QUAKER CAMPUS The Voice of Whittier College Since 1914 Volume LXXVII, Number 15 ^ January 18,1991 !|l||^P|fpi 1 Jenny Colville/QC Photographer Senior Robert Yowell loads his plate with vegetables from the new salad bar, just one of the new set-ups in the remodeled Campus Inn. The Campus Inn Is Open! Other Construction Projects Continue By Jennifer Buddemeyer QC News Staff With the start of a new calendar year, several of the construction projects across the campus are near completion, but the Administration has rung in the new year with some new projects as well. Out With The Old The Campus Inn. The completion of the Campus Inn (CI) was quietly celebrated on Monday, Jan. 7, by students who rose for breakfast before the January Interim classes began. The opening took place as scheduled before the holidays despite minor setbacks according to the Administration. Harold Hewitt, Vice President for Business and Finance, said, "Construction was not completed until January 5," two days before classes resumed. The food service staff had planned to move into to the new CI shortly after students left for the holidays, not two days before they returned. Hewitt said that "minor difficulties with the main drainage system that surfaced at the last minute" were the principle cause of the moving delay. Despite last minute setbacks, Nel son Park, Director of Projects, said of the new CI, "Remarkably, it's all run pretty well." Jim Surwillo, Director of Maintenance, added, 'There are still little bugs in the CI, but those are to be expected." Hewitt noted that the food service staff had adjusted quickly to the new kitchen equipment and said, "Anytime you have new equipment, it is a challenge to leam to use it— not^eea»»ey©tt- are unskilled or unprofessional, but simply because if s different." "There will be a grand opening of the new CI after the beginning of the second semester," Hewitt said. Tt will be held then to allow everyone wanting to take part in the celebration to return to school and also allow the staff to adjust to the new equipment." Though a final cost of renovating the CI will not be available for about two months, Hewitt estimated the amount to. be about "$2.3 million-plus: $1.75 million for the renovation and about $640,000 for the renting and operating of the Campus Tent." Hewitt continued that the College's insurance covered $1.1 million of the CI renovation costs and, for the most part, the cost of the Tent. The balance of costs was paid for with money from the College's $18 million federal bond. Faculty Masters Houses. Though both Bill Wadsworth, Geology Professor, and Dick Archer, History Professor, have already moved into their Faculty Masters Houses at Johnson and Wanberg, respectively, Dallas Rhodes, Geology Professor, still awaits the completion of his new home near Stauffer Hall. "We had hoped he'd be in by mid-January, but the rains came, stopping the hardscaping of the grounds," Hewitt said. Hardscaping entails pouring cement walkways to the entrances of the house, enabling furnituretobeinstalled. Cement -cannot be poured onmuddy, wet Yakubik Replaced as RA earth. Hewitt said, 'The rain set back work at least a full seven days." "Basically the interior is finished, and the decorator is expected to begin bringing furniture and hanging drapes on January 17," Rhodes said. Rhodes stated that he and his wife, Lisa Rossbacher, plan to move into the house on Jan. 25. "At this point we just want to get through the sheer drudgery of moving!"Rhodes said, though he added that both he and his wife are excited about the move. Rhodes had no set student activities, but said, "As soon as we can, Lisa and I will have an open house; then we'll see from there." Harris-Wardman Path. The path between Harris and Wardman Hall was finished with the exception of painting, lighting, and landscaping, Park said. "We want to select a standard that we can use throughout the campus," Park said. He continued, Tt would be good if we used the same ones as those at the Shannon Center, but we're not sure yet." In terms of landscaping, Park said that nothing will happen until price quotes return from landscaping firms and "it's decided what can and can't be done." Please see page 3. By Julie Amiton Assistant News Editor Stacy Yakubik, senior, former Residential Advisor (RA) in Stauffer Hall, was asked to resign from her position one week before the holiday break. According to Yakubik, numerous reasons were given to her, by Area Coordinator, Lesley Knappen, as to the termination of her position. "I am not at liberty to speak about this issue. This is a personnel issue and we have strict rules regarding personnel," Ken Kelly, Assistant Vice President of Student Life, said. An RA evaluation was filled out by Yakubik's residents, about a week and a half before the break. A few of the residents indicated that Yakubik wasn't visible enough. " I expected her (Yakubik) to be around more; most of the time she wasn't there," freshman resident, Kara Wald said. Following her evaluation, Knappen indicated to Yakubik that she felt the job was too stressful for her: she stated that it was very aifficuttibr Yakubik to be a Met (Metaphonian society) and an RA. "Mets have had a lot of problems with the Administration this year and they are not looked upon too favorably. I guess they (the Administration) figured that because I am a Met, I wouldn't be able to enforce the school policies," Yakubik said. Knappen indicated that Yakubik should think about taking a semester off. When Yakubik told her that she did not want to leave, Knappen informed her that Ken Kelly was asking for her resignation. Yakubik was told by Knappen that if she was going to follow the Administration's wishes and leave, she must submit a letter of resignation. Over a four day period, Yakubik took time to evaluate her priorities, and taking Knappen's advice into consideration, she quitherbabysittingjobandmade plans to be more involved with her residents beginning in January. However, when Yakubik went to Knappen with her decision, she was informed that a Yakubik's position had been terminated and a replacement had been found. According to Yakubik, RA's must keep order in their hall, program events for their residents, and enforce school policies. Residential Life had no comment on the responsibilities of an RA. Yakubik was written up in two incident reports involving alcohol. "I was notj^ersonally drinking at either incident7but alcohol was around," Yakubik said. Yakubik is the Treasurer, Historian and Social Chairman for the Met society. She is also on the Spring Sing Committee, and is a member of Alpha Phi Delta, the Business Fraternity and Cap and Gown, an honorary woman's society. Karyl Radford, sophomore Athenian, is the RA that replaced Yakubik. Administration Warns Societies About Hazing By Caitlin Duffy QC News Editor In preparation for society pledging during January, Stephen Gothold, Dean of College Life, urged society members in an open letter, to "eliminate hazing from all pledging activities." The letter, distributed on Dec. 12, defined hazing as "any activity which threatens the dignity, safety or health of another human being." This letter was prompted by "rumors thathazinghas occurred in past years during pledging," Angel Isaguirre, Intersociety Advisor and Admissions Counselor. Possible sanctions, should a society be found guilty of hazing, include: loss of social privileges, legal prosecution, loss of housing privileges, immediate termination of pledging activities, loss of the entire pledge class, and loss of recognition as a campus organization. A day long retreat at Arrow Bear Music Camp was held on Dec. 1 for Intersociety representatives to address the issue of hazing. Gothold, Ken Kelly Assistant Vice President of Student Life; Ysaguirre, and Kim Campbell, Staff Advisor and Area Coordinator also attended. Two weeks after the retreat, society presidents, and pledge masters and mistresses met with Gothold to discuss pledging activities. Pledges were also informed about hazing. Gothold said that a meeting is being put together for alumni society advisors. "From what I understand, alumni do the worst hazing of all because they won't suffer any consequences." Junior Mike Shore, Intersociety President, said that, Tm glad that the Administration Please see HAZING page 4.
