Kevin McGlynn, ASWC President; Melissa Chabran, Community Liaison; and Nicole Winger, Freshman President, attended the conference in which 70 people from colleges and universities across the country participated. Schools in attendance included: University ofVirginia, Duke University (NC) and Barnard College (NY). Don McCabe, professor of Business Management at Rutgers University (NJ) and organizer of the event, presented a survey which dealt with a comparative analysis of student and faculty academic integrity based on findings from 28 schools that participated in the study. The emphasis of the conference, held March 5-7, was discussion of academic integrity and presentations of different schools' honor codes, McGlynn said. As Whittier is in the process of considering the possibility of adopting an honor code, McCabe invited members of BOG to attend in order to get exposure to other schools codes. Prior to the conference, the BOG members met with Princeton University's honor council in order to find out how their honor code works. The conference, McGlynn said, was beneficial because it allowed him to learn about how other schools have implemented honor codes. "We got exposure to a lot of different honor codes from differentschools,"McGlynnsaid. Chabrdn said that the conference was "really educational... I hope that all of the information that we learned can be conveyed to the students." Lodging for participants of the conference was paid for by Bell Atlantic of New Jersey and New Jersey Bell telephone companies. BOG and President James Ash's office are sharing the travel expenses; estimated at $1300, McGlynn said. Information that McGlynn, Chabran and Winger obtained from the conference will be instrumental in the completion of the current proposed honor code for Whittier College.

According to the official report, the theft was reported by Donna Smith, administrative assistant for the Scholar's program. Juana Ortiz, housekeeper, said she noticed that the door was unlocked when she arrived that morning, but she did not enter the office. Initially it was suspectedtnat the burglar had entered the office through the window, but Malone said, "There is no way that someone could have gotten into the office through the window from the outside" due to a spring lock mechanism on the window. "The point of entry had to be the door," he continued. "There were no signs of forced entry, so the the intruder either had a key or access to a key."

Junior business major Kevin McGlynn said Clawson's "views on management and business were in contrast to the books, and brought a realm of the real world" into the classroom. Charles Laine, chairman of the Business department, said Clawson "was an excellent teacher because he had a nice combination of academic training plus practical business experience." Accordingto Laine, Clawson was "a person with a variety of interests." Laine described Clawson as someone who "had written television scripts for M*A*S*H (but never had them produced), as well as being an amateur baseball player who had gotten a hit off of (Hall of Famer) Bob Feller at an exhibition game." Wendy Guthrie, class of 1991, a former student of Clawson's, said, "He kind ofkept to himself, but was always open, willing to talk. He had a great impact on students." This impact, many said, was not only in the classroom but outside as well. Dave Anderson, junior business major, said, "He was very open to students and their suggestions ... he would bring up a point and wanted our opinions." McGlynn added, "He was very student oriented."
