QUAKERCAMPUS I Volume LXXIX, Number 4 {< The Voice ofWhittier College Since 1914 i> October 1, 1992 Volleyball Van Overturns Leaving 13 Injured by Adam Webster QC Editor-in-Chief On the way to a match versus Mills College Friday, one of the two vans in which the volleyball team was traveling hit a tire on the freeway causing the van to flip and end up in a ravine injuring 10 Whittierplayers, two assistant coaches and a trainer. The one vehicle accident occurred at 2:30 p.m. when, according to Athletic Director Dave Jacobs, Morgan Bowman, the assistant coach who was driving the van, "was passing a slow moving truck and cut back into the slow lane. She went in at an angle and there was a large truck tire which punctured our tire. The van swerved on the road, flipped at least a couple of times and went down a ravine and landed on its wheels." The passengers of the van were Bowman; Peggy McKinnie, assistant coach; J'Lynn Mathews, student trainer; and players Sarah George, Heather Brandt, Erika Enomoto, Malaika Williams, Ami Lloyd, Ina Hunt, Katie Wilcox, Jennifer Flynn, Chaana Rosenthal and Sabrina Lee. Jacobs said the three most serious injured were Brandt, McKinnie and George, all of whom were taken to San Joaquin General Hospital and treated for cuts and abrasions. Brandt, who was seated in the first row of seats behind the driver, cut the back of her head on the side window and lost a lot of blood, according to Jacobs. At the scene of the accident, she was diagnosed in critical condition, but was stabilized en route to the hospital. She was the only player kept overnight in the hospital for observation and cautionary measurements. She was released on Saturday to her parents who live near the area of the accident. Head coach Sherry Calvert expects her to return to campus sometime next week, at the earliest. Accordingto Jacobs, Brandt was the only passenger, aside from Bowman and McKinnie in the front seat, that was wearing her seatbelt. McKinnie, who was in the Orthogonian Society to Appear in Acropolis by Hector Villegas QC Staff Writer The Orthogonian Society will appear in the yearbok despite last year's controversy over the fact that they are not officially recognized by the College. According to Rob Kessler, last year's editor of the Acropolis, the sanctioned society is included in the yearbook which will be distributed to students next week. "The O's are recognized by the student body, they qualified under the Pub Board and Acropolis standards,"Kevin McGlynn, president ofthe Orthogonian Society said. In June of 1991, the Orthogonian Society was expelled from campus and official school recognition was taken away due to broken rules both on and off campus. In March of last year they requested to be included in the 1991-1992 edition of the Acropolis, an action interpreted by many to be a violation ofthe sanctions. The question at hand was a matter of what "recognition " meant and who held the power to recognize a campus organization, the administration or the student body. Kessler, then editor of the yearbook, decided to adopt a new standard being included in the yearbook.

Junior Deana Shively, who Photo Courtesy of Forrcsl G.Jackson, Jr./Thc Modesto Bee volleyball van is towed from the was in the other van, said that when they came upon the scene, the van had already flipped and was resting in the ravine.

"From there, it was a moment to moment thing about what to do next. I tried not to panic and to make sure everything I could do for them was possible," Calvert said. An ambulance came upon the scene nearly when it happened and Calvert said she felt fortunate that both the EMTs and the Highway Patrolmen Please see INJURED pg. 6 Hockey Club Responds to Concerns by Michele Apostolos QC News Editor In response to concerns about the new hockey club, administrators and members of the hockey club addressed issues of finance, liability and procedure. According to Harold Hewitt, Vice President of Business and Finance, the current issue is that the Hockey Club needs to consult him about liability and other financial issues, such as the contract signed with the ice rink and insurance policies. "As of this point and time, I have not seen liability insurance, medical insurance, and any copy of any contract," Hewitt said. "Questions of contracts, liability, and insurance are extremely complicated issues. There is no one who can use the name Whittier College or Associated Students ofWhittier College (ASWC) in connection with athletics, club sports, the issuence of contracts or in any other capacity that transfers liability to Whittier College without explicit approval (from Hewitt)," Hewitt said. "Club sports connotes the formal sanction of Whittier College," Hewitt said. Hewitt explained that it is his job to watch out for the institution's best interest. Since last week the Hockey Club was informed that in order to be authorized to play this year they must meet six conditions. According to Mike Poutre, one of the club members, the Hockey Club was asked to do the following: 1) To produce minutes from BOG meetings in which the Hockey Club was discussed and information and records on league meetings that members attended, 2) to present the bylaws and regulations of the Pacific Collegiate Hockey Association (PCHA), the league in which the club will be playing, 3) to present all the paper work: including the contract with the ice rink in Norwalk, 4) to find a non-student who is familiar with the game to coach the team, 5) to present a liability insurance policy, and 6) a medical insurance policy. Poutre said the club has met all the conditions except the ones involving insurance.
