Societies Gather to
Show Strength, Size
by Alec Mackie and
Michelle Velasquez
QC Staff Writers
Eight of the nine campus
societies participated in Society
Recognition Day, an event held
yesterday afternoon in the lower
quad. 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

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.
O'Foghludha, who re-

Work Study Expected to Expand:
Pay Rates, Jobs to Increase
by Alec Mackie
QC News Editor
With the expectation that
there will be more students in
need of work study next year,
the Student Employment Approval Team decided earlier this
semester to take steps to alleviate the problem, according to
Kathy Street, chair ofthe committee.
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

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.
"We are asking them (supervisors) to be creative," Street
said. "The faculty have expressed an interest (in creating
new positions), as enrollment
has increased and they are look-
