Hockey Club members decide not to
finish season in order to pay $2,990 debt.
However, they plan to return next year.
by Alec Mackie
QC News Editor
Members of the Whittier
College Hockey Club decided
last week to cancel all future
games and discontinue the season due to budget and participation problems, according to
head coach Chris Roy.
On Sunday, Feb. 28, the
team's situation was explained
at the league meeting of the
Pacific Collegiate Hockey Association.
The coaches passed a motion which made all games
played by the club, founded in
September, null and void, but
the players will be allowed to
keep statistics, Roy said.

'Wish Upon a Star'
at 1993 Luminarias
Some information on alcohol, safe-
rides and music at the annual
formal at the Disneyland Hotel.

QC Assistant News Editor
Luminarias, the college's
annual ball, will be held this
Saturday at the Disneyland
Hotel in Anaheim from 7 p.m.
to 1 a.m. 197 couples are expected to attend, accordingto
senior Shanta Yocum.
This year's theme
is'WishUpon a Star." Yocum,
organizer of Luminarias,
said it was chosen because it
is less dramatic then the
themes of previous years. "I
wanted something that was
lighter and more fun," she
said.
Though the Disneyland
Hotel was not selected because of its famous name,
Yocum is hopingit will create
a more enjoyable atmosphere.
She noted that many people
have made plans to go to
Disneyland the next day.
"I'm really excited that
some people are planning to
make a weekend out of
Luminarias," she said.
Due to the distance of
the hotel, transportation will
be provided to interested students to prevent the occurrence of drunk driving and
accommodate students who
do not drive at all, according
to Yocum.
Hot Dogger tour buses
will pick up students from
the Philadelphia House and
take them to and from
Luminarias.
"It i s al way s good to h ave
some kind of safe-ride option.
In the past I think some
people did not feel comfortable using safe-ride services,
but this way (using Hot
Dogger buses) it'does not con-

guys," Roy said. "(The players)
decided to kill the rest of the
games."
However, according to
HoangDiem Hau, as of Wednesday afternoon the club still has
to pay the $2,990.37 to the College.
New Hockey Club President
junior Brendan Carty said the
club will be able to pay the deficit, but cannot continue their
season or practices.
Roy said the $1,000 security deposit at Glacial Gardens
and the $1,500 to $1,900 left in
dues will cover the deficit.
Ken Kelly, the advisor of
the Hockey Club, said the club
is no longer operating and that
its business records are being
neutrally audited.

Senior Mike Poutre, who
was in charge of the hockey
club account, said, "Part ofthe
problems we had was partly
me not keeping track of the
records. But the figures I re

keep good enough records to know
they were incorrect.

better financial records," he
added. "I just didn't have the

Publications Board Revises
Budgets After Debt is Discovered
by Alec Mackie
QC News Editor
The College's Publications
Board revised its overall budget last week after it was determined the board owed
$20,919.31, according to members of the Publications Board.
There is an outstanding
bill on the 1992 yearbook for
$15,184.39 due to Herff Jones,
the publisher, according to
sophomore Eric Aitken, the
yearbook editor.
The board, which oversees
and allocates funds for all student publications, also has a
$5,7460.05 budget deficit
which carried over from last
year.
According to Dave
Leonard, associate dean of residential life and publications
board member, the bill to Herff
Jones will be paid in full in the
near future.
However, according to
Aitken, roughly $5,000 will be
left for the 1993-94 Publications Board to pay.
According to a report on
the deficit submitted by QC
Managing Editor and Publications Board member Marce
Scarbrough the 1992 yearbook
was budgeted $27,285.31 and
spent $41,087.65.
However, according to alum
Rob Kessler, the 1992 yearbook
editor, $10,000 was to come out
of the 1993 yearbook budget.
However, over the summer, BOG
thought it was due and they paid
it out ofthe 1992 budget.
'The debt exists because of
the way the previous year's yearbook was paid," Kessler said.
"Every yearbook has had to deal
with this. It is a really bad budget practice."
Accordi ng to Herff Jones Rep-
resentative John McKinney,
$2,478 of the bill was for six
missed deadlines last year.
"We had people flake on us,"
McKinney said, "causing the price
to be four times more expensive."
McKinney said that this is
the standard for the industry in
working with missed deadlines.
McKinney added that the staff
also added some items to what
was originally contracted.
According to McKinney, the
staff decided to use F.nroeloss
paper at a cost of $1,152, as well
as using an expensive process
for the cover, he said.
McKinney said all of these
changes and their costs were
approved by the editor, the staff
and the advisor.
McKinney explained that
the school chose to pay in three
installments. The first was due
in April, the second in July.
These account for 60 percent of
the total cost, he said.
The final bill comes in September when the book is delivered. In this case it was
$15,184.39.
It is this bill that is paid out
of the following year's account.
However, this is normal procedure for insuring the company
delivers the book by withholding a part of the total, Aitken
said.
Aitken also said that this
year's yearbook staff is working
within a very tight budget.
However, Aitken said the
yearbook will still be a quality
production; however, it will not
be the same type of yearbook as
the last two.
