' • • ■:-:. yy ■ Club Opening Delayed Until April 28 STUDENT LIFE ► Administrators attribute the delays to differences between the architect's originalplans and the construction site itself. by JANINE LEIGH KRAMER QC Senior Staff Writer Unexpected problems have plagued construction on the Club pushing the anticipated opening date to Sunday, April 28, according to Harold Hewitt, vice president for business and finance. This is almost two weeks later than the earlier estimate for an opening date. Most ofthe delays have come from the inability ofthe construction crew to follow the current architect's plan because features of the downstairs area are in different locations than the as-builts indicate. As-builts are the contractor' s record of what was actually done to the property last time it was renovated. These misplacements were not discovered until full demolition was completed due to the fact that they could not be seen. For example, the construction crew discovered pipes and conduits on the south wall that were directly in the intended path ofthe air conditioning unit to be installed for the downstairs area. In order to resolve this prob lem, both the pipes and conduits and the intended air conditioner path need to be moved. However, since the pipes and conduits are vital to the operation of the Campus Inn, the construction crew must arrange a time to do this work when food service will not be interrupted. When the air conditioner vent shaft was moved, it was in front of the speakers for the sound system. "The vent had to be moved to that location, which meant that the shaft would be right in front of the speakers. This would cause a rattle and poor sound quality, so the sound system needed to be redesigned," said Hewitt. Another delay occurred when the crew dug into the floor with the anticipation of finding sewers. These were not where the as- builts said they would be and construction was held up as the crew had to then find the sewers. "These problems have caused 90% ofthe delays. I think we've seen the worst of it, but there are always surprises," said Hewitt. The Spot, the food service section downstairs, will not be open when the Club opens in April. This delay is due to absence of a charbroiler in the final plans forthe Spot's kitchen. This omission was significant because in a poll taken two years ago students Campbell Room Burglarized While Students Sleep CRIME ► Failing to lock their door the nightbefore, three Campbell hall residents awoke to find $870 worth of belongings missing. CATHERINE PAYNE QC News Editor OnMarch 14,aCampbellHall room was burglarized while the three residents were asleep. The theft took place somewhere between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. Friday morning. The residents, who were Aspect students, were not harmed. Two purses, a ring, a watch and a pager, amounting to about $870, were taken. The three women had gone to sleep Thursday night at around 9 p.m., and do not remember locking the door. They awoke the next morning at about 8 a.m. to find their door ajar discovered that their belongings had been stolen off of their dressers where they had left them the night before. According to Chief Ed Malone, the incident was not reported to Campus Safety until 12:10 p.m. on Friday, four hours after the theft was discovered. "A time lag between discovery and reporting [the crime] is not uncommon to Aspect students," said Malone. "By the time they had called us, they had already cancelled their credit cards." Whittier Police Department was informed ofthe burglary, and sent an officer to take a report. There was no signs of forced entry, no fingerprints and no witnesses, said Malone. "This was a crime of opportunity," he said. "It's a real major issue we're harping on our own students... they don't lock their doors." In the majority these incidents, Malone noted, there are no signs of forced entry, indicating that the door was unlocked. In an effort to prevent similar incidents, Malone advises students to lock their doors, even if they are going down the hall to the bathroom. requested to have a charbroiler for hamburgers and other items as a healthier way to cook than a fryer.

Committee Proposes 10% Salary Increase FACULTY ► Whittier faculty salaries have lagged below those of faculty at comparable colleges in recentyears.The increase will help to bring the salaries up to date. by ALEXANDER MACKIE QC Editor-in-Chief A faculty committee recently sent a recommendation to the dean of faculty for a 10% pool increase in faculty salaries as part of the $1 million permanent transfer to academic affairs. The increase follows a 3% increase over the last three years. In recent years, average Whittier faculty salaries have lagged behind those at comparable colleges according to faculty members and administrators. Despite the recommended $525,000 increase in salaries "# think the increase is not enough. We need to do more, but this is as much as we can do." —Richard Millman Dean of Faculty for Whittier's 81 full-time professors, Phil O'Brien, chair of the faculty Professional Interest Committee, said Whittier will continue to fall below the average. The faculty has had salary increases of 0% in 1993,3% in 1994 and 0% in 1995. In the early 1990's the faculty had several double digit increases, according to one faculty member. Whittier has not always lagged far behind other colleges. Between 1989 and 1992 the College gave several raises that Please see INCREASE, pg. 4 ISSUE 20 • VOLUME 82
