QUAKER CAMPUS Volume LXXVII, Number 25 April 25,1991 Student Finds Mutilated Cats and Alter Alongside Harris Pathway By Adam Webster QC Staff Writer The remains of two dead, mutilated cats and articles of clothing were discovered, by a student, off of the path between Harris and Wardman on the afternoon of Tuesday, April 16. An investigation into the incident remains at a stand still, Ed Malone, Director of Campus Safety said. The student, who wishes to remain anonymous due to safety and security reasons, said, 1 was sitting on the benches when I noticed something black down the path about 35-40 feet away. I went down to get a closer look. Then I noticed a beaten down path so, I went further in where I saw clothing and a bag. But I heard people coming up behind me so I didn't look in the bag." The student left the niche where he had spotted the remains when "the people fled to their car." He decided to leave the scene and while doing so, passed a car of people whom he had never seen before. _1 Later that night the student returned to the site with three friends to examine the contents of the bag. In it they found "articles of clothing thatsmelled of sweat, jeans, several trash bags, scraps of material and black facial paint." They also found a piece of paper that had "weird names with slash like markings next to about eight of them," the student said. According to the security report that was filed regarding the incident, the four students went to the Campus Safety office with the contents of the bag and turned them in to the officer on duty, Annette Velasco, who then went to the site to investigate. There, she located "two cats that had been cut in half with some body parts missing." Also noted in Velasco's report was the fact that the students had found an altar about ten feet away from where the bag had been. However, the paper with the unidentified names is not mentioned in the report. Just after midnight the Whittier Police Department was called and approximately 30 minutes later an officer arrived to scout the area. However, he found nothing new and left at 12:55. The next morning when Please see CAT page 5. BOG Increases Student Fees By Kirsten Larsen QC Staff Writer A student body fee increase, has been approved, Alvin Henderson, ASWC President, said. The money received from the students every year is put into a fund to aid the Quaker Campus, the Acropolis, the Board of Governors (BOG) and other campus organizations. "Effective programs cost money," Henderson stated. The increase to $165 is only a nine dollar increase on this year's fees. Freshman Heidi Barker, said, "If it will improve the quality of the programs we're going to have, I'm willing to pay the extra $9." Nevertheless, "arbitrary decisions about this topic present conflicts," Henderson said. He suggested that a derived percentage formula like the one used for the annual tuition increase that would enable the student body fees to increase in an orderly manner. The fees have not been raised since 1986. The lack of finances for the student body means that clubs must independently search for financial resources. Generally the clubs look to the Administration, Faculty Masters and other financial supporters With the increase in fees, the clubs that submit a justifiable proposal will be given between $150 and $200, Henderson said. In comparison to Whittier's $165 fee, Occidental College's is $123 per year; Ciaremont McKenna's is $100 and Redlands' is $200. J^L ■ By Sarah Gammill/ QC Photography Editor Three admitted students try their hand at painting the Rock at one of Sunday's activities for prospectives. Turnout Higher Than Expected at Admitted Students Admissions Faire By Yolanda Juarez QC Staff Writer One hundred and forty four prospective students .attended the President's Reception for admitted students, last Sunday. "Ninety percent of the students whom we invited attended, which is outstanding," Urmi Kar, Associate Director of Admissions, said. President James Ash, the Financial Aid and Admissions Staff, 21 faculty members, and many Whittier College students helped to welcome and inform candidates for the class of 1995. "The goal of the day was to parallel the student's first day at Whittier," Kar stated. Early in the day, a brunch was held at Ash's home for those students who received merit or talent scholarships. Later, presentations were made by several faculty, designed to give incoming students an taste of the Whittier classroom. Alex Rojano, a prospective student from Hacienda Heights found this program interesting: "Whatreally excited me was the presentation by the teachers. I really enjoyed that. It caught my attention." During the day, parents and students were also informed about the Faculty Masters program and were taken on tours of their homes. Information tables were also set up in the quad to expose the admitted students to all aspects of college life, ranging from the Bookstore selling Whittier t-shirts to campus safety to Interclub members. Prospective students were recruited by current society members to help paint the rock purple and gold. Annalee Paulo, who attends St. Joseph High School in Lakewood, commented on the overall atmosphere of the campus. "Everyone seems to know each other by their first name." She compared a recent visit to the Whittier campus to that of a Cal State school: "No one talked. It was almost quiet." Paulo was excited to be able to speak with the students and faculty during her visit (on Sunday). "It was interesting to see more student and teacher interaction." Amy Raat of Santa Ana was one the scholarship recipients. "I'm 99% sure now that I'm coming here (Whittier)," she said. "It's been nice talkingto students; getting their perspective on things." According to Kar the event was timed to be immediately prior the deadline for the student's acceptance decisions. "We are hoping for a record year, but it's still too early to tell," Kar said, of the potentially large freshman class. "There's definitely been a significant increase in applications, but we'll have to wait and see." "We achieved what we wanted to," Kar said.
