According to Walter Stevens, Director of the University's Depart- ment of Safety, the pictures were taken for "security" reasons." City and 'U' security tight at protest I By AMY SALTZMAN As student protesters entered the Regents meeting Thursday-their mouths gagged in silent protest-a con- tingent of University security officials and Ann Arbor police stood on guard in case of a violent outburst. Despite prior assurance from Washtenaw County Coalition Against Apartheid (WCCAA) members that the demonstration over the South African divestment issue would remain peaceful, University and city security measures were tight at the meeting in the Michigan Union Ballroom. ALTHOUGH CAPTAIN Kenneth Klinge of the Ann Arbor Police Depar- tment would not give a figure as to the number of officers on hand for the demonstration, approximately 15 to 20 policemen clad in riot gear were obser- ved in a small room to the side of the ballroom-hidden from the public's view. Klinge would not comment on the secretive placement of these officers. There were also eight University security guards at yesterday's meeting, according to Walter Stevens, the Director of the University's Depar- tment of Safety. "WE HAVE TAKEN precautions, but we don't anticipate any problems. We're not here to hassle people," Stevens said. Although both Stevens. and Klinge described thesecuritysmeasures as routine for a demonstration such as Thursday's a number of observers found the conspicuous presence of "police" photographers' particularly disconcerting. The photographers stood on a balcony above the ballroom, snapping pictures of protesters throughout the meeting. Stevens initially said the photographers were all from the media, but later retracted that statement. "They're probably police up there. It's a protec- tion thing," he said. KLINGE LATER confirmed that the photographers were from the Ann Arbor Police Department, and that the demonstration was also being videotaped. WCCAA members took extreme precuations to guard against any type of violent eruptions and conferred with security officials over the possibility of such an outbreak. "It was important that they (security officials) knew ahead of time that we weren't going to cause any violence. We didn't want to be locked out of Fridr's meeting," said WCCAA member, F - I Hattis. Despite these assui ances, Dave Foulke, manager of security services in the Housing Office, said "a lot of plan- ning was done earlier in the week to avoid physical confrontation." Such a confrontation occurred at the Regents meeting demonstration last month, where two student proatesters were arrested. 201 E.
