Students throw food Other people clean it up Fulbright for Wagner Second faculty member in one year awarded prestigious scholarship FACULTY by Eva Sevcikova QC News Editor It may be hard to be abroad, away from your relatives and friends for a whole semester. It may be even harder to leave if your twin daughters each gave birth to a set of twins just recently. For Professor of Education and Child Development and Director of Broadoaks Judith Wagner this may be the hardest part. Wagner is the second Whittier College professor this year who received the prestigious national Ful bright Scholarship award to go to Denmark. She joins Assistant Professor of Sociology Zhidong Hao who was awarded one three weeks ago [see story in Volume 88 Issue 22]. As a scholar Wagner is interested in how the social and emotional development in children is connected with their intellectual development. Now it seems that because of her most recent accomplishment, she will have to miss several months out of her grandchildren's lives.

The food fight did not last more than a minute at lunch time on Thursday, April 11, but by the time it was over, almost half of the Campus Inn (C.I.) was covered in tuna fish, salad and peas. After the incident, the C.I. staff was left with cleaning up the mess and had to request help from the Maintenance Department. According to Custodial Supervisor Maria Cruz, she spent about three and a half hours cleaning, together with Custodian Jose Mora. "We had to clean and shampoo the carpets, all before dinner," she said. "The worst part was the ceiling—there was salsa and ketchup all over. It was a lot of work, and it was very tiring." The floor was covered with fries, burgers and remains of food and the staff also had to clean the hallway outside the C.I. to get rid of soda and strawberry Jell-o, Cruz said. "I would not expect this kind of behavior," Cruz said. "If we were to charge them, we could easily charge them $150. I just hope they don't do this next year. Please!" It is not known why it started, but according to Head Football Coach Bob Owens and Head Men's Lacrosse Coach Doug Locker, athletes from the two athletic teams were involved, and there "will be retribution."

News Editor The Council of Representatives (COR) will launch their new Web site, The Daily Poet, today. The Web site offers students a variety of services including teacher evaluations, a book exchange and campus classifieds. As part of this Web site launch, COR will also be offering a five-night trip to Kapalua Maui, Hawaii. According to junior COR President Jess Craven, the Web site has been an ongo ing project for the past year. "[Former A.S.W.C. President] Jeff Cleveland appointed me last year, and it's been a continuation," Craven said. "We're trying to expand services, things COR has never done. Jeff initiated the idea and we're trying to take it a step further." According to Craven, Bluestone Design, anout-of- state company, was hired- to establish the site. For the past few months Craven has been working on the site. After the launch of the Web site, however, sophomore Ghalib Bel- lo will be the official webmaster, a work-study position created this year, Craven said. The Daily Poet offers students a great deal of resources. "All the major features we thought of this year," Craven said. "We looked at the top five student body websites according to Student Leader magazine and combined the most desired features of these five to utilize them on ours, and then added what we thought our student body needs." The site will contain COR positions available, updated minutes of COR meetings, and the COR treasury report.

While the nature of the complaint filed by the man on the same night of the incident is a personnel issue and could not be revealed, "the matter is under in vestigation," Assistant Chief of Campus Safety John Lewis said. The student involved in the incident opted not to comment when asked for an interview by a QC reporter. The Resident Advisor who responded to the initial noise disturbance could not comment on the incident. According to the Campus Safety report, a Resident Advisor contacted Campus Safety when the residents he confronted for violating quiet hours did not comply. When Corporal Kenny Walton and Officer Jessica Davila responded, they encountered three males sitting in a room with loud music, drinking alcohol, the report stated. The students were uncooperative, and one of them demanded that he be allowed to finish his bear. "He then chugged the beer and belched loudly right in front of the officer," Lewis said. According to the report, the men were very intoxicat ed and there was a strong odor of alcohol in the room. The man then left the room, while Campus Safety remained there to question the resident of the room. "This guy then forced the door open and said that he wanted the rest of his beer," Lewis said. Walton closed the door and again attempted to speak with the resident in the room, according to the report. The man pushed the door open again and Walton, who was stand ing behind the door, was "struck in his left arm and the back, [the significant force] pushing him forward off-balance," the report states. Walton then stepped out into the hallway and saw the student attempting to enter his own room. "[Walton] pushed him on a sofa and sat on his right hip area, face down and slightly on his side," the report says. Out in the hallway, the confrontation between the stu dent and Campus Safety continued, full of threatening and cussing, including an antagonistic gesture on the side of the student, Lewis related from the report. Campus Safety finally calmed him down and confiscated the beer for safekeeping, which was later released to him, Lewis said. All men involved were over 21.
