Opinions Editor "Stop talking and listen," Dean of Students Dave Leonard said while presiding over the inauguration of senior Associated Students of Whittier College President Jeff Cleveland. While it seems from Cleveland's speech that the policy of the new Council of Representatives (COR) will be just that, the lunchtime crowd at the Campus Inn (C.I.) continued to converse during the half-hour ceremony. The ceremony began at 12:30 p.m. with a brief speech fromjun- i or COR Vice President Jenna Desormier. Desormier said that the inauguration ceremony was one of many moves by COR to make the student government more visible to the student body. The tradition of a COR President Inauguration was implemented last year. After he was sworn in, Cleveland gave a speech outlining his vision for the upcoming year in COR. He began by saying that most people don't usually consider COR in their daily lives, and that was the way things should be. He said that government is "really more of a burden" than it should be, and that his administration would work on letting students focus on their own concerns.

"As a first-year student, Idon't know anything about COR, because I don't pay attention. I don't care," she said. "It's not a huge issue that's important to me. That's why we vote—so that the people I vote for can take charge, and take care of stuff I don't want to deal with." Cleveland emphasized that "I may not know much about A.O.K.P., the Photo Club or what's going on in Stauffer this week, but I do know people, and I like you people." He said that the duties of COR include the allotment of student body fees and the opening of lines of communication between students and organizations. He also outlined the agenda of the new COR body, which includes launching an A.S.W.C. website, establishing a COR Instant Messenger account (ASWC2K1) and moving the Public Voice section of the weekly COR meetings to the start of the agenda. [For further detail of COR's 2001 goals, see story, page 7] Giving a brief word of advice to the incoming COR administration, Leonard urged them to be more responsive to the needs of the students and to listen to their concerns.

Nobuth looks forward to "do[ing] my fair part to enhance the community of Whittier College" through his service on COR. According to Nobuth, his main objective as Treasurer will be to maximize the amount of money given to clubs and organizations. "I want to do what other people weren't able to do," Nobuth said. Junior newly inaugurated COR President Jeff Cleveland praised Nobuth's vision of transforming the office of Treasurer from a barrier to a resource. Ac- Prithvi Nobuth. cording to Cleveland, Nobuth was appointed due to his "service vision for what the job is." Cleveland feels that Nobuth will be able to help students do things instead of serving as a roadblock. Nobuth feels that the new COR Administration will enable him to accomplish a great deal in increasing distribution of money to the augurated Cleveland, asking him to uphold the ideals of COR and to serve the students of Whittier College. student body. "The new Executive Council is a bunch of very effective people," Nobuth said. "It's not just a one-man show. There's a great deal of trust there. I trust my Budget Committee. I trust the Executive Council. I know that when they' ve been given a job, they'll do it." Nobuth's plans for renovating the office of Treasurer include holding four information meetings for club treasurers prior to spring budgeting and increasing communication so students better understand the procedures involved with applying for funds. Nobuth's previous experience includes service as the Treasurer of the Society of Physics Students and Sigma Pi Sigma, the Physics Honors Society. He is also the Vice President of Inter-Club and an active member of the Economics Club. He has previously served as the President of his high school student body and Inter-Club. J unior Jeff Cleveland was sworn into COR office on Wednesday, Jan. 31 by Dean of Students Dave Leonard. College Limits File-Sharine Access ■ ONLINE MUSIC by Amy Stice QC News Editor Contrary to the assumptions of students who have not been able to access Napster or other online music services from on- campus computers, Director of Computing and Telecommunication Services Troy Greenup claims that the College has not banned such services. Rather, he says, traffic incurred from services like Napster is now tightly managed so as not to slow on-campus computers attempting to perform other online functions, such as websurfing. While the Napster website remains accessible on campus, according to student reports, attempts to download files now result in the site sticking in "searching" mode rather than actually locating and downloading a file. Other music file-sharing sites, such as iMesh and Gnutella, produce similar results. According to Greenup, "Applications like Napster are designed to use as much network bandwidth as they can consume. If left unchecked, Napster would easily account for the majority of our total bandwidth." He says that some other colleges have disallowed Napster for this reason.
