Chancellor Denton asks lawmakers to look into alleged spying at University of California, Santa Cruz

SANTA CRUZ — UC Santa Cruz Chancellor Denice Denton has called on federal elected officials to investigate the alleged secret monitoring on college campuses, including a protest of military recruiters here in the spring.

Denton wrote in a memo sent Wednesday to the campus community, "It is especially disquieting that political dissent would be considered threatening." In the memo, Denton criticized what she called "the expansion of executive power."

Calls and e-mails from Denton went out Wednesday to the offices of U.S. Reps. Sam Farr, D-Carmel; Mike Honda, D-Campbell; Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto; Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose; and California Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer.

2. I guess military recruiters don't like kissing!

In April, military recruiters were pushed out of a job fair at UCSC when a group of 200 student protesters became angry, demanding the recruiters leave.
