Whittier College’s Richard M. Nixon Republican Club took a trip to the Orange County Indoor Shooting Range on Sunday, Nov. 20 as part of the club’s monthly activities. The event was sponsored by the Republican Club, and was open for members and any interested Whittier College students.

On Sunday night, members and nonmembers carpooled to the gun range which is located in the City of Brea, about 30 minutes away from the College. Each person had to fill out a release waiver, which outlined the risks associated with shooting at the gun range, and waived Whittier College’s liability if any injuries were to occur.

The three women of the Andrews Sisters had more Top Ten Hits than the Beatles or Elvis and sold millions of records. Their music is from the swing era around the ‘40s, which consists of some fast and slow paced tempo. The music performance was sung to the soldiers for entertainment.

As a fresh school year begins, Professor of Spanish Doreen O’Connor-Gómez starts her new position as director of the Whittier Scholars Program (WSP).

The WSP is dedicated to helping students specifically craft their majors, allowing them to pursue whatever they choose. But with the new change, many wonder what they can expect from the program in years to come.

This past school year, there was a call for applications looking for a new director of the Whittier Scholars Program. O’Connor-Gómez submitted her application and began the process of obtaining the job.

While most Turner residents are usually enjoying what is considered by many to be one of the nicer dorms on campus, within the last few weeks the dorm has been marred by the sounds of banging pipes, lack of hot water (or any water, at times) and a gas leak scare.

The sounds of banging pipes have been occurring for weeks according to many Turner residents. Facilities workers discovered the problem was due to an issue with the boiler. In an e-mail sent out to all Turner residents on Feb. 2, Area Coordinator Andel Fils-Aime told students the timeline for the fixing of the boiler.

“Dear Hunter, Happy Birthday Bro. Hope it is an awesome one. My name is Brad from Whittier College, just wanted to wish you a happy B-Day. Hope it is legendary, just like you.”

This is one of many hundreds of birthday cards that 7-year-old Hunter Scott from Calvert County, Maryland received last week on Oct. 23, as he celebrated his seventh birthday.
Do you remember your seventh birthday wish? Was it the latest toy or video game? or maybe a trip to Disneyland? When Scott was asked what he wanted for his birthday he replied, “I want lots of birthday cards.”

Scott has been at war with brain cancer for the past three years. This past summer he underwent experimental treatment. Unfortunately, according to Scott’s doctors, his seventh birthday will probably be his last.
