Whittier Fan Violates SCIAC Rules;
Ejected From Whittier-Redlands Game
By Julie Amiton
News Editor
Brent Parker, former
Whittier College student, was
ejected by Campus Safety from
the Whittier-Redlands men's
basketball game Saturday
when he refused to move from
the Redlands side of the
bleachers after several
warnings, Ed Malone, Chief of
Campus Safety, said.
According to Malone,
Parker was disrupting
Redlands fans when he sat in
the Redlands section and
cheered for Whittier.
"By sitting in (Redlands')
section, it gets the (Whittier)
side into the game," Parker said.
After several complaints
from spectators, Campus Safety
Officers Joe Pirrelli and Mario
Wibbens approached Parker
and asked him to move to the
Whittier side ofthe gym.
Parker refused to move
because, he said, "I was not
violating SCIAC rules."
According to Dave Jacobs,
Director of Athletics, Parker
was in direct violation of SCIAC
rules.
The SCIAC Ethics and
Conduct Statement, which was
put into effect in the fall of 1990
ensures that "conduct before,

In a Sept. 27, 1990 letter
published in the QC, Jacobs
and Joe Price, Faculty Athletic
Committee Chair, asked fans
to "curb negative,
inappropriate language and
any actions solely intended to
put down opponents and their
fans who are our guests."
Larry Zucker, who
attended the game said,
"whatever the rules are or are
not, he (Parker) was out of line."
After three warnings,
Pirrelli, Wibbens and Lt.
Sommers, who was called in
for assistance, physically
escorted Parker from the
bleachers.
While being escorted out,
"(Parker) resisted slightly,
went limp and then slid to the
floor," Sommers said.
However, Parker said that
he was bumped and then fell,
when "all three officers began
pulling at my legs. They were
treating me as a criminal, and
I was never resisting them."
Following the game,
several Whittier students
gathered outside ofthe Campus
Safety office to file official
complaints stating that the
officers had pushed Parker,
causing him to fall. No
complaint forms have been
returned.
Students Able to Appeal Campus Safety Tickets
By Caitlin Duffy
Managing Editor
Student, faculty and staff
can fight on-campus parking
tickets and moving violations
by attending Campus Safety
"court" on Tuesdays at noon.
Captain Malinda Hall
hears appeals by ticket
recipients and determines
whether fines will be voided,
reduced or paid-in- full.
If a ticket is filled out
incorrectly by em officer or if a
parkingrestriction is not clearly
marked, Hall will often
disregard or reduce parking
ticket fines.
"I listen to students' sides
of the story. I won't
automatically side with the
officer," Hall said.
Moving violations,
however, are"very rarely voided
(and are issued) for safety
reasons," Hall said.
Campus Safety has issued
625 tickets, not including
February tickets, since last
April (when Chief Ed Malone
started at the College).
According to Hall, 'There
isn't a parking problem (on
campus), there is a parking
management problem" which
may cause a surplus of tickets.
The B-Lot (near the
Amphitheater) is "always
empty," Hall said.
"Some students who live on
campus drive to class," Hall said.
"If they would walk instead it
would cut down on tickets and
parking problems."
According to Harold Hewitt,
Vice President of Business and
Finance, the revenue collected
from all parking and moving
violations is put into the
College's general fund and is
used for miscellaneous expenses.
"There are no quotas (for
the amount of tickets issued) so
they aren't tied into a specific
expense," Hewitt said.
"We don't want to offer an
incentive, directly or indirectly,
for Campus Safety to issue a
ticket by putting the money back
into the Department," he said.
"The. purpose of giving
tickets is to enforce safety
regulations, not to financially
benefit Campus Safety," he
added.
Carrie Stuebing, senior, said
that the ticket appeal process is
fair. Afterreceivingtwo parking
tickets in the same day, Stuebing
decided to appeal one of them.
"I parked (illegally) by a door
because I had to carry
something heavy for RA
reasons," Stuebing said. After
explaining this to Hall the
ticket was voided.
The appeal process is "a
good way to be heard," Stuebing
said.
