UponOlmos'election, Chairman of the Whittier College Board of Trustees Rayburn S. Dezember praised Olmos' achievements. "We are honored to welcome Mr. Olmos to our board, a gentleman who has earned international prominence through his artistic work in television, films and stage. His generous contributions of time and energy make him a leading force within the community-at-large." Olmos was the keynote speaker at the commencment ceremony last May at which time he was presented with the hon- oraiy degree, doctor of humane letters. According to Dr. Milo Connick, Chairman ofthe Search Committee for Trustees, "Many on the Board were not that familiar with Olmos before the commencement ceiemony. But he did a very good job in speaking and showed a genuine interest in the College and its goals." As a Board member, Olmos' duties will include a variety of functions: an awareness of the College's curriculum and faculty, backing the College financially, promoting the colleges interests and attending all Board meetings. Connick said, "Olmos has shown a dedication to the core values ofthe College and will not sacrifice his duties on the Board because of his other interests." Olmos' connections nationwide may provide the college with higher visibility that could provide financial backing to the College. According to President James Ash, The College is attempting to identify and cultivate relationships with individuals that are friendly to the College's goals. Olmos is a high- profile individual who is truly interestedin the College and will promote the College's values and increase the College's visibilty." Vice-President for Advancement, Joseph Zanetta, was involved in the election to a "limited" extent.

Campus Safety arrived at the scene around 8:15 p.m., after receiving several phone calls from Harris A residents, to report that there had been some damage done to the lounge furniture and also to the lounge itself. According to Campus Safety Chief, Ed Malone, sophomore and Harris A resident Andrew Barry told Campus Safety that he had left the room at approximately 4:30 that afternoon with the lounge intact, and returned to the lounge at about 8 p.m. This is when he noticed the damage and then called Campus Safetyafewmomentslater. This frames the crime between the hours of 4:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Malone,, and Jim Surwillo, Director of Physical Plant and Maintenance, both came back to the college, where Surwillo did the assessment of the damage and Malone took photographs.

All Campus Locks to be Standardized by Seng Hua QC Staff Writer A new approach in maintaining security has been undertaken by the Whittier College Campus Safety following the October theft ofthe master keys. The incident triggered a campus-wide assessment of all the doors for rekeying. That means looking at the locks, the thickness ofthe door, and what whether the door is wood or metal," said Chief of Campus Safety, Ed Malone. The two-week assessment, aided by a Best Locks representative, is to replace existing locks with locks from the same company. Depending on the value secured, the expense of each lock will vary. Presently all locks on the campus have different manufacturers and different sperifications."Thatf s what our problem is." said Malone. "We don'thave standardizedlocks." "It takes more money to pay a locksmith to fix a cheap lode than to buy a new one," said Malone, explaining the problems with unstandardized locks. The unstandardized locks also mean that it takes more time to replace keys if they are stolen or lost. The key blanks (the part ofthe key that gets held when it is used) are different for each manufacturer. To replace the keys, all different manufacturers must be contacted. By having all the keys come from Best Locks, the problem is eliminated. "It is the best type of mechanical system," Malone said. Unlike other locks used, the company's locks have interchangeable cores. In case a lock needs to be repaired or changed, instead of disassembling the doorknob, the core(the key hole) is removed and replaced with a key. This is time saving and cost efficient. Also, a factory which makes the locks distribute them directly tothecompany,meaningthelocks can't be purchased ort the street. "You can't just go to a local locksmith and have him make a duplicate. The keys for the locks are not available over the counter," said Malone. Malone admits this kind of lock is more expensive. But the cost will be unknown until Best Locks representatives figure in the amount for doors that need to be rekeyed. In thelongrunitsaves money because of the removable core.
