The Voice Of The Campus Since 1914 Salcedo Elected Freshman Class President ELECTIONS ^■Freshman class officers, hungry for involvement, were elected this week in a close race decided by more than a third of the freshman class. BY LISA NUNN QC Co-Sports Editor The Whittier College class of 2000 made its first collective decision last week in its election of the Freshman Class Council. One hundred and thirty-five voters (a little more than one third ofthe freshman class) cast ballots in front of the mail room on Wednesday, Sept. 25, and Thursday, Sept. 26, narrowly choosing Trena Salcedo as freshman class president and Juan Lucero as vice president. According to junior Mike Garabedian, COR secretary and election committee chair, the number of votes were "extremely close for both positions." Garabedian admitted "I was careful to recount; that's how close it was." Both Stephanie Johnson and Matt Feinberg ran unopposed for the offices of secretary and treasurer, respectively. Feinberg comes to Whitter from Durango_ High School in Las Vegas, NV, and said that he ran for a place on the student council because it was one of his favorite experiences in high school. "I like to be able to make a difference," he said. Feinberg hopes to be able to organize "more trips to amusement parks, and more sporting activities. It's always good to have rivalry between the halls," he added. Johnson, served in several offices, including choir, Thespian Society, and Opera Club as well as the student body council during her years at Eastlake High School in Chula Vista, CA. She said that she ran for secretary because she "wanted to get involved" at Whittier. Salcedo echoed the same sentiment: "basically, I wanted to get involved," she asserted. "I am not the type of person to sit back and watch activities, I like to put them on." As student body president her senior year at Pioneer High School in Whittier, CA and student body vice president her freshman year there, Salcedo too comes to Whittier's Freshman Class Council with experience under her belt. Pragmatically, she plans to wait and see what activities already exist, and then proceed to organize additional ones for the freshman class as well as the rest of the school to participate in. "I would like to do something big for a holiday," Salcedo mentioned, "maybe cinco de Mayo, or another one."

Student Suspended in Sexual Offense Case CRIME ► A Whittier student was suspended for two years after being found responsible for the forcible rape of another student. by LORNA BELL QC Editor-in-Chief Early this September, both a rape by force and a sexual offense were reported through Campus Safety involving Whittier students. The rape case was brought before the school's hearing board. The alleged assailant, also a Whittier student, was found responsible and suspended from the school for two years. Neither the victim, nor the alleged assailant chose to comment on the situation. The victim in the case of the sexual offense, according to Campus Safety's statistics, did not file formal charges against the alleged assailant, according to Dean of Students, Susan Allen, but can still do so at any time. "A large majority of sexual assaults occur within the first sev eral weeks of school," Chief of Campus Safetly, Ed Malone said. Campus Safety defines rape separately from other sex offenses; whereas the Whittier College Student Handbook includes rape in its definition of a sexual offense. The rape case was brought before a college hearingiboard in keeping with the regulations outlined in the Whittier College Student Handbook. The hearing board was chaired by Associate Dean of Academic Affairs David Muller, and included facutly members, Anne Kiley (English), Jeff Decker (Business) and Mike McBride (Political Science). The Hearing Board's determination is based on whether it is "more likely than not" that the accused student violated the policy, according to the Student Handbook.
