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.

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. "We just don't have enough 'Wish Upon a Star' at 1993 Luminarias Some information on alcohol, safe- rides and music at the annual formal at the Disneyland Hotel. by Camille Wilson 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.

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.

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.
