The purpose ofthe activity was to bring society members together in an effort to raise the community's awareness as to the importance of societies and their large presence on campus, according to sophmore Camile Wilson, was one of the organziers. Wilson and Isaura Campos, members ofthe Thalian Society, coordinated Society Recognition Day with the help of representatives from the Athenian, Franklin, Ionian, Lancer, Metaphonian and Orthogonian societies. Campos said that originally, she and Wilson wanted to plan an intersociety protest in response to the administration's decision to take away on-campus society housing, but in a meeting with several society presidents, the group collectively decided to plan an activity that would be more positive. Society members met for lunch at the rock which was painted especially for the event. Some of the members played frisbee and volleyball .A letter written by Wilson, about the event and society members' frustration with not being appreciated by the College, was distributed to President James Ash, Ray Dezember, chairman ofthe Board of Trustees, and deans Dave Leonard, Wendy Furman, Stephen Gothold and Ken Kelly. According to Wilson, she wrote the letter to point out to Please see SOCIETY pg. 4 Seven Tenure-Track Faculty Hired for Next Fall by Adam Webster QC Editor-in-Chief Seven tenure-track faculty have been hired for next fall, and four more one-year positions which will compensate for sabbaticals and other faculty obligations will be added, according to Vice PresidentofAcademicAffairs and Dean of Faculty Wendy Furman. Three ofthe new tenure- track faculty will be filling newly created positions, while four will replace departing faculty. Adjunct professors will fill in for semesters in various departments. Furman described a tenure-track position as a full- time professor who is reviewed after six years, at which time it is decided whether or not the person should be given tenure. One of the main focuses in the hiring process, which fills positions throughout the disciplines offered, was to strengthen the Asian, African and Latin American Civilizations (AALAC) and the European and North American Civilizations pairs programs. "Besides the pair program, we are trying to build the humanities and disciplines that are very, very minimally represented," Furman said. One such department, Furman said, is art history. The College has hired Ria O'Foghludha. In addition to helping current art history professor Paul a Radisich develop a new program in art history, O'Foghludha will teach the earlier periods of the classical arts, such as pre-Colom- bian and Latin American arts.

Between 40 and 80 new work study positions will be needed to meet the expected demands of next year's program, Street said. The increase in the number of people in the program is due to more freshman qualifying for work study and a larger overall student body than this year. One of the reasons more freshman will need work study is because Whittier, for the first time, will limit the amount of gift aid it gives to students. However, this will have no effect on students who are currently receiving Whittier gift Pay Rate Increases for'93-'94 This Yea- Next Year Level One....$4.25 — $4.75 Level Two....$5.25 — $5.75 Level Three. .$6.00 — $6.75 All rates are per hour. Source: Nancy Woods aid, Street said. In order to meet the demands, the committee has decided to increase the pay rates, request supervisors to create more positions and is experimenting with a new program called "Fresh Express." The increased pay rates, which is expected to lower the number of hours a student works by one or two a week, allows students to earn their awarded work study amount faster thus allowing the super visor to hire more people. In addition, Street said that the increase addresses the concern that many students are working too many hours to earn their award and this is detracting from their course work. According to Nancy Woods, director of career planning and placement and a member ofthe committee, the level one pay rate will increase 50 cents to $4.75. The level two pay rate will also increase 50 cents to $5.75. The level three pay rate will increase 75 cents to $6.75 per hour. The committee also decided to increase the number of work study positions. Woods said memos have been sent to all supervisors urging them to develop new work study positions.
