Volume LXXVI, Number 20 y^^^^^^^^^^^^^^g^^ April 26, 1990 The Voice of Whittier College Since 1914 McManus Upset By Program Board Giving $400 To Pro-Choice Group By Jennifer Buddemeyer QC Staff Writer Students Organizing Students (SOS), a new club on campus which advocates the legality of abortions will receive $400 from Program Board on April 20 in order to fund an upcoming event, an action which ASWC president Paul McManus feels is an inappropriate use of ASWC funds. "You can't justify giving money to either a pro-choice or pro-life group when it is such a devisive issue among the student body and it would anger opposing groups," McManus said. "It is all the student's money." However, Kandis West, head of Program Board, said that Program Board's doors are open to both pro-life and prochoice groups. SOS, which was officially recognized by the administration as a "pro-choice" organization in late February, will use die money to finance a pro-choice educational cabaret entitled "Indecent Exposure", according to sophomore Juliette Blye, the group's contact. "We have not given [the money] to them yet," said Kandis West, head of Program Board. "There's paperwork we have to do, but essentially we are giving them the money." This the first time that Program Board has been approached for money by a group intending to use it to finance activist activities concerning the controversial issue of abortion. "We really discussed it [giving SOS the money] because we thought it might offend people," said West. "But we decided that we've never shut our doors to anyone and that if a pro-life group came and asked us for money, we would give them it too." SOS is an officially sanctioned club on campus, a fact verified by- Dick Archer, dean of College Life, who is in favor of open college debates. "All ideas on a college campus should be able to be presented and debated," Archer said, "and [the pro-choice/pro-life] debate is one of the more important issues relating to our lives today." Presently there is no pro-life group on campus, and the Whittier College Bepublican Club has not taken a stance on the matter. "Personally, I don't feel that the school should be giving money to an organization that advocates to terminate another human life," said Bob Cioe, vice chairman of the Whittier College Bepublican Club. "However, members of the Bepublican party has different views on this. My view is not necessasarily that of Whittier College republicans. There are those of us who may happen to agree with what SOS is doing." Blye said that SOS also plans to ask the American Association Please see SOS page 3 Ash Announces Process For Hiring Next Year's Dean of College Life By Chris Perkins QC Managing Editor Whittier College president James Ash unveiled the process which will be followed in choosing next year's dean of College Life from among the college's tenured faculty, at Sunday's Board of Governors meeting. He also introduced two changes in the way student services will be administered next year. Ash said the position will be filled internally instead of by an outside professional, as had been requested in a BOG agenda to the president, in part because the search for a professional would take too long. "A candidate for the position should be a good administrator, a good organizer, and someone that students can relate to," Ash commented. He said that the faculty member chosen as dean would probably maintain a limited teaching load. The position of Dean of College Life will be a three-year appointment. A committee made up of five administrators, four professors, and two students is expected to make the final decision in the next three weeks, Ash said. Nominations from the campus community are currently being accepted at the office of the dean of Facultv. Deliber.ations by the committee will be closed to the campus community, according to student committee member Betty Hart. "Because it's an internal thing, there has to be secrecy," she said. Current Dean of College Life Dick Archer is leaving the post to become a Faculty Master. Ash said that the new dean must be chosen soon because he or she will play a major role in the restructuring of student services. "What we hope to do is make that appointment some time in the next three weeks and then let that person assist us in shaping future student services functions," Ash stated. The new dean of College Life will "supervise campus-wide programming, coordinate the master calendar, oversee the disciplinary system, and assist student government, student organizations, and societies," while working with the faculty masters, according to an open memo from Ash. The dean will chair a faculty masters committee that will set policy for campus living, Ash stated at Sunday's meeting. "Essentially, the model is one that other schools follow," he noted. Along with the new dean will come new goals and policies for student services. The major objective of the changes is to "coordinate and integrate" service to students, Ash said. "What we heard from [BOG] and others this year is that we need to centralize student services. We need one person to deal with student concerns," he added. . Two changes have already been decided upon. Ash said that administration has decided that the director of the counseling center will be a full-time position next year. The search for a new director, "someone with a doctorate," will begin in the next 2-4 weeks, Ash said. Dr. Laura Kantorowski, who currently heads the Counseling Center, has her own private practice outside of the college and works part-time on campus. A third area coordinator will also be added to the residence life staff, so that each faculty master will have an area coordinator working with him. "This will increase the kind of programming that we want to do with the faculty masters [program]," Ash said. More Honor Code See page 3. Mena Kai See page 6. DAMPING OUT: Carol Atencio and Julie Arniton were among i who stayed out overnight in hopes of getting the classes jthey wanted. Registration Rush Has Students Upset, Adams Says That It's Not That Bad By Amy Szczukowski QC Features Editor Although the registration camp-out for fall 1990 wasn't nearly as had as for this year's spring semester, some freshmen still spent the night in front of Mendenhall in desperate hopes of getting all their first choice classes. First semester fifty five freshmen were lined up by 9 pm the night before registration. Betsy Kemp and Christine Jeschke were the first two in line for Friday's registration. The girls hit the walkway up to Mendenhall with their sleeping bags at midnight. They were joined at 1 am by four others. The majority of the students didn't begin to congregate until 5 am. "I thought the rest of the class was going to be out here," Kemp said. "I hate the competition." "Staying out is the easiest thing to do rather than making a whole new schedule," Jeschke said. However, one of her classes, The Good Life, a philosophy course which satisfies a liberal ed requirement, was closed before she even got there. Two girls also went out at midnight for Monday's registration. "I've always camped out because I want my classes," Maria , Sanchez, number one, said. "We have no choice or we end up with classes we don't want." Like Jeschke, however, Sanchez was still faced with closed classes — Biology and Tennis. By 8 am Monday morning, 27 classes had already been closed. The feelings among the freshmen seemed universal. They'd walk into the Mendenhall lobby, glance at the list of closed classes, plop down on the couch and begin groaning — unhappy, unshowered, and unprepared to deal with completely reorganizing their schedules. "If we had arena scheduling like normal schools, this wouldn't happen," Julie Amiton, number three in Friday's registration said as she huddled in her blanket at 5 am. "This is ridiculous." According to juniors and seniors, the registration campout has been going on since they enrolled at Whittier. "There are problems with the system," freshman,Caidin Duffy, number five, agreed. Registrar, Gerald Adams said that "Things were much worse for spring semester," and gave "no comment." INSIDE ESPECIAL ' —m— ^-* • CAMPAIGN SECTION Election Info. 6 Candidate Profiles.
