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

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

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.

by Michele Apostolos
QC News Editor
After delays due to lack of
liability insurance, the Whittier
College hockey team is now
insured according to all of the

"It (the team) has all forms
of insurance required including
medical for personal injury,
automobile and li ability," Harold
Hewitt, Vice President of

company that was formed in
1985 by Whittier College and
seven other colleges and
universities. Hewitt said the
idea behind the formation of
this company is that it is a less
expensive way to provide
liability coverage.
Hewitt is on the Board of
Directors of the company and
said he had to do "a lot of
negotiations with a bunch of
people" in order for this deal to
go through.
The company agreed to
