Honor Code Back in Action
By Caitlin Duffy
Managing Editor
BOG, which is in the process
of making final revisions to a
proposed honor code, sent three
members to a conference in
Newark, NJ last week, titled
"Academic Integrity in the
1990s."
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.

by an Ad-Hoc committee in the
fall of 1990 in order to put forth

Computer Equipment   Whittier   Professor
Stolen; No Suspects      Clawson Remembered
By Jennifer Buddemeyer
Assistant News Editor
An estimated $1630 worth of
computer equipment was stolen
from Wardman Hall on two
separate occasions last month,
according to Campus Safety
Chief Ed Malone.
On the night of Feb. 10, the
computer of Richard Archer,
Associate Director of the
Whittier Scholar's Program and
professor of history, was stolen
from his office in Wardman Hall.
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."

students and fellow colleagues
used to describe Tom Clawson,
associate professor of business
administration, who died last
week after suffering from a heart
attack.
Clawson began at Whittier
in 1988 teaching "Business
Policy,"" Business in Society,"
and 'International Business."
Before coming to Whittier,
he had worked as a manager in

years with Ford aerospace.
While working for Ford,
Clawson got his Bachelor of Arts
degree, at the age of 45. He was
53 years old when, in 1988, he
got his Ph.D. from Ciaremont
Graduate School.
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."
Dusty Brunson, a junior
business major who was doing
research for Clawson on a book
he was writing about
management, said, "He was
knowledgeable    not    only
