Franklins Evicted from House by Brian Brown QC News Editor After approximately five years in the Franklin House, Franklin society members are facing an eviction date of Sept. 18. The eviction is mainly due to the efforts of the Whittier Police Department's "Crime Impact Team". According to Sergeant Barry Chartier, the team "solves problems that traditional peace officers can't...we try to get the community involved in solving the problem." Sgt. Chartier stated that "excessive noise and other disturbances" were the primary problems causing neighborhood unrest. The Whittier Police Department received neigborhood complaints resulting in 22 "visits" to the Franklin House between last September and July. Sgt. Chartier also noted that "...a few arrests had occurred at some of these visits." The Crime Impact Team sent a letter to the landowner at the end of July "describing the noise problem and neighborhood complaints" the letter also mentioned the 22 visits the Whittier Police Department had made to the house. According to Barry Chartier this "was one ofthe last contacts the Whittier P.D. had with the landowner." The Franklin's received their eviction notice from the landlord early in August with the date set at Sept. 18. The landlord was unavailable for comment. Franklin Society members say the eviction notice came "as a total surprise." According to junior Drew Snyder, "There were no warnings; nothing. I came back and found out that we were out...this is the most outrageously bunk situation I've ever been involved in." Some Franklin members suspect the College Administration had some part to play in the eviction. According to Snyder, "I definitely suspect some foul play on the administrations part." The administration denies any dealings with the Whittier Police Department or the landlord. "The charge (that the involved in the eviction) is totally untrue...we don't have time for this," said Harold Hewitt, Vice President of Business and Finance. The Whittier Police Department also denies administrative involvment. Sgt. Chartier stated, "The Crime Impact Team attempted to contact the administration of the college... the administration stated that they had no jurisdiction over what was going on at the house because the house is not owned by the College." The police department also denies forcing the landlords decision. "We are not in the business of kicking people out of their homes... we merely give the landlord a summary of the going's on at the house and they make their own decisions...in fact this is the first I have heard about the Franklin's eviction", said Sgt.

Susan Allen, the new Dean of Students, said there will be five or six meeting rooms with what was once the living room as a larger more informal meeting place. The kitchen will remain operational. Allen said she would get COR to ask students to set the specifications for usage as far as who gets to use the facility or if alcohol will be allowed, although she hadn't envisioned the facility as a place for social gatherings. "I thought of it as for meeting meetings," she said. "Also, maybe as a study room, as an alternative to the library." She also suggested societies could use it for a work meeting.
