Police went student help
in snowball fight control
Planning a snowball fight? Chances
are Campus Police will find out about
it before it starts.
According to Gail Gade, director of
Campus Police, he usually hears about
organized , snowball fights. Police
procedure is to talk to the organizers,
if they know who they are, and warn
them about the possibilities of
property damage and injuries. Gade
said if a fraternity is involved, he asks
the officers of the fraternity to assist
campus police in calming things down.
"Use the PE fields if you have to
have a fight," Gade said. "
Too late
"Ordinarily, we'll hear about it.
We've been successful in the past at
stopping them. Last time it- was too
late. We found out about it at 8:30
and we started looking into it. 11:30
rolled around before we got going and
by that time it had already started,"
Gade said.
Campus Police won't arrest anyone
unless there is property damage or
personal injury. If the snowball fight is
on a city street, Lincoln police are
called in. Campus security and Lincoln
police coordinate their efforts, Gade
said.

said, "Even though 16th Street is a
city street; we won't go in unless we're
called by a guy whose car window's
been busted. Then we would
investigate." x
In last week's snowball fight, only
university property was damaged and
police received no other complaints. In
such cases, Lincoln police will divert
traffic around the snow fighters.
, 'Only if it snows'
Miller said police expect snowball
fights in the winter, "only if it snows."
"We allow university students to
have their snowball fights. It'd be the
same if it happened at Northeast, or
anywhere else in the city, as long as
there's no property damage. We don't '
hesitate to investigate a property
damage offense."
Arrests at last week's snowball fight
occured because individuals failed to
cooperate with police requests, not
because of any offenses related to the
fight.
"Anytime police become involved
with a crowd in a situation when laws
aren't being broken," Miller said,
"police tend to antagonize a small per
cent of .the crowd. Say 5 per cent. If
this small 5 per cent throw snowballs
at the police, well, it's a follow the
leader type thing."
