Ash Discusses Future of Honor Code With BOG
By Jim Westerberg
QC Staff Writer
Whittier President Dr.
James Ash attended last
Wednesdays Board of Governors
(BOG) meeting to discuss the
issueof an honor code at Whittier
College.
Ash presented the
possibility of having an honor
code based on research that was
done by a committee last year.
The committee investigated
different types of honor codes at
other colleges and universities
around the nation.
Ash asked BOG to consider
creating a task force that would
develop and propose an outline
of a honor code, subject to
student and faculty approval.
Several  BOG  members

Counsel, and Bill Erickson, President Pro-temp discuss the honor code.
questioned the need for a honor
code at Whittier College. Ash
responded that, "if in the process
of creating an honor code, the
task force came to the conclusion
that it is not needed, then that
would be a viable solution as
well."
President Pro-temp, senior,
Bill Erickson, asked Ash what
tangiblebenefits would be found
in having a honor code at
Whittier College. He replied that
"an honor code would provide a
greater freedom for students to
do their work."
According     to Bill
Mullowney, College Counsel,
one benefit of an honor code is to
provide a signal to outsiders as
to what can be expected at
Whittier.
BOG agreed to the
formation of a task force to look
into the creation of an honor
code and decided that it would
consist of four students, two
faculty and Mullowney.
However, BOG expressed
concern to Ash that any proposed
honor code must be approved by
the students and the faculty
before it can be accepted and
implemented.
"I agree wholeheartedly that
if an honor code is adopted, it
must come from the students,"
Ash said.
Bennett Tries to
Restart Safe Rides
By Nan Davis
QC Staff Writer
"I care about the
students," senior Richard
Bennett, Board of Governors
(BOG) Business Manager
said, "they need a safe ride
home."
Bennett is trying to
restart the safe rides program,
that senior Bill Erickson
began last year, but he is
facing many liability problems
with the college. "We have
the structure, but we need the
funding," Bennett said.
If the college pays
students to taxi intoxicated
students, then the school
becomes responsible.
