QUAKERCAMPUS Volume LXXIX. Number 22 ^^■■■■■■■■■iMBBMBHMBBBr/^ A .j * 1993 Volume LXXIX, Number 22 April 1, 1993 Campus Inn To Be Run by Fast Food Chain Next Year by Camille Wilson QC Assistant News Editor Starting next semester, the food served in the Campus Inn will be catered by the Jack in the Box fast food chain. The decision was announced late Wednesday afternoon and according to the Director of Campus Food Distribution, this choice was made in response to the overwhelming request by students to have greater variety in the Campus Inn menu. The director said Whittier College will be the first institution of higher learning to establish such a cooperative relationship with a fast food corporation. "I believe it is the wave of the future and the College is setting a trend," he said. Although the College chose to begin serving fast food to fulfill the requests of the students, so far student response to the new decision has been mixed. Junior Rob Warmuth, said, Tm appalled! I think having the CI food catered by a fast food place is a great idea but I would prefer the food be from Subway. Students should have been consulted before the College chose which restaurant they were going to use." He added, "Subway's food is healthier and I love their fresh baked bread, but it's not that big of a deal because I will eat whatever Grandma serves me." Junior Gus Lua stated, "I think students will be much happier with the Jack in the Box food. The CI food isn't that bad but I've had better in my lifetime." Lua added, "If it was up to me I would have chosen In and Out to cater the CI because their cheeseburgers are my favorite, but I'm looking forward to feasting on Jack in the Box's supertacos. According to the Campus Representative from Jack in the Box, Sterling Smith, the food chain was elated when the College called them. "After the recent tragic death of a Jack in the Box customer, our business has suffered greatly. It is great to know that Whittier College trusts us with their students' lives," Smith said. Smith also said there has been concern about the nutrition ofthe restaurant's food. He said, "I want students to know that we serve a great deal more than burgers and fries. Jack in the Box also serves an array of other foods." "... it's not that big of a deal because I will eat whatever Grandma serves me." — Rob Warmuth junior According to the Student Services, the new fast food catering service will not raise the food costs to students. Depending on the success of the new food service, the student cost may be drastically reduced in the Spring of 1994. Besides the food content, little in the CI is expected to change. There may be the addition of full color posters of Jack in the Box entres and meal deals, but the natural ambience and atmosphere of the CI will be left undisturbed. The CI staff will undergo intense training sessions during the summer to become acquainted with Jack in the Box's food preparation techniques and they will be receiving bright, baby blue uniforms in the Fall. Ash Joins Circus Whittier College President James L. Ash Jr. is expected to announce today that he will step down as president in order to pursue an offer by the World Circus Organization. by Bob Woodward QC Staff Writer President James L. Ash Jr. is expected to announce today that he will step down as president ofthe College in order to accept an offer to become the chief executive officer of the World Circus Organization. According to sources close to the president, Ash was offered the position at the world famous circus organization three months ago, but decided to keep the deal a secret until a suitable replacement could be found. Sources also say that Ash has always had a secret desire to pursue a life in the circus. According to one source, it is a "childhood dream." The Board of Trustees decided last month when Ash announced his decision, that emergency steps were needed to find a replacement and formulate a plan dealing with the situation. However, Ash was not the only administrator to announce his resignation at the meeting. In addition to Ash, all four vice presidents announced their decision to step down, citing concerns over the future of the college under another president. According to one source, the Board of Trustees considered many possible candidates for the position, including distinguished alumnus Kevin McGlynn. Other alleged appointments, according to sources, include the Whittier College hockey team to replace Harold Hewitt, the vice president of budget and finance. "The team's recent experience with money should make them well suited for dealing with the college's money. Let us just hope they have learned their lesson," said one source. The QC has also learned that the Board of Trustees is considering appointing the Whittier College football team to replace Wendy Furman, the interim vice president of academic affairs. As the vice-president of student life, the Board of Trustees is considering trying a rotating system where each of the nine societies recognized by the school will run the office. This is expected to increase the social atmosphere of the campus. Ash 1 iFs*"* File Photo Sources say the Lancer society may be the first society in the position, and if so, Mona Kai is expected to be a semester long, $1 million dollar affair. As the new vice president of development and public relations, the board considered appointing the QC or the yearbook,citing their experience with publishing and selling. However, concerns were raised by the board members that the QC would never get the material out on time and would somehow try to make it controversial. Concerns were also raised that the yearbook staff might spend double the amount of money they raise. Noofficial announcementis expected for a month from the Board on who will replace Ash. Dream Come True: Societies to Control Halls by Carl Bernstein QC Staff Writer In contradiction to previous policy, the administration has decided to allow Whittier College societies the use of residence halls as their houses. According to one source, the reason for this policy change is the recent announcement by president James Ash Jr. that he will not continue as president. Without Ash, the Office of Residence Hall Living is expected to begin planning for an all society residence hall. Although the hall will not be available to the societies for the '93-'94 school year, the office is expected to offer the option in the next room draw. In addition, both the noise and alcohol policy will be waived in order to facilitate a better social atmosphere and better neighborhood relations. The rest of the halls, accordingto sources, willbe turned into theme floors, similar to this year's substance-free and multicultural floors, for those students not in a society. Some suggested floors include a substance floor, where everything is legal, a co-ed floor (by room) and of course the academic floor (for those who never go to class). r What's Inside: A Useless Guide to the Quaker Campus News For The Record Absolutely nothing on this page is factual.
