Among these are the student media outlets, student activities offices, and a new bookstore and revamped club space. What was formerly known as the Office of Student Activities is now called LEAP, or Leadership, Experience and Programs Office. It is located on the north side of the bottom floor of the Campus Center next to the bookstore. The new office has essentially the same features as the old OSA, as well as hous- ingthe Ahmanson CLi'tural Center. The office moved over the summer from their previous location in the Hastings House opposite Stauffer Hall. On the opposite side of the first floor are the mailboxes; as well as Mail and Copy Services. The box numbers are the same for boxes that were previously numbered 8709 or below, but all other boxes have a new number. All of the boxes have new combinations which can be obtained with a photo ID from the mailroom window. The Quaker Campus newspaper and Acropolis yearbook offices have been moved from the basement of Hoover to just inside the first floor of the Campus Center. Opposite these offices, there is also a new video production studio. KPOET also has a new office,with the window of the new radio studio facing the courtyard. Alongside student publications, the ASWC Senate has been moved from the depths of Hoover to the first floor of the Campus Center. Perhaps one of the largest spaces on the first floor is Bill and Harriet's Club 88. Formerly known as The Club, the new space is now equipped with a better sound system and better looking interior. There is even a box office adjacent to Club 88. Career Planning has moved to the second floor of the campus center on the southwest end abutting the CI. This space houses internship programs as well as offices for off-campus programming.

New faces on campus Andrew Leggett COPY EDITOR This fall, Whittier acquired new professors across several departments. The recent additions to the schools faculty come from all over the country and bring new energy to the school's classes. Here are some details on the new faculty members: Jeff Cain, Visiting Assistant Professor of Art Degrees: Whittier '99, B. A. Whittier Scholars Program double major in Art and 20th Century Cultural Studies; MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in Integrated Media. Experience: Adjunct and visiting artist at California Institute of the Arts, Southern California Institute of Architecture, and UCLA extension. Exhibited work most recently in the Busan Biennale in South Korea and the California Video exhibition at the Getty Center. His artwork focuses on digital media as a multidis- ciplinary research device to create installations and community-based projects. Why Whittier?: "I saw a real opportunity to help develop an interdisciplinary digital arts curriculum at a school and department for which I have great respect."

The article, written by Opinions Editor Marissa Leonardi, made inaccurate assumptions about the reasons Whittier College installed the Sprinturf Ultrablade DF synthetic turf. The assumptions suggested that Whittier College and Whittier College Athletics Department had deliberately ignored the wellbeing and health of their student-athletes and students. The article also wrongly assumes that the installation of the turf was a "strictly economic decision." In the article, assumptions were stated incorrectly as fact. We retract these statements. The Quaker Campus apologizes for printing the inaccurate and potentially harmful assumptions.
