The Voice Of Whittier College Since 1914 April 25,2002 QUAKER CAMPUS http://web.whittier.edu/qc MARIO NEAVEZ / QC PHOTO EDITOR Football players at work Members of the football team get ready to clean the Campus Inn (C.I.) after lunch on Tuesday, April 23 in their effort to pay back the C.I. staff for a food fight that occured in the facility on Thursday, April 18 [see story in Volume 88, Issue 23]. The players worked in two shifts (1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.) and "thoroughly cleaned the dining chairs and tables. They also wiped down all the wood panel equipment and the food conveyor belt," Director of Food Services Lori Flashner said.

He and Professor of BSAD Charles Laine (who also teaches courses in the Economics Department) are the only two professors who will remain from the current staff to teach business courses. Wu described the decision to leave his tenured posi tion as a "painful" one because of his love for the College.

"I am leaving because I feel that I will have more opportunities to develop the business program there than I do here," he said. "Ever since I came here, I wanted to see more development here."
