QUAKER CAMPUS blume LXXVII, Number 23 ' April 11,1991 Volume LXXVII, Number 23 April 11,1991 Four Band Concert Shut Down by Police, Security By Anthony M. Navarrete QC Staff Writer A rock concert costing the Whittier students nearly $4,000, was shut down Friday, by orders of the Whittier Police Department due to complaints of excessive noise. The concert, which was held in the Amphitheater, ended between 9:09 and 9:15 p.m., according to Harold Malone, Director of Security, after campus security received of phone call from the Whittier Police ordering that the concert be shut down or or the police would begin making arrests. According to Malone, campus security received seven complaints of noise between 7:45 and 8:50 p.m. Malone said that on two occasions, the person running the sound equipment was told to turn down the volume. The first time, the soundperson proceeded to turn down the volume. The second time, Malone approached the soundperson, and told him to lower the volume, only to find that the volume was turned down as low as possible. The concert itself had only gotten through the second band of a four band bill, when it was stopped. It was originally scheduled to feature the bands Crash Barbie, Christy McCool, the Epilogue, and Celebrity Skin. The first band got through its first set, and the second band finished about four songs before the show was shut down. The Epilogue, which traveled from Albuquerque, New Mexico to perform, and Celebrity Skin, never got on stage. Because no official announcement was made to the crowd, few students realized that the police department had initiated the shut down. Malone said that it was not until the call came in from the police, that he felt he had no other recourse than to comply with police department's wishes and shut down the show immediately. By the time two Whittier Police Department squad cars pulled into the Amphitheater parking lot, at approximately 9:15 pm, the music had already stopped. Malone said that when the police officers saw this, they left the area, never having left their vehicles. Sophomore Jason Bates, who promoted and planned the event said that he was not contacted about the complaints of noise, until the very end when he said Malone told him "this is going to end or you and the band are going to be arrested." Bates said that he asked Malone if the concert could proceed, if the volume was lowered but Malone refused. Bates said that he "never heard about any [noise] compl aints, or I would have done something about them." According to Bates, when the police arrived, he wanted to talk to them to see if any compromises couldbe made, but when he informed Malone this, Please see CONCERT page 4.
