News Editor The Council of Representatives (COR) granted a funding request by the Franklin Society for a semester-ending dance in the Campus Inn (C.I.) giving them $7,362.54 for entertainment and other expenses on Monday, Nov. 29. The vote was made against the protests of some members who opposed the disbursement of such a large amount of money. "I felt the comments being made in favor of it on the council centered around this being the end ofthe year and us having so much money left," junior COR member Jon Collard said. "The debate did not center around whether we had been equitable with all clubs throughout the year." On Monday, Nov. 29, the Budget Committee presented their rec ommendations for the Franklins' budget application and awarded the society 98 percent of the funding requested for the event. The $7,362.54 given out by COR is the second largest single amount of money given to an organization at one time this year. Only Program Board has received more.

"It is shocking to know that a large amount of money was given away," Nguyen said. "This shows poor allocations were applied without consideration."

"This will put Whittier out there as having a nationally recognized program and a unique educational experience for students," Kaufman said. The W.S.P. has restructured the curriculum and added courses such as: W.S.P. 101, "The Individual, Identity and Community," and W.S.P. 301, "Nature, Theory, and Basis of Knowledge" to replace courses previously offered by the program. For the senior year, the Senior Seminar and Senior Symposium have been added to fill out the program's curriculum. The Senior Seminar provides peer discussion and review as a part ofthe Senior Project process. In this class, students share their work and experiences on their senior projects with other students. Seniors are able to gain insight from their peers about the process involved in producing a final work and share their own successes and problems. The Senior Symposium allows the students to share their Senior Project with V/.S.P. colleagues and the college community as well. It requires students to give a public presentation to fellow scholars Joyce Kaufman. and the community at large, documenting and explaining their work. It serves as a capstone for the program.
