December 5,2002 QUAKER CAMPUS Craven and Nobuth resign, cite problems with O.S.A. http://web.whittier.edu/qc COR by Christina Gutierrez QC News Editor Senior COR President Jess Craven and senior COR Treasurer Prithvi Nobuth resigned from their positions on Wednesday, Dec. 4. The two cited insurmountable problems with Director of Student Activities Barney Peake as the reason for their resignation. Craven and Nobuth's decision comes at the end of their term, shortly before Craven will be replaced by junior COR president-elect Zach Winters, who will then appoint a new treasurer. Until then, junior COR Vice-President Todd Spanier will take on the responsibilities of both the president and treasurer. In a statement submitted to the Quaker Campus, Craven and Nobuth said, "When in the course of Whittier College events it becomes necessary for dedicated, hard working members of the Student Government to resign, it is an obvious indication of severe and unprecedented atrocities against the goals and progress of the body." "Our resignation is not intended to be a message to students, it is a message for students. It is directed towards the administration, and those who genuinely care about Whittier College." Seniors Jess Craven and Prithvi Nobuth The statement then lists Peake's alleged misdeeds against COR and the A.S.W.C, which include accusations of his mishandling the A.S.W.C. account and making inconsistent policy decisions.

Peake said that the two executive council members' resignations came as a surprise. "I have tried to work with [COR] throughout the year," he said. "Sure, there were things that [Craven and Nobuth] couldn't do, but there are specific policies and procedures that have to be followed, and, as the COR advisor, I had to draw the line somewhere." Topping the list of complaints against Peake was the allegation that he "has shown a blatant disregard for the A.S.W.C. constitution." In an interview, Peake expressed confusion. "I've tried to work with COR [on this issue], and I've brought up at COR meetings some instances when COR was going against the constitution. There has been no 'disregard' as far as I know, he said."

See page 6 for full story Stauffer and Tohnson residence halls re-cored ■ KEYS by Christina Gutierrez QC News Editor As a result of the theft of a set of submaster keys that fit all the locks in the Johnson and Stauffer Residence Halls on Friday, Nov. 15, the two buildings were entirely fitted with new lock cores on Sunday, Dec. 1. According to Stauffer and Johnson Halls Area Coordinator Anne Ehrlich, the estimated cost for replacing the keys and the cores was $3,900. She dispelled a common student worry, however, by assuring that "the cost will be covered by the Office of Residential Life, [and] no students will be charged." According to a Campus Safety report, a Resident Advisor (R.A.) from Stauffer Hall's second floor left his room to visit a resident at approximately 1 a.m. on Friday. He reportedly left the room "unsecured and unattended" for a forty-minute period, leaving the keys on his desk. When he returned, the set of keys was missing. The R.A., however, did not notice their absence until the next morning, when he called the Office of Residential Life and Campus Safety to report the alleged theft. According to Assistant Chief of Campus Safety John Lewis, there "A lost or stolen submaster is an extremely rare occurrence but, as with any safety-related issue, it is one that we take extremely seriously." Anne Ehriich Stauffer and Johnson Halts Area Coordinator are currently no suspects in the case. "Every effort was made to recover the stolen keys, but they never materialized," Ehrlich said. "Residential Life and Campus Safety then collaborated to set the wheels in motion to change all the locks in both buildings." According to Lewis, each submaster key on the ring opened all of the doors in a single floor of Stauffer or Johnson, as well as all of the outside doors. "We're talking about 180 doors here," Lewis said. "Each door needs three keys, one for each of the roommates and one for Residential Life. That makes 540 keys. That's a lot of keys." Although Residential Life ordered the keys from an outside company, Campus Safety still had to engrave the keys with their respective numbers and change all of the lock cores in both residence halls, a process which Lewis called "no small task." R.A.s distributed the new keys to residents on Sunday. Since the keys allowed access not only to the buildings themselves, but also to all ofthe residents' rooms within both Residence Halls, the missing keys created a significant safety risk, Ehrlich said.
