INDEX News 1, 4-6 Editorial 2,3 Comics/Crossword 7 Features 8-10 Classifieds 9 Arts & Ent. 11-13 Sports 14-16 Students Petition For All-Weather TVack By Julie Amiton News Editor A letter requesting that a portion of the 1989 $18 million bond be used to acquire an all- weather track was submitted to President James Ash last week along with a petition, signed by 323 students, backing the letter. The letter states: "The track in its present condition, while usable, remains shoddy at best, with a plethora of ruts and inconsistencies throughout." It continues, "While we do realize that athletics has never been a priority for funding, we think that a new track would present a healthier, more attractive alternative...a new track would benefit not only the athletic sector ofWhittier College, but the entire community.'' In response Ash will be submitting both the letter and petition to the Task Force for Campus Improvements. According to Ash, "The letter assumes that there is a lot of discretionary money (left from the bond)—that is just not the case; everything has already been committed." "It is either the track or something else," Ash said. Dave Jacobs, Director of Athletics, estimated that the weathering of the track and preliminary projects could range from $900,000 to $1 million dollars. According to Jacobs, before the track could be weatherized, the drainage problem would have be taken care of. However, Skit Mainiero, Vice President for Administration and Finance at the University of La Verne, estimated that based on the costs for a similar track, the total cost could average as follows: $223,718 for an all-weather track; $20,000 to realign the curbing surrounding the track; and $56,676 for the asphalt. Mainiero noted that these are simply rough estimates, and that actual costs may vary depending on the company and the quality ofthe supplies used. Jacobs agreed that the track is in need of repair, and said he would sign the petition but questions where funding would come from. Whittier Woodstock Eric Berg/Assistant Photography Editor The band Voodoo Grove jam at Whittier Woodstock on Monday. Band members include: Kevin Brent (drums), Bruce Puckett (electric guitar), Martin Stuart (saxophone), Derrick Hooks (lead singer) and Chris Erskin (base). Please see page 5 for complete coverage of the event. ^™™™™™™™^ Sarah Gammil/Photography Editor Students want an all-weather track to replace the current one. Track and cross country coach, GregPhillips, agreed with Jacobs. According to Phillips, every year Whittier loses students because it does not have an all-weather track. "As prospective students come up and see the facility, we don't have a chance of having the student attend our school," Phillips said. Currently, only three Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference schools 0^a Verne, Occidental College and Pomona-Pitzer College) have all-weather tracks. Library Not Affected by New Tax on Periodicals By Julie Amiton News Editor Despite the enactment of a new California tax on all periodicals, Whittier College will not be forced to cut back on library resources, Phil O'Brien, Head Librarian, said. The new sales tax will cost the state's universities and public libraries more than $4 million this year in unforeseen levies on magazines and academicjournals, according to a recent Los Angeles Times article. The tax was enacted to reduce the state'srecentbudget deficit. The College was forced to pay $9000 in taxes. According to O'Brien this was not planned for, but allowances were made. "Every library is being hit badly," O'Brien said. The nine-campus University of California system will pay more than $1.7 million for the 1991-92 year, while the 20-member California State University system will pay an additional $1 million. To alleviate the effects of this unexpected tax, some institutions are being forced to make some allowances including cutbacks in library hours, staff, and resources and charging students for materials. However, the College will not be forced to use these measures, according to O'Brien. "The tax has been taken care of. I do not think this will affect us negatively," O'Brien said. "On the other hand, we will not experience any immediate growth, but are thinking about future growth." mtbat .'. .,;■■■■ t much »ard of Beesi<i«rt£.j ill lie ■sal to ort (be fliibod} d the «L-* ion things issued ..Sti tor at in ^betraye&* Ifl A'AA-A'■y.m^mz-miftftift.ftft; - y.yyy
