Lozano Receives Nerhood Award ■ FACULTY by Adam Pava QC Editor-in-Chief Associate Professor of Music Danilo (Danny) Lozano was awarded the Harry W. Nerhood Excellence in Teaching Award at the Faculty Meeting on Tuesday, May 5. The award will officially be announced at the Convocation ceremony on Thursday, May 7. "I'm sort of overwhelmed by this award," Lozano said. "There are so many great faculty members here that it's a great honor to be selected from such a formidable group of people." Professor of Political Science Mike McBride will present the award to Lozano at convocation Thursday evening. Traditionally, the award is given by the recipient from the previous year, but last year's winner, Jeff Decker, is no longer a professor at Whittier. Dean of Faculty and College Provost Richard Millman explained that the Nerhood Award recipient is chosen from nominations given by faculty and students. A committee of three mem- Danilo Lozano. AsMeyHamiirtlQCPhotoEcilOf bers—the dean of faculty, the chair of faculty and the chair of the Faculty Personnel Committee— makes the decision. "About 15 professors were nominated this" year," Millman said. Millman said that "Lozano is not only wonderful in the classroom, but he spends an enormous amount of time out of the classroom, in the C.I. and in various ensembles on campus." Along with being the director of the Jazz Ensemble, Lozano teaches private flute lessons and many courses. His classes cover such subjects as the music of Latin America and Africa, jazz histo ry, and American popular music. He began working at Whittier in 1987 as an artist in residence. In 1989 he began teaching classes and became a tenured faculty member in 1992. Millman also said that Lozano was "a major force in the meaningful revision ofthe [Music] departmental major." Professor of Sociology Les Howard, Lozano's friend and colleague, describes him as "a person for whom teaching is an extremely diffuse activity; it is a way of being... His teaching is marked by constantly expanding the horizons of all who know him." Lozano remained humble: "My intention was^never to do things for the public recognition," he said. "I had no idea that I was under serious consideration [for the award]." In reference to Lozano's passion for the flute, when Millman announced the award at the Faculty Meeting, he quoted Oscar Wilde: "To dance to flutes, to dance to lutes, is delicate and rare," he said. "We are lucky indeed to be able to dance to flutes on this campus with Danny Lozano." B.S.U., SOMA, H.S.A. Shine at STAAR ■ AWARDS by Laura Benavides QC Staff Writer The Black Student Union (B.S.U.), Students Organized! for Multicultural Awarness (SOMA) and the Hispanic Student Association (H.S.A.) shared the honors at this years Student Activities Awards Reception (STAAR) on Friday, May 1 in Hartley House.

Johnson is now in the stages of recovery and is undergoing physical therapy: however, he is still unable to speak due to a tracheotomy. Doctors have stated that Johnson will fully recover mentally and physically. He is now being treated in a hospital in the Los Angeles area. ■ Students' Ross Suit Continues The three African-American students who were wrongly accused by the Whittier Quad's Ross Dress For Less Store of being aimed robbery suspects are still in the process of instigating a civil law suit against the company, despite the fact that it has been over a year since the event occurred. /QC Issue 25] The students—juniors Karl Robinson, Derek Grant and Tino Rimando— have chosen an attorney, which Robinson chose not to name, who has had correspondence with Ross in the form of a letter. "Our biggest concern now is that we have passed the April 24 deadline," Robinson said. By law, a party must take legal action within a year of the event. After that year, the prosecuting parties face legal barriers when taking action; nevertheless, Robinson feels confident that something can still be done. ■ Marriott Takeover Not Harmful to Maintenance Workers When Marriott took over maintenance from Johnson Controls in the end of March, issuesjvete.jai.sciiby employees/^flc^s^peifoiwara-to-V/Ott^iBew unhappiness over the transition/QC Issue 23]; however, Assistant Maintenance Manager Richard Regensburg and Project Engineer for Sodexho Marriott Bill Call spoke out in contrast to the statements made by former Johnson Controls employee Elmo Rocha. Rocha stated that workers would pay more for health benefits, would have to undergo a 90 day probation period and would lose sick days, which led him to leave the College. Regensburg, who underwent the transition, stated, "I've been working with Marriott for two months now and the salaries are fine, the insurance is fine and our benefits are the same. Jo Ann Hankin promised us that nothing would change, and she was right. In fact, I used to pay $46 a week for my premium, and now I pay $42. H.M.O. is H.M.O." Nearly all Johnson Controls employees were rehired by Marriott, with the exception of employees that had been let go previous to Marriott's take-over. ■ Library Renovation on Hold No architect has been chosen for the renovation ofthe Bonnie Bell Wardman Library. Further fundraising for the project is on hold until an architect is selected; currently about $5 million has been secured. /QC Issue 23] ■ Vandalism in Stauffer Calmed Slightly Area Coordinator Trisha Wells reports that while vandalism has only calmed down slightly since the last story was published in March, the situation in Stauffer has improved. /QC Issue 23J "People have begun to take more responsibility for their actions." Wells said. "Individuals have come forward and admitted to several incidents, but we still have the occasional random act of vandalism." No one has come forward in the case of two men who broke a car window while throwing tiles from the roof. ■ AOKP Finds Justice for Paintball Attacks Members of the Artorian Order of the Knights of Pendragon have seen justice after being attacked with paintballs and eggs in March. /QC Issue 21] Two of the four students who attacked the group with eggs have publicly apologized as a part of their sanctions. ■ Electric Bike Experiment Delayed In Issue 1 ofthe (?C this year, we printed that the College was working with the Southern California Edison Co. and the city of Whittier in an effort to become a test campus for new "environmentally sensitive transportation" in the form of electric bicycles. According to President James L. Ash, Jr., "Basically, it's being delayed because this new product is being rapidly improved and we don't want to test something that is about to become obsolete." ' Vice President of Business and Administration Jo Ann Hankin said that the College is still actively talking to a number of different electric bike companies. "We are hoping that by fall more product options will exist for students and the community to try out." ■ Vallejo Now At Home Junior Andreana Vallejo—who suffered internal and head injuries during an automobile accident on Tuesday, Feb. 24, 1997—was taken home from Whittier Hospital since the last QC update in September. According to Nicky Butterly, the secretary of the Redwood building and Vallejo's former employee, Vallejo is steadily improving. "Her mom says that taking her home from the hospital is the best thing she could ever do for her," said Butterly, who talked to her mom on Wednesday, May 6. "At home she can get the therapy she needs." ISSUE 26 • VOLUME 84
