editor
Students attending a rally
Monday to protest higher tui
tion levels at the University tn
the wake of ballot Measure 5
may have noticed a strange
sight.
They were being videotaped
by the Office of Public Safety.
The decision to videotape
rallies at the University has
been made in order to help pro
tect students from outside,
offcampus groups that some
times get involved in on cam
pus rallies, said Carey Drayton.
OPS director.
Sometimes on-campus and
off-campus groups conflict.
Drayton said, and the videotap
ing will act as a means to deter
off campus groups from coming
to campus and causing a scene
"The whole focus is protec
tion," Drayton said.
He has instituted the video
taping policy at schools he was
employed at previously and
said it was very successful.
Drayton said he had never re
ceived any complaints about
the procedure
Tapes will be reviewed by
Drayton or a member of his
staff after each rally ends. If
there is no confrontation at the
rally, the tap*! will be recorded
over.
Tapes will not be filed away
afti!r each rally. Drayton said
Sheila Stickel. co-president
of the University, said she is
supportive of the videotaping if
it is truly for students' prole* -
tion. but warned that some stu
dents may be skeptical
■‘It's wonderful if it truly is
for students’ protection but a
lot of people might have a hard
time swallowing that." she
said.
Stickel also said she is con
cerned the taping will deter
some students from turning out
for rallies because of a lack of
anonymity.
"At a rally that is a little
more heated (than the one that
took place Tuesday) there is
strength in numbers and this
could possibly deter people
from turning out," she said
Stickel said she noticed tin*
videotaping taking place at the
rally but when she inquired
into why it was being done she
was not given a firm answer
Stickel went on to say the ral
lies are public and that means
that if the Office of Public Safe
ty wants to record them it is
their right to do so.
"It is a public rally and it
would be hard to stop them
from taping." she said
CORRECTION
Tuesday's article on the
tuition-hike rally should
have said tuition and fees for
in state students could ap
proach $1,000 per term hv
1992.
The Emerald regrets the
error, and apologizes for any
confusion it may have
caused
