Other projects included tributes to former President John F. Kennedy, Jon-Benet Ramsey and former Director of Athletics Dave Jacobs. Adkins leaves Bon Appetit FOOD SERVICES by Rose Ochoa QCAsst. News Editor "Following four years of service, David Adkins, General Manager of our Food Service, has left to explore new opportunities," read the e-mail sent by Vice President of Finance and Administration Jan Legoza to faculty and facilities last Thursday. District Manager of Bon Appetit J. P. Dozier, who made the decision to change the management, was not able to discuss Adkins' departure in order to "protect Dave's interests and privacy." Dozier confirmed that Adkins is no longer with Bon Appetit and that former Whittier College Catering and Cafe Manager Lori Flash- ner filled his position last Tuesday. 'After four years at Whittier, it was just too long to be sitting in one place," Dozier said. "I felt it was time for a new vision.... I am pretty confident that Lori Flashner will do a good job and take us forward," he added. Flashner, who has been working with Whittier College since last summer, has also been joined by the new Assistant Manager Juliana Ng, who will work primarily in the Campus Inn (C.I.). "I think she is going to help us very much with the food vision in the C.I.," Flashner said about the new staff addition. Flashner has two key elements to better the food program at Whittier College. She wants a fresh vision in the type and presentation in the food program. According to Flashner, that comes with increased Wingfield does it again Scholar-athlete reaches final stage of Rhodes competition; will interview this Saturday. by Meredith Wallis QC Copy Editor She hurried through LAX, holding her carry-on (which had the perfect, not-quite-formal dress and a sensible pair of black heels) and clutching an outdated copy of the New York Times that an anxious friend had thrown at her for last- minute plane prep. On Monday, Dec. 3, senior Ashley Wingfield was on her way to Colorado for a reception and an interview to qualify for the state candidacy of the Rhodes Scholarship. She had spent the weekend thinking up ways to talk about Afghanistan, United Nations' policy, and internally displaced people; she had combed journals and read old class notes, and she was nervous. "I was so scared that I swear I lost feeling in my legs on the car ride over to the reception," Wingfield said. "I was afraid I wouldn't be able to talk." But talk she did—at the reception, sipping a glass of ice water ("I didn't think the wine was such a good idea"), at the interview, fielding questions on how to rebuild Afghanistan ("I used Mozambique as a case-study"), and lacrosse ("I explained the difference between men's and women's in detail, but left out the part about Queen Victoria. ... It would have been going overboard"). She talked her way right into being one of the two state candidates, moving on to the regional interviews at the end of the week. Wingfield left Los Angeles, fearing the Inquisition, but "the Rhodes committee and all the applicants were exceptionally nice and relaxed." She did not expect to win. "They had everyone sit in a room to announce the two who would be chosen to go to regionals, and I told the girl next to me that it was like a beauty pageant, and that I felt like we should hold hands and prepare to wave and cry, 'Who me? no! me?'" Wingfield might have been surprised, but no one else is. As Professor of Political Science Mike McBride said, "She is someone who clearly deserves this recognition. She epitomizes not only the qualities we are looking for in our student-athletes, but also the Quaker QC FILE PHOTO Ashley Wingfield. values of leadership and service that are such an important part of Whittier's heritage." Wingfield will be flying to Houston for the final reception and interview. Four students total will be chosen on Saturday to be Rhodes Scholars for her region, which includes Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, and Montana. There are a total of 32 Rhodes scholars chosen annually. This isn' t the first time her name has appeared on the front page, and if everything goes 'veil this weekend, it won't be the last. Turner Hall plagued by multiple false fire alarms See FOOD, page 4 Solution to false alarms? Lewis suggests equipment that would mark the perpetrator. by Eva Sevcikova QC Asst. News Editor Three false fire alarms awakened Turner Hall residents early Sunday, Dec. 2, forcing the evacuation of all the hall's residents. The first fire alarm sounded through the hallways at 5 a.m., and the situation was repeated only one hour and eighteen minutes later. The piercing shriek of the fire alarm sounded for the third time at 8:22 a.m. Each time a pull station was pulled on a different floor on the north side of the building, Asst. Chief of Campus Safety John Lewis said. As students repeatedly marched into the cold morning weather covered in blankets and holding pillows, many voiced their annoyance. Senior Jennifer Taraba put on her clothes from the night before and had time to snatch a blanket the second time around. "I was really upset about it going off so frequently. At first, I thought it was a power surge," Taraba said. "When I found out that someone was pulling it, I was pissed off. It was just apain; it was Sunday morning and everybody was really tired. I am concerned because now people may not take fire alarms seriously." Senior Jason McKissick was equally upset. "This is an issue that needs to be dealt with and correct ed," he said referring to the prank behavior. McKissick also said that he had moved out of Stauffer Hall to get away from the fire alarms. "Do I have to move out of Turner now?" he asked. "We can assume it was the same people, but no suspects were seen," Lewis said. "This is a very disruptive behavior, especially at this time of the year." Lewis suggested the importance of a more sophisticated fire system, such as dye packets attached to the pull stations identifying the person tempering with fire equipment. No injuries were reported, but if there were injuries related to the evacuation of the residence hall, the perpetrator(s) would face charges of felony and up to 10 years in jail. "This isn't funny; this is bad business," Lewis said. ISSUE 13 • VOLUME 88 Letters and the Law Brrr... Rants range from racism to Sportsfest to those COR flyers floating around campus. Read 'em.
