News Editor Plans are underway for the Whittier Scholars Program (W.S.P.) to require students who enter the program during the 2000-2001 academic year to participate in either a study abroad program, an internship or community service in relation to their Educational Design. "It will help them see the connection and relationship between their academic work and the wider world. The internships have to be such that supports the student's Educational Design (E.D.)," Associate Director of Whittier Scholars Program Irene Carlyle said. Whittier Scholars complete their degree by creating their own personal curriculum, called an E.D., which must be approved by a panel of faculty. Students will be required to show how their outside activity relates to their E.D. "If students have a major in Sociology and get an internship working in a community nursery or garden, they would need to show how this pertains to Sociology," Carlyle said. "Students need to make some connections." Students in the W.S.P. will be required to complete up to three units in any of the three areas depending on the number of hours they participate. Typically students will fulfill this requirement their junior year after they have been admitted to the W.S.P. in the Spring Semester of their sophomore year. "It is not required to happen at that particular time, but that is generally how it will happen," Carlyle said. Although it is not currently a requirement, students are highly encouraged to participate in something outside to their academic curriculum. "It's a good idea. It has pushed me to get an internship that I normally may not have thought of Wardman Hall houses Whittier Scholars Program faculty and students. getting," sophomore Michal Merraro said. "Studying abroad was an important part of my design as a Whittier Scholar student," senior Misty Sanford said. "The kind of people that do the Whittier Scholars Program are pushing their limits and are going to be willing to do something like this." Sanford studied abroad in Spain and incorporated the experience with her minor in Multicultural Stud ies. Advisor for the Off-Campus Program for the Whittier Scholars Program Roberta Ritz will coordinate and facilitate students to find a program that will help fulfill the new requirement. She will also help students figure out how to fit their study abroad or off-campus experience into their E.D. "We want to provide students in the Scholars Program with more guidance. We want to listen to them more and we want to give them an idea of all the options that are out there," Ritz said. Senior J.R. Luker commented, "It's hard to create an internship on your own and I think it is good that there is a staff person helping students out with that." This new component to the W.S.P. will allow students to get job experience, give back to the community and network with employers in the field that they are interested in. "Before [students] have to jump into the big pool 24 hours after graduation, [now] they've got real experience," Ritz said. COR Positions Filled WIN. Fair Takes Over Upper Quad ■ COR by Christian Gregoire QC Staff Writer For the first time in nine months, all 18 seats comprising the Council of Representatives (COR) have been filled. COR had previously been incomplete under former President Rene Islas'tenure during the 1998-1999 academic year. The six new members of COR include freshman Armilla Staley (Freshman Class President), junior Kristin Gingold (I.S.C. Representative), sophomore Jesus Hernandez (I.S.C. Representative), sophomore Jeff Cleveland (At-Large Representative), sophomore Michael Wilkerson (Publications Board Representative) andjunior Nancy Chaires (Minority Caucus). Staley feels she is ready to inject some life into the Freshman Council and freshman class, whose "lack of participation" she said has been detrimental to the college. Staley plans to hold a minimum of two events during the remainder ofthe school year. Staley has initiated her plan by sending out surveys to all members of the freshman class this week, along with a letter introducing herself and explaining her intentions. Staley replaces former Freshman Class President Michelle Vincent, who resigned in February due to dissatisfaction with the efficiency of the class council. She is confident that "COR will support [her] if the Freshman Council won't." Furthermore, she is fully aware that it is largely up to the freshman class to help itself by engaging in and supporting planned activities. Cleveland became intrigued by the position of At-Large Representative by talking to COR President junior Jonathan Collard. Cleveland says he "always On Wednesday, March 15, the Student Health Center held a Wellness Improvement How! (W.3.H.) Fair on the Upper I3uad. The event was organized as part of Hational Collegiate Health and Wellness Week.
