Ashby, QC Staff Writer The Whittier College library has recently purchased an IBM compatible computer to link with a network at the University of Southern California. The Electronic Library Consortium (ELC) was joined by Whittier so that students could have access to a broader range of information services at USC according to Joe Dmohowski, director of special collections. Members of the consortium have access to information via personal computers. As of now, the only access Whittier College has is in the Wardman Library at the computer terminal in the northeast section of the reference room on the first floor. Services Available The system is not fully operational as of yet, but some services of the consortium, including borrowing USC materials, are available to Whittier students and faculty. What can be used right now via computer are the magazine indexes and the card catalog. Databases currently available, besides the two above, are management contents, computer abstracts, and trade industry indices. Dmohowski said that the access to USC's library holdings will be current from 1976 forward. Ready by April While the system isn't fully operational because of unavailable facilities, the program will "definitely happen," said Dmohowski.

Photos by Matthew Taylor <—}- Campus Car Accident Leaves Student in Hospital Four Days By Tonya Lockman, QC Staff Writer A collision between a car and a motorcycle occurred on Sunday, March 13, on Earlham drive just outside the Redwood building. Robert Scott Spencer, driver of the motorcycle, suffered a broken leg and was hospitalized for four days. Cheri Brown, driver of the car, was not hurt. Sergeant Richard Hardy of the Whittier Police Department said that no court action will be taken against either party as a result of the accident. Collision at Redwood According to Captain Don Blackman of Whittier College security, Brown was exiting west out of the Redwood driveway at approximately 6 pm and collided with Spencer who was traveling west on Earlham. The collision happened as Brown entered the street. Brown said she could not see past the bushes, pulled forward a little, and saw Spencer. She hit the brakes, but it was too late and the car and the motorcycle hit. From Spencer's perspective, he was driving down Earlham and saw Brown pulling out. His brakes locked up and his leg slid between the motorcycle and the car. He then flipped over the car and slid on the pavement. No One at Fault Hardy stated "neither party was completely at fault. As Brown came out of the driveway she failed to yield when trying to see past some bushes. But the motorcycle was going too fast for the surrounding area." Hardy cited the narrowness of the roadway, the parking on both sides of the street, and the bushes near the road as factors in the surroundings that Spencer should have been more aware of. Brown said the accident was her fault technically because she did not yield. However she did not get a citation because the police took Spencer's speed into consideration. Spencer claims his speed was "about 30," which in a 25 mile per hour zone is "not too fast." "The bushes in front of Redwood need to be cut," stated Brown. "They block the view of the street." To prevent future collisions, Brown said people should "look more carefully and slow down." Spencer stated that he' 'doesn't blame her |Brown] for the accident" adding "people are coming down too hard on her." College Accidents According to Blackman. car accidents happen "fairly often" on or near the campus. He is "surprised there aren't more accidents on Earlham. |Earlham| can be dangerous because it is so heavily congested during the day'' Blackman added that Painter street could be potentially dangerous also. "The traffic is just like a freeway," Blackman stated. Tax Information See Page 2. I Actors Of f-Campus See Page 4. I, Narrow Lacrosse Loss See Page 8.
