My boyfriend, who was driving the car, had a pretty bad burn on his wrist and on his chest." — Heidi Silverberg, freshman and the airbag burnt my face," Silberberg said. "My boyfriend, who was driving the car, had a pretty bad burn on his wrist and on his chest. The paramedics came and looked it over and said it was okay." Both vehicles received extensive damage. According to Silverberg, the Volvo was totaled. "It's gone. The windshield was cracked and the sunroof buckled," Silverberg said. Damage to Winningham's vehicle was less severe, although the car is currently immobile. "The front windshield was cracked, both air bags came back out and the right front fender is gone. The other vehicle hit my right side, so the wheel is bashed up and the axle is probably messed up," Win- ningham said. Both drivers are insured, but the driver at fault has not been determined. Campus Safety responded to the accident; however, Whittier Police Department took the report. "I had already called to find out whose fault it was and they said it takes 10 working days to get a report," Winningham said. "I was entering the parking lot and I had my left blinker on when the car came out of nowhere." According to Silverberg, Winningham was at fault. "We were going down Earlham and the other girl was coming up and she just turned right in front of us. We had no time to break, but we had the right of way," Silverberg said. ■ FACULTY by Shauna Rogers Professor Jose Ore 2:30a.m. He and his wife named the girl Naima del Carmen Orozco-Valdivia.

According to Neaves,"these halls are opting to continue to take care of their own recycling. The halls used to do it themselves or it just didn't happen." The resident advisors in Stauffer, Ball and Johnson halls will continue recycling for themselves while Wardman, Harris, Turner and Wanberg Hall's will be SOMA'S responsibility. SOMA thought they had found a company that was willing to pick up the recycla- bles at no charge, but a change in ownership led to a new policy in which SOMA would have to pay for service. Instead, the club's members have decided to take the materials to a recycling center in Pico Rivera. Turner Hall's Area Coordinator, Shelly Strong, has agreed to allow SOMA recycle the Hall's recyclabes on the condition that 25% of the money made will go to the Resident Advisor budget. SOMA has agreed to the proposal. There will be separate trash cans for aluminum cans, bottles, paper and plastic materials in Wardman Hall. Other halls will have boxes for paper and boxes for all other recyclable materials. Campbell is the only hall that will not be recycling. Neaves stressed,"we'd like to.get it in Campbell, but it isn't possible right now. My goal is to get SOMA doing it and prove that students will use the facilities if they're made available." 1 SOMA hopes that the college will eventually hire a company to take care of recycling so that, SOMA can focus its energies elsewhere. The materials are scheduled to be picked up by SOMA members on Wednesdays. Senior Ken Shoji and junior Korey Hendricks have volunteered to drive the materials to the recycling center.
