Lowering of GPA Requirement for COR Positions to be Voted on by Student Body PAfter much debate by members of the Council and concerned students, the decision of whether or not to lower the GPA requirement from 2.5 to 2.0 will be made through a campus-wide vote next week. by JEN SANCHEZ-SALAZAR QC News Editor The entire Whittier College student body will have the opportunity to vote whether the required GPA for members of COR should be lowered to 2.0, or remain at 2.5 for executive positions and 2.2 for all other positions. The election will take place Tuesday, Nov. 1 and Wednesday, Nov. 2. The decision to put the issue to a student-wide vote, rather than deciding it within the COR body, was-.made by the council this Monday after a prolonged discussion. COR Secretary and Chair of the Elections Committee Julie Lippincott opened the issue by making a motion that the question ofthe grade point average requirement be decided in a student election. Among the 16 COR members and "at least 17 observing students mm iy»iiiiip BlsRIlIi Vuk Milojkovic/QC Managing Editor COR Members voted to put the proposed change of the ASWC constitution to a vote by the entire student body. Monday's meeting was highlighted by the largest attendance of a COR meeting by interested students this year. present, a long discussion ensued, organization to "live up to your One student offering his perspective was junior Steven "Wally" Rosales, who expressed disappointment that COR seemed to be "ducking the issue" by suggesting that the student body decide instead of voting, as the governing body had anticipated. In concurrence with Rosales was Adam Webster ('94), who charged the student government names. You are representatives, and the students have entrusted you with the responsibility of making these choices." Both Rosales and Webster argued that COR should "take a stand" and allow students to respond according to that stand. Sophomore Ken Chiu supported the motion to hold a campus- wide election, praising COR for taking a "proactive rather than a reactive" stance by presenting the proposed constitutional amendment to the student body for a vote. Several COR members expressed support of the proposed election, while Representative-At- Large David Fujimoto suggested that by putting the issue to a student vote, COR would be accepting a decision made by "people who are less informed than we are about this issue." After concluding the discussion, COR voted in favor of Lippincott's motion. The motion passed with two members opposed. "It has blown up into a big issue. We need more student input. Even though we are representatives, we didn't have enough information on Monday to vote on this issue/' Lippincott said in an interview regarding the proposed amendment. Commenting on the allegations that COR was backing down by not voting, Lippincott said, "I think it's ridiculous. Just because we had anticipated voting doesn't mean we had to. The election was a much better idea. This is a please see VOTE. pg. 4 STUDENT Student Arrested on Felony Drug Charges Streaker Apprehended Off-Campus by Whittier P.D., Campus Safety by ALEXANDER MACKIE QC Design/Graphics Editor Freshman Douglas Brown was arrested outside his Stauffer Hall room Friday by Whittier police officers on a felony charge of drug possession with the intent to sell after administrators allegedly searched his residence hall room on a tip, according to a Whittier Police Department report.
