He will be transferring to Santa Clara University to work as the Bon Appetit general manager there. "This is a huge opportunity. It's definitely a bigger campus and a bigger student body which is what makes it a bigger opportunity," Soto said. "Profes sionally it's a very difficult opportunity to pass up." The general manager at Santa Clara was promoted to district manager thus creating an opening for a new general manager. Coincidentally, the previous general manager at Santa Clara was also the general manager at Whittier prior. Currently, Soto oversees a total of four salaried managers. When he starts at Santa Clara he -will have a staff of eight salaried managers and a catering service eight times larger than that which Bon Appetit runs at Whittier.

Economy affects Whittier's endowment Shelley Converse-Rath STAFF WRITER Whittier College has had the ,benefit of many donors and alumni that contribute largely to the funding for student scholarships, library resources, athletic programs, building renovations and faculty recruitment. However, with the economy affecting a variety of programs and businesses, some students are concerned that the endowment, particularly the money allotted for student scholarships, will be affected negatively. It is a legitimate concern, as endowments are responsible for the scholarships and internships of 75 percent of the undergraduate population at Whittier. Some colleges have already reported rapid depletion in their endowment funds. Swarthmore College's funds have fallen roughly 15 percent in the time period of June to mid-October, from $1.4 billion to under $1.2 billion. Rutgers University's endowment is down 20 percent, from $548 million to $443 million as of Oct. "The college is in a strong financial position all things considered." Elizabeth Power-Robinson Vice President of Advancement 17. Financial analysts note that losses for some colleges could climb more than thirty percent by next year. Some students' families, hit hard by the financial crisis, fear they will need more financial aid next year that the school will not be able to provide; in fact, several colleges are considering hiking the price in their tuition, which would worsen many students' financial situations.

For years now, the Lancer Society has gone through much scrutiny tied to their annual event, formerly known as 'Erotic City.' This controversy prompted a meeting last summer for the consideration of a name change. "The college was receiving calls from local neighbors and pastors really mischaracterizing the event," Coleman said. "And with that came a huge rush of calls." Just days before the event last year, President Sharon Herzberger sent out a campus- wide e-mail asking students to reconsider attending. "When we really thought about it, if it was just the name that caused the controversy, then it wasn't worth fighting over with the administration," Lancer Senior Dan Castillo said. "So we agreed with their logic." Coleman also felt that the event's bad publicity was overshadowing the Lancers' good deeds, such as their weekly volunteer work at Saint Methias. Over the summer, the Lancers and administration voted and reached a mutual decision on the new name Adam and Eve.' While the theme remains the same, the negativity surrounding it has died down. "Erotic City obviously derives certain negative feelings out of people," Castillo said. "Now that's one less thing they can complain about."
