At 9:41 p.m. a male was transported to the hospital from the front porch of Turner Residence Hall due to severe alcohol intoxication. The male stayed overnight and was released at approximately 6 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 2. The male is an alumnus of Whittier, but according to Assistant Chief of Campus Safety John Lewis, he is "very involved in the social life on campus." The male had consumed 20 shots of tequila while pre-party- ing for Erotic City, an amount of alcohol that Lewis said could have been lethal. The Los Angeles County Fire Department, who transported the male to the hospital, gave the College its second citation this year for vehicles blocking the Turner Residence Hall. Two of the vehicles were unregistered and had to be towed; the other vehicle was registered with Campus Safety so the owner was able to be contacted and move the vehicle. "So if you want to get your car towed, park it up at Turner [Residence Hall] and jeopardize everyone's lives up there because it is convenient for you," Lewis said. Two students were also evaluated by paramedics at The Spot during Erotic City; both were determined not to require hospital care. According to Lewis, during one of these instances, a female student was interfering with the treatment of the intoxicated student and had to be escorted out of Erotic City and handcuffed. Two other students who were handcuffed at the entrance to The Club were anxious to get in and fight, according to Lewis.

"They took our china and threw it out the window," Bon Appetit Operations Manager Rich Cowan said. "We found our plates outside on the patio." Cowan said that they suspect the vandal got access to the building through the back kitchen door. "We have an alarm that is set by Campus Safety, but they had not set it yet because the cleaning crews were still here," Cowan said. "We found no damage in the kitchen with all of the refrigerators with food being padlocked, they also did not gain access to the office." Cowan estimates that $300 was lost in plates and linens. "They also broke into a lower storage room where they bleached linens and uniforms," Cowan said. He also said that it was suspected that the vandal thought they could regain access to The Club from the back of the C.I., but there is a wall separating the two. "The most extensive damage was done to the windows," Cowan said. "The glass people were out here Monday, but we are not sure how long it will take to get the windows fixed. Until then, Campus Safety will be watching our doors closely and we are working with them to ensure that the alarm is set each night."

Suspicious odor prompts Harris D evacuation; fire department called The Los Angeles County Fire Department sent several fire trucks to Harris.D Residence Hall to investigate a suspicious odor on Sunday, Nov. 2, at 1:43 a.m. After inspecting the evacuated building, firefighters were unable to detect a smell and the building was reopened to students. Junior Resident Advisor Katie Johnson was the first to report an "unusual smell" to Campus Safety after one of her residents reported the smell to her: "I walked into the resident's room and it really did smell bad and I think it looked kind of hazy, so I called Campus Safety-" According to Assistant Chief Brycie Jones QC News Co-Editor of Campus Safety John Lewis, Campus Safety officers went to investigate and were unable to determine the source of the smell, which the officers described as similar to the smell of "burnt rubber" in the report on the incident. The officers then placed the call to the fire department. "When Campus Safety first came up, they told me to evacuate the building just to be safe," Johnson said. According to Johnson, most of the Harris D residents were present when the building had to be evacuated. The fire department later cleared the building for re-entry after it had completed its investigation. "It smelled pretty bad in Harris so we all hung out on the balcony and it was pretty fun," sophomore Aron Lipkin said. Junior Carolyn Trapp said, "I thought it smelled like pooh, it didn't smell that suspicious." Johnson and Lewis confirmed that the fire department reported no smell or safety hazard. "It is better to have the fire department come out and identify the problem and then be able to eliminate the issue if there is an issue... it isn't like when [the fire department] comes out because someone tampered with fire equipment, so we won't be fined for this incident," said Lewis.
