QUAKER CAMPUS Volume LXXBL Number 9 V / Novomhor s. 1992 . Volume LXXIX, Number 9 November 5,1992 BOG Decides Petition Signatures Invalid by Michele Apostolos QC News Editor According to BOG President Pro-Temp. Jennifer Kelly, "there is an estimated 40 valid signatures on the petition" requesting a recall vote of ASWC President Kevin McGlynn. To conduct a recall vote 174 signatures are needed . She said the reason only 40 signatures are considered valid is that two petitions were passed around, each having a statement of purpose on the front page only. Kelly said there are several signatures on pages that have nothing at the top. BOG determined the signatures were not valid at a closed BOG meeting Monday night, Kelly said. McGlynn was not present at this meeting because he and the BOG members felt it would not be appropriate for him to be there. BOG decided to request that petitioners junior Michelle Fischler and senior Anne Massey recollect the signatures that appeared on those pages. BOG's main concern according to Kelly is that the signatures are underneath a statement of purpose . Kelly said BOG did not specify exactly how they should verify the signatures, but she said BOG came up with a variety of ways they could do it. Kelly said one way to do it would be to put a piece of paper with the statement of purpose in the boxes of the individuals who signed the petition and to have them sign and return it. BOG is willing to pay for any expenses incured in doing this. She said there does not have to be the same people signing it again, as long as there are enough valid signatures. BOG has yet to formally present Massey and Fischler with a request to recollect the signatures. Kelly and Off-Campus Representative Dave Jarvis will meet with them today along with Dave Leonard, who has replaced Please see BOG pg. 6 Orthogonians Reinstated After Serving Half of Their Three Year Sanction, the Orthogonian Society Has Been Granted Official Status by the Society Advisory Board by Adam Webster QC Editor-in-Chief After serving one-and-a- half years of a three-year sanction for various violations, the Orthogonian Society was reinstated Friday by the Society Advisory Board. According to Steve Gothol d, Dean of College Life, "The Orthogonians have been granted probationary reinstatement ... they may have meetings and a new member class in January." College President James Ash said, 'The (Orthogonians) are still under probation and under a very strict set of restriction of conforming to the letter and the spirit of the college." One such condition is that the society must conduct all activities, including meetings, with one of its alumni advisors or its faculty advisor present, Gothold said. The appointment of a faculty advisor was one ofthe original sanction stipulations and the Orthogonians have named Whittier political science professor John Neu as theirs. Gothold said he could not an A* ■.,.;• ■■ ■«r «te ■B eee||IIbb|;#beeb:b E:Bif :0| ipf ■■Hi 3fev imnmj§|i John Young/QC Staff Photographer Members of the Society in front of the "0 Ranch." release the other stipulations. However, he did comment that the conditions were recommendations from his office to the SAB and that the SAB amended those as per its discussion Friday. Gothold added that the reinstatement was "all being done because of the exemplary work of three alumni, all from the '70s." The three alumni were Ken Brooks, Gino Gaudio and Dan Macaulay. The alumni researched the history of the society and came up with the original ideals and original pledging program, according to Gothold. They researched the state hazing statutes and Ash said, 'These reforms change the initiation process in ways that produce conformity with the law and with the educational values of the college, while at the same time, they preserve the central values and heritage of the Orthogonian society." Orthogonian President Kevin McGlynn agreed that the support ofthe alumni the society received was beneficial.
