The Voice Of The Campus Since 1914 Big Brother Watches The Spot and Club CAMPUS SAFETY ► A large committee this summer approved the placement of cameras on campus in an effort to safeguard equipment, students, and staff. by PARUL PATEL QC Asst. News Editor and JED GILCHRIST QC News Editor Four high-tech cameras were installed this summer to enhance security at The Spot and The Club. The cameras were included in the plans for The Spot's construction. Two cameras survey the north and south entrances of The Spot while the other two "cover the cash register and the inside of the DJ booth (in The Club)" Ed Malone, Campus Safety Chief said. The cameras located outside the buildings have the ability to "tilt, pan, and zoom to move around the parking lots," Malone said. The cameras inside the two newly renovated structures have limited features. "The camera in The Club can't swing around, but covers theexpensiveequipment," Malone said. The use of surveillance cameras on college campuses is by no means something new, as several schools in the southland and elsewhere have employed the vigilance technique for years. Jascha Kaykas-Wolff/QC Photo Editor One of four cameras overlooking the area around The Spot and The Club. All activity registered by the cameras is monitored by the Campus Safety department and videotaped 24 hours a day. On the subject of 24-hour surveillance, students seem divided. Senior Roger Hennessey said, "It sounds like a good idea to me," while senior Marcy Holmer commented, "It's pathetic that we can't live in acommunitv where we can trust and be trusted...before we know it, we will be watched and monitored from every angle." "I feel the installation of cameras that function to monitor student life is excessive and insulting," sophomore Alex Weber said. Malone stressed that "those cameras are only in public areas. There are no spy cameras or mon- itoringof hallways." Federal laws do not allow cameras in restrooms or residence hall areas. During the summer, a committee was organized to research various clubs in the Los Angeles area, focusing particular attention on equipment and security features. "The equipment in The Club is better than what you find in most of the clubs in L.A.," Malone said. The College does not have any immediate plans for establishing additional camera locations. With these recent additions, the number of cameras on campus comes to five. The first camera, placed in the computer room of Turner Hall, was installed because of previous experiences with computer thefts in areas such as Wanberg Hall. Due to the layout of then newly constructed Turner Hall, student supervision did not seem enough to deter further pilfering. In the past, the old Spot was burglarized despite the fact that it was equipped with an alarm system. These cameras may be able to curtail or hamper future criminal attempts. Malone said that the basis for camera installation depends upon whether or not there is a need for it. This need is defined in terms of life and property. "The College does not have the money to put them everywhere," Malone added. Any plans for the development of new buildings on campus will include installation of fire and intrusion alarms.
