Millman Survives Skiing Accident,
Continues Duties Despite Injuries
■ ACCIDENT
by Adam Pava
QC Editor-in-Chief
Whittier College Provost and
Dean of Faculty Richard Millman
was involved in a skiing accident
on Saturday, Dec. 20, causing a
broken clavicle, fractured rib, nine
stitches in his head and ear, a
badly pulled quadricep, severe
tendon damage around one knee
and a bruised bone in the shoulder
socket.
Despite the injuries, he continued with his administrative
duties for the College. "I came in
a little last week, will come in
every day this week for about half
a day and will be back to normal
the following week," Millman
said.
He asserted that the whole
healing process will take a total of
two or three months, but "by next
week, nobodyrshould notice." By
this time, he. expects to be completely back on schedule, aside
from the possibility of missing
some evening activities such as
attending basketball games and
theatrical events.
Richard Millman.
According to Dean of Students Susan Allen, Millman is taking a "hefty amount of painkillers," which might affect his concentration.   .
The accident occurred while
Millman was on a six-day vacation in Colorado. The collision
occured on the fourth day, and he
was in two hospitals for a total of
approximately six hours, but did
not spend the night in the hospital.
"I was going down an intermediate run and was well in
control, skiing close to the
trees—and something happened," Millman stated. "I have
no idea what caused if, but I
turned left into the trees. Per
haps it was some bad snow, or
someone cut me off (but I don't
think so) or it was my native lack
of coordination, but all of a sudden, I was heading into a tree
close to 20 miles an hour."
Millman's skis flew off and he
collided with the tree with his head
and shoulder before blacking out.
When he came to, he put his skis
back on and continued down the
mountain until someone saw that
he was covered in blood and alerted
the First Aid staff.
"My two-year-old grandson
[Isaac Millman] looked at me with
all my bandages on and said'ouch-
ie,' which is probably a fairly good
description of what I look like,"
Millman added.
According to Assistant Professor of Speech Pathology Irene Carlyle, "the Dean has a hard head, and
sometimes this actually comes in
handy."
Millman said that he is delighted to be alive and wants to thank all
members of the Whittier College
community who sent cards and well-
wishes.
He is confident that he will ski
again. "You bet I will," he maintained. "Just probably not this season."

accounts. Also, as the Interclub
representative last year, he suggests that kiosks (stand-alone information booths) be placed around
campus in order to publicize on-
campus events effectively.
Sophomore Buisness major
Metivier intends to focus her attention on student forums. These forums
would be presented by COR and
would serve to better inform the student body on issues important to them.

increase the effectiveness COR has

said he also hopes to make sure
that students are fully informed

hopes to begin by informing students as to what their school fees
are used for.
Junior Political Science ma
jor Chacon hopes to strengthen
relationships between students and
the administrative offices by brining student grievances to their attention. He also wants to influence
Bon Appetit's service by instituting changes in their policies [see
