COR Allocates Tight Spring Budget FINANCES ► With over $100,000 requested from organizations, and having just over $60,000' to allocate, the Budget Commitee was forced to make big cuts. by RENE ISLAS QC Asst. News Editor On Monday March 3, Whittier's student Council of Representatives (COR) Budget Committee approved the allocation of funds for student organizations. The committee was forced to make a number of cuts due to a general lack of money, allocating only 59% of the amount requested. [See chart on pg. 5 for a full list of allocations.] Organizations on campus ranging from the Arthurian Order of the Knights of the Pendragon to the Lancer Society requested a total of $106,912.40 from COR forvarious projects. CORhadonly $63,074.64 to distribute. According to COR Treasurer Lisa Rollins, the funds raised by student fees were allocated to the student organizations on the basis of justification by club leaders. Each organization submitted detailed plans for fund use, and were granted money on the basis of specific guidelines set by the Budget Committee. Some of the committee's guidelines included not funding programs such as student parties thrown at The Club that require admissions fees, fund-raiser programs, events not-open to the entire campus, off-campus socials, and publicity for any events. Other items that have previously been funded had to be sacrificed, such as money for reim- Jascha Kaykas-Wolff/QC Photo Editor "The sub-lounge [was] pretty much trashed," freshman and second floor Stauffer Hall resident Sarah Ingalls said. Stauffer Hall Rabid with Crime RES. LIFE ► There has been a surge of vandalism in Stauffer Hall in the last two weeks. Authorities suspect a gang of drunken students. by CHRIS ZIEGLER Asst. A&E Editor "Afterevery weekend, Stauffer looks like a battle zone," sophomore Stauffer Hall resident Tim Kazules said. The casualties? According to Campus Safety, a 24 hour span over the weekend of March 1 saw four exit signs destroyed, four window screens stolen, two toilet paper dispensers broken into and the toilet paper strewn across the hall, one lock rendered inoperable by the "insertion of a foreign object," and one hapless visitor slathed with garbage. After falling asleep in the second floor men's lounge, the visitor, a non-student, awoke and found himself smeared with shav- bursement of mileage and funding for club retreats and trips. "A lot of items that would have normally been granted money had to be cut due to the economic scarcity we had to deal with this year," COR President Keristofer Saryani said. The "economic scarcity" is a result of the loss of student fees from those students withdrawing from the school and "the growing amount of groups requesting money," Rollins said. However, some requests were granted unconditionally. For example, all requests to fund speakers were granted this year, according to Rollins. The average amount asked for by organizations was $2,672.81, and the average amount approved was $ 1,495.30.

"He wasn't, like, visibly wet, so I don't think he was peed on," one eyewitness said. Director of Residential Life Dave Leonard estimates the damage toll to be three to four hundred dollars. "This weekend was a pretty active weekend," he said. Between March 1 and 2, Campus Safety responded to three separate vandalism calls in Stauffer Hall which seem to be the latest in a wave of property damage that shows no signs of flagging.

Budget Committee member junior Chris Mueller said "the major criteria we looked at was that they [the organization leaders] filled out the forms right." "Other criteria were that the clubs had specific dates and locations for the events they requested money for," Mueller added. "We checked to see if these events weren't in conflict with other events, and were already booked for the venues."
