Seven students spent the night, and 35 students experienced a day at Whittier. This included personal interviews, lunch in the C.I. and attending classes. Board Of Trustees Increases By Michele Apostolos News Staff In accordance with the Board of Trustees' goal to increase the number of trustees, Elden Smith and David Lizarraga were approved as the newest members during the full Board meeting held on October 4 and 5. "Smith is the Senior Vice President of Fleetwood Enterprises, the largest producer of recreational vehicles in America," C. Milo Connick, a member of the Board, who Chairs the Committee on Trustees, said. Smith graduated from Whittier in 1962. According to Susie Pearce, Vice President for Advancement, "Lizarraga is President, Chief Executive, and Chairman of The East Los Angeles Community Union (TELACU), a non-profit community development corporation." Pearce said there are currently 28 trustees on the Board. Connick added that Whittier's Board is small in comparison with the Boards of other colleges. " My estimate is that within two or three years, members of the Board will be between 50 and 60." "Some Boards are more in name, and they don't carry the workload or responsibilities that our Board does," Connick said. "The greatest honor of a college is trusteeship. We make it very clear what we expect from trustees." According to Connick, criteria the Board considers when looking at candidates for a trusteeship include: acquaintance with and support of the College's educational ideals and its plans and goals;, willingness to use his or her network for the college; ability to inform people nationwide of the quality ofthe college; ability to raise money on behalf of the college; and ability to attract and recommend other people to the Board. "We expect trustees to use their own expertise which are varied by sex, geography, and special skills," Connick said. The Board requires each member to make a significant financial contribution to the institution annually. "On average members of the Board contribute more than half a million dollars yearly to the college," Connick said. Trustees may serve three years on the Board and their trusteeship may be renewed. "One ofthe responsibilities ofthe Committee on Trustees is to identify potential candidates Please see BOARD on page 4. Full-time Faculty Receive 12.9 % Raise In Salary For The 1991-92 Year By Caitlin Duffy Managing Editor All full-time faculty members have received an average 12.9 percent salary increase for the 1991-92 academic year. According to Dr. Joseph Price, associate professor of Religion and Chairperson of the Personnel Interest Committee (PIC), the raise, approved by hie Board of Trustees last spring, is the "largest in the faculty's history." The amount of pay increase to all assistant, associate and full professors is based on rank and number of years teaching at Whittier College, Robert Marks, Dean of Faculty and Academic Affairs, said. Marks said that "faculty salary improvements have been at the top of the list" of administrative priorities for the last few years. In 1987, the PIC and the Faculty Executive Committee (FEC) compared Whittier's faculty salaries with those of 13 West Coast colleges and universities. The schools were: Pomona, Pitzer, Ciaremont McKenna, Scripps, Redlands, La Verne, Occidental, Chapman, Cal Lutheran, the University of San Diego, Mills, Reed (Ore.), and Lewis and Clark (Ore.). Whittier ranked 12th out of the 14 schools in professor salaries. Following the salary comparison to the 13 schools, the FEC and PIC proposed that the faculty "should be paid at least the average of these schools," Price said. The plan was approved by the Administration, but due to "financial crises with the old Administration, Whittier never reached parity" with the other -schools. Price said. Student Muggings Cause For Alarm By Julie Amiton News Editor According to Ed Malone, Director of Campus Safety, two muggings of Whittier College students have occurred over the last 11 days. On Oct. 6, three students were walking back from the Franklin Valley View Apartment area at 3:51 a.m. As they were walking, the students were approached by suspects and told to get down on the ground, and a wallet was taken from one student. One suspect had what appeared to be a "simulated weapon." After the theft, the students, went to Wanberg hall, where they contacted the Whittier Police Department. The student's names and the number of suspects are not being released at this time. A second incident occurred on Oct. 12 at 2:30 a.m. Two male students were walking near Philadelphia and Founders Hill Road. Both students were involved in AOKP and were dressed in their attire. They were approached by a male Hispanic, 5feet 8 inches, wearing shorts and a tee-shirt. The suspect grabbed the sword one student was carrying and demanded the victim's watch. While this was occurring, the second student continued walking, and reported the theft to Campus Safety. According to Malone, by the time "we (Campus Safety) arrived, the suspect was gone." At this time, the watch has not been recovered. Malone attributes the muggings to the perception some outside people may have. "Because Whittier is a private institution, the perception of some people is that a bunch of rich people go to school here," he said. In addition, Malone said that because Whittier is such a friendly school, students may have a "feeling of immunity to the real world." Malone advises all students to stop by the Campus Safety Office and pick up pamphlets that offer tips on avoiding dangerous situations.
