See Campus Life, page 7. COR internal budget regulated, not limited ■ GOVERNMENT by Rebecca Wolf QC Managing Editor The Council ofRepresentatives (COR) voted to require the Executive Council to present an itemized estimate of their projected internal budget, and rejected amendments that would have limited the amount of student body fees COR can spend on themselves at the meeting on Monday, Nov. 5. Junior At-Large Member Carrie Stone proposed the constitutional amendments "to help clarify the Constitution and further strengthen the accountability of the Executive body and all of COR." The amendment to require an itemized budget passed 10-4 with the three voting members of the Executive Council voting against it. "You want an estimate, that's itemized and it's rough on top of that—what's the point?" senior Treasurer Prithvi Nobuth. In a separate interview, Nobuth Letters! Whittier responded to our calls for letters in droves. Opinions, Page 3 said, "This administration has been very transparent with it's spending. ... When you elect people, they have a responsibility to be transparent. It doesn't have to be in the Constitution." Stone said that she wanted to use this administration's budget as an example for future administrations. "What the current presidency did is a good example of what should be done," Stone said. "But if it's not in the Constitution how will future administrations know what to do?" The second amendment proposed by Stone would have limited the COR internal budget to eight percent of COR's allotment of student body fees. The COR Administrative Committee, headed by senior Vice President Jenna Desormier, recommended the limit be raised to 15% based on previous internal budgets and to account for fluctuations in the size of the student body. Stone's amendment also required that any additional spending would need to be approved by the body of COR. Senior President Jeff Cleveland said in the meeting that it was important to leave the internal expenditures up to the Executive Council. Cleveland said that at the beginning of this semester before COR's first meeting, the Office of Student Activities asked for money from COR for the annual Activities Fair and that with this amendment COR would not have been able to help. "I don't think there should be any limit to how much the Executive Council can spend," Nobuth said. "We need to be able to spend money on things that will help the student body." Stone said that limiting the internal budget would require the Executive Council to plan their spending and allow for a contingency fund. "It would mean that more money would go to clubs and organizations," Stone said. "I give $60 of my money to COR and I expect it to be spent on clubs and organizations."

News Editor A site team from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), a regional accrediting agency for secondary schools, colleges and universities, will be returning for a periodic on-site visit of the Whittier College campus from Monday, Nov. 12 through Friday, Nov. 9, evaluating the College in order to potentially reaffirm its current accreditation. The site team will be made up of approximately eight "college professors and administrators from all over the country," according to Professor of English Language and Literature and Editor ofthe WASC report Wendy Furman-Adams. It will be led by President of Allegh eny College in Meanville, Penn., Richard Cook. Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dean ofthe Faculty, and Accreditation Liaison Officer to WASC David Muller emphasized the importance of having a representative from a school similar to Whittier, such as Allegheny, heading the visit while working with WASC to form Whittier's site team. "I'm really delighted with our site team because they will understand our issues and understand a private liberal arts school.... Each site team relies on the expertise of the experts," Muller added. Upon arrival the team will be housed in Johnson House. Tuesday, they will begin meeting with faculty, administrative and student groups, interviewing, attending classes and visiting the campus and having availability to have access See WASC, see page 6 Fong named Marshall finalist ■ SCHOLARSHIP by Amy Stice QC Editor-in-Chief If nothing else, it is an occasion to buy a suit.
