"If this cut holds, it is a kick in the teeth to 15 years of a positive building tradition on the Quaker Campus, and it is very disappoint ing," QC Advisor and Adjunct Assistant Professor of lournalism Gary Libman said. The loss of funding came following a Publications Board vote on Friday, Oct. 27 to tentatively allocate $8,253 out of a requested $19,268.75 to the QC. Due to an overall decrease in the funds available through Publications Board this semester, the Board funded only what it deemed absolutely necessary to the production of the newspaper and other on-campus publications, including the Acropolis and Whittier College Radio. See QC MELTDOWN, page 4 Seniors Jaison Battle and Jaime Price-Mitchell were crowned Homecoming King and Queen at halftime of the football game on Saturday, Oct. 28. See story, page 4. Students Divided Over View of COR at Forum ■ FORUM by Amy Stice QC News Editor Approximately 40 students gathered in the chilly air outside the Campus Inn (C.I.) on Thursday, Oct. 26 to discuss the current Council of Representatives (COR) administration and possible actions to remove senior COR President Jonathan Collard from of fice. Although he had previously declared that he would not attend a forum ai med at impeaching him, Collard made a late entrance into the shivering circle, as did numerous current and formerCOR members. However, forum organizers felt that Collard failed to answer questions addressed by the students present. At one point, the forum erupted into a shouting match when COR At-Large member junior Morgan Galli asked Collard why he felt it necessary to add a second vice president to the Executive Council, as he proposes to do at the COR meeting on Monday, Nov. 7. Stating that he was at the forum only "to listen," Collard replied that he would be willing to discuss the potential change in constitutional bylaws at the next open COR meeting held Monday, Oct. 30. After the audience argued that his constituents were Forum organizers sophomore Clancy Neilsen, junior Travis Nass and junior diana guy listen as students discuss concerns regarding the Council of Representatives (COR). present and he should give them answers, Collard replied that he believed the separation of the duties of vice president will be more effective and that he modeled the change after the student government constitutions of U.C.L.A. and U.S.C. Galli protested that Whittier is a small liberal arts college and therefore should not adopt methods of larger institutions' student government; junior and former COR At-Large member Erik Quin- tanacriticized Collard for "amending the wrong parts of the Constitution" by focusing on changes other than what the students at the forum were immediately demanding. Senior Brian Barbercomment- ed to Collard, "You're here to promote our agenda, not yours." Student body members present also raised concerns regarding the recently approved COR Code of Conduct, which dictates that if members of COR wish to negatively comment about the organization to any on-campus publication, they must first discuss their planned statement to COR in a closed meeting [See QC Issue 5, Vol. 87]. Junior COR Secretary Vincent Vigil described the document as aimed at "respecting oth ers' ideas." Barber disagreed. "Why are you creating a sheltered community where people aren't responsible for their own actions?" he asked. "People on COR are threatened by their own organization." Senior Vince Nguyen, who resigned as COR Vice President last semester [see QC Issue 26, Vol. 86], responded that "[Members of COR] can say whatever they want to say. Everyone's just trying to make it a gag order. They really just haven't read their shit. [The Code of Conduct] is talking about respect." Sophomore Clancy Neilsen, who was one of the organizers of the forum, considers the Code of Conduct to be censorship. "When they become members of COR, are they still members of the A.S.W.C?" he asked the audience. "Members of the A.S.W.C. should be allowed to say whatever they want about the college." Galli acknowledged that she had not considered many of the audience members' arguments when she agreed to the Code of Conduct. Stating that she "doesn't agree, now that [she] look[s] back," Galli said that her motiva- See FORUM, page 6 ISSUE 9 • VOLUME 87
