Farley's Life Celebrated at Memorial ■ MEMORIAL by Adam Pava QC Editor-in-Chief Over 100 people gathered in the Upper Quad on the evening of Saturday, Sept. 27 to celebrate the life of junior Seth Farley, who died on July 20th in an auto accident. Surrounded by 200 glowing luminaries, mourners participated in an open microphone session and explored a gallery of Farley's art to remember the dynamic student. "We tried to reach all the senses at the memorial," said junior Jaime Wemett, an organizer of the event. "We attempted to make it so one could see, hear, smell, feel and taste Seth." Along with the open- microphone service and art gallery displaying Farley's work, the memorial featured the live band Viva Malpache, an incense um in the Buddhist tradition, large boards where visitors could write messages to Seth and vegetarian pot-luck and Middle-Eastern cuisine. According to another organizer of the memorial, junior Mike McKennedy, "It was the embodiment of Seth. I thought it was beautiful." The Wardman Gym—which The Spot Now Serves Beer on Weekends Spraypainting furniture was one of the ways students expressed their emotions at Saturday's memorial. Photo Courtesy ol Jaime Wemett houses the art department,where Farley spent much of his time— was used to display his artwork, home video movies, photo albums, and a separate room which senior Jeff Cain designed to simulate Farley's workspace. The room contained school papers, home movies, artwork in progress, childhood pictures and a chair that Seth had painted. "I wanted to make a space that 1 thought would be able to create an intimacy, a place where people could go in there by themselves and commune with Seth," Cain said. "I put turquoise footprints underneath the chair ofhis desk. Turquoise is the negative color of white flesh. I just thought it would be nice to imply that maybe Seth was there, in spirit anyway." The organizers also set up over 30 pieces of furniture—mostly chairs, painted white—stacked high in the Upper Quad for visitors to spray paint and decorate with messages. "Seth didn't think there was enough spray paint on campus," McKennedy explained. See MEMORIAL, page 6 m THE SPOT by Berto Lopez QC Staff Writer The Spot has secured a beer and wine license from the City of Whittier and has begun to serve beer to of-age students on Friday and Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., or closing time. Student managers have been trained on alcohol policies and have received certification ;igh the statewide progiam Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC). Wrist bands will be enforced, especially during nights when The Club is having activities and there is more danger of someone underage trying to "sneak a beer." This should not be a problem, Zamora said, "with the help of Campus Safety we have had a positive outcome thus far." Currently, there is a selec tion of Budwciser and Bud Light, but The Spot can have any requested beer if the requester pays for it in advance. Bon Appetit is responsible for determining whether a patron is intoxicated or not and when to stop serving that person. The following signs will be used by employees to determine if a patron is becoming intoxicated: inhibitions become relaxed, judgment is impaired, reactions are affected, loss of coordination and by examining the pnysical appearance of the patron. Once it has been determined that a guest is intoxicated, Bon Appetit will no longer serve alcohol to that individual. Spot ManagcrCarlos Zamora said The Spot has been serving beer sincethe first week of the semester and he hopes more people will become aware of this new service. He would like to see more students come in with friends and enjoy a glass of beer in The Spot's environment. Naylor Hall Renovation to be Completed by January 1998 ■ CAMPUS BUILDINGS by Dennis Soto QC Assoc. News Editor The $1.5 million renovation of Naylor Hall is set to be completed by Jan. 1, 1998, according to the College's Project Management Consultant Nelson Park. Whittier College's signature building has been under construction since last spring. Peck/Jones Construction is currently working on giving Naylor a "seismic retrofit" which will bring the building up to earthquake fitted requirements, according to Peck/Jones Superintendent Richard Pierce. This retrofit includes a new foundation, which will work to support the cement wall designed to handle earthquakes. The building will also receive cripple walls, which will give it lateral support and a new drain line. The building is expected to have new seats for the lecture room, a new handicap ramp and six units of air conditioning, as well as cosmetic updates such as exterior and interior painting and window replacements. When completed, Naylor Hall will house the Modern Language department, which is now located on the first floor of Hoover Hall. Naylor was home to the Chemistry department until 1987, followed by the Art department until it was transferred to the Wardman Gym. The Ahmanson Foundation, who is in support of Naylor Hall's restoration, granted the money needed for the project. . "It's not coincidental that Dick Deihl, the formal chairman of the Board of Ahmanson Corporation Naylor Hall in its current state of construction. Jascha Kaykas-Wollt/QC Photo Editor is the chairman of the company," stated Executive Director of Development, Jonathon Meer. "He was instrumental with putting us in touch with the corporation," he added. Parks said that the construction is under a "very tight schedule," but reassures that the project's completion will be around January of next year. "I want to preserve [Naylor Hall] and hope that no one [vandalizes] it," he added. Naylor suffered damage during the Whittier Narrows earth quake of 1987. It was later deter- mind that the building's structure failed earthquake safety specifications and so Naylor Hall was abandoned. Aside from surviving the Whittier Narrows earthquake, "the building also survived the Long Beach earthquake of 1932," Park mentioned. "The biggest difficulty [we are having is] window replacements and air conditioning," Park said. "We're trying [to reach the January deadline] and if we make it, we make it." The cosmetic stage of the restoration is not scheduled to be completed until late November or early December. ISSUE 5 - VOLUME 84
