A University of California chancellor called Wednesday on Bay Area congressional representatives to investigate the government's reported spying at college campus protests, including one in April at UC-Santa Cruz.

``We are greatly concerned about the Pentagon's investigation of a UCSC campus protest of military recruiting last spring,'' UCSC Chancellor Denice Denton wrote in a campus e-mail. ``MSNBC reports that this protest was classified as a `credible threat' by the Department of Defense.''

She called the government's investigation of the campus protest ``a questionable use of military resources,'' adding, ``It is especially disquieting that political dissent would be considered threatening.''

>>>>An eight-page excerpt released by NBC noted monitoring of protests at UC-Berkeley (deemed not a credible threat), planning for a march and rally in Hollywood (not credible) and protests at a San Diego naval facility (credible.)

A Defense Department official was quoted as telling NBC News that all domestic intelligence is ``properly collected.''
