Ul..w.n I VY\/I MnmKnr Cnnr ^ ' C\^*r^.n.r A IQfiQ Volume LXXV1, Number Four October 4, 1989 Police Investigating another campus assault. By Chris Perkins QC Editor-in-Chief According to Whittier Police Department files, investigation is underway of the second reported attempted rape on the Whittier College campus in the last two weeks. The report stated that the victim, a female freshman at the college whose identity was not disclosed, was accosted on the unlit dirt path leading from Wardman Hall to the Harris Residence Center last Sunday, Oct. 1, between 12:30-1:00 a.m. There are as of yet no suspects in the case. The attacker was described as a white male about 25 years old and approximately 5'10". A more complete description was unavailable at press time. Officer Jeff Heintz of the Whittier Police Department said that the woman stated that she had been returning to her dorm from the Club when the incident allegedly occurred. She stated that she had been drinking, and that as she walked back to her dorm she was crying as the result of an argument with a man she had been dating. She said she was grabbed by the assailant and thrown to the ground approximately six feet from the path, according to Heintz. She said the man then straddled her and threatened her with a small pocket knife. The report states that the assailant then began to unbutton the victim's cut-off blue jean shorts, but fled when he thought he heard voices from people coming up the path. The alleged victim sustained superficial injuries that did not require medical attention, according to Sandra Sarr, college director of public relations. Sarr stated that the woman did exhibit small scratches which the victim described as knife wounds. Further information on the reported crime was not available at press time. lill^if&i^ ::: ::--'^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^'--- ^^^^^^M^M ^^^^M^-.'.i^W^IWB ISP mSS'B Iffllll^ . '*'^f'^ W !

Archer Puts Faculty In Students' Dorms Dealing With Safety On College Campuses By Danielle Diego QC News Editor "None, that we know of," said Captain Don Blackman, deputy director of security, when asked how many assaults have ever occurred on the campus. "Whittier is the third safest city of the 25 or so in the state of California with populations of 60,000-90,000," states figures from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniform Crime Report. However, comforting as this may be, a Reader's Digest news release said that in 1988, college campuses reported 1,990 violent crimes: robbery, aggravated assault, rape, and murder. This statistic is only 10 percent of the overall amount of crimes, "as almost 90 percent of United States colleges do not report crime statistics." According to the Center for the Study and Prevention of Campus Violence at Towson State University in Maryland, 78 percent of violent crimes were committed by students. Advice from Blackman on what a student can do for himself includes, "To be alert as to who and what is around you. Depending on the hour of the day, especially at night: travel in pairs, avoid unlit areas, stick to main thoroughfares and what mothers tells you, Don't talk to strangers.'' Please see ISSUE page 3. Group To Give $180,000 In Unrestricted Money By Suzanne Hoohuli QC Staff Writer The college will have received up to $188,000 in unrestricted monies this fiscal year from an organization called Independent Colleges of Southern California (ICSC), said Susan Pearce, vice president for development. ICSC is a multi-million dollar contribution program. This money is considered valuable because it is "unrestricted," which means there is absolutely no restriction on the usage of the money by the college.' The money can be used for any operating expense including dorm maintenance, electricity, salaries, and scholarships," said Pearce. Each year, the necessity for Please see ICSC page 3. By Anita Rafferty QC Staff Writer A plan called the Faculty Resident Associate program, in which selected professors are assigned to residence halls as advisers, has been instituted at the college in an effort to "have more intergenerational interaction," said Dick Archer, Dean of College Life. "The idea is to place faculty with students in the residence halls for relations to develop.'' The program has been underway since the beginning of the current semester, but only recently has every dorm been assigned an adviser, according to Archer. Archer stated that this was more of an expansion plan because, "there have been faculty advisors in Stauffer Hall from eight to 10 years, and for eight years in Wardman Hall." In addition to the new advisement program already underway, the administration plans to institute a Faculty Master program, in which faculty members and their families will live in housing on campus, by next year, Archer said. Study Aid The new program will be very helpful to students because "faculty members are models of scholarship," said Archer. "They have a belief in the life of the mind and intellect." Raphael Chabran, professor of Spanish , said that many universities already have faculty resident associates living on campus, following England's example. Examples in the United States are: University of California atSan Diego, University of California at Santa Cruz, and Stanford University. Chabran says the purpose of the faculty adviser is not disciplinary: that's what the resident advisers are there for. He also says that they are not there to snoop or get involved in the students' private lives. "The idea is to get more contact with students," said Chabran, "to meet surroundings: and professors have an opportunity to see how students really live." Sophomore Nicki Quesnel, on the other hand, feels that although the accessibility of the teachers would be beneficial, "this is supposed to be |the students'| private life. I don't want them lurking around the corner. I don't think they should be next door." "The idea is to get more contact with students. To meet with them in their own space," Raphael Chabran. with them in their space." Steve Overturf of the economics department, also an associate, said that he wants to encourage students to consider the finer things of life. He said that he would like to include students in activities that he and his wife enjoy, such as eating a good meal, listening to good music, or going to a baseball game. Archer says that each student will be invited to dinner at the President's Dining Room with their faculty associate. He said that while all students are invited, the dinner is not obligatory. Reactions Darra London, a sophomore, said that she thought the Faculty Resident Associate program was a good idea. She said she especially liked the idea '-that students have a chance to speak jwith professors] in their The faculty involved in the Faculty Resident Associate program are Steve Overturf, of the economics department, assigned to lohnson Hall: Amy Mass, of the social work department, assigned to Ball Hall; and Wendy Furman, of the English department, also assigned to Ball Hall. Stationed in Wardman Hall are David Hunt, of the philosophy department; Michael Praetorius, also of the philosophy department; Dr. Archer, of the Whittier Scholars Program; and Jon Moody, of the Whittier Scholars department.
