8432 Magnolia Ave. Riverside Apr! I 30, 1971 ■1 ANN WILLIAMS speaks earnestly to Noel Walker during a rehearsal for Sacrificial Offering," one of the three plays to be performed May 6, 7, and 8. Hughes Prepares For Sacrifice Performance By Nancy Baker "All I want the audience to do is think," said Bob Hughes, director of "Sacrifice," a drama experience to be presented May 6, 7, and 8. Hughes has chosen three plays - two of which he has written himself - each relating to sacrifice. Using complicated character parallels, Bob hopes to create a collage effect. Experienced drama critics will be able to piece together relationships from all three plays. But the actors as well as the audience must become part of "Sacrifice." Hughes explained, "Sensitivity training during rehearsals helped in destroying our protective barriers. The cast had to trust each other. This gave the cast a chance to let down and fail during rehearsal. I don't mind that. Any failure in attempt is better than no attempt at all." The first play, "AriodaCapo" by Edna St. Vincent Millay, was used as a pattern for Bob Hughes play "Slip of the Tongue." He continued "The common denominator of the two is theatricality. And "Sacrificial Offering" which I wrote this year is even more theatrical. It's like a playwright writing about playwriting." Finding it difficult to manipulate all his variables so that the play will take the direction he wants, causes him to "appreciate the Lord much more" Not only does Hughes view the production from the standpoint of the author, but also of the director. He has found that the sensitivity training has helped in discipline. "I'm like a cook - having to watch all the pots to keep them from boiling over. And I'm making the play everybody's thing; not just mine." Joining together the two things that mean the most to him - the Christian faith and the theater - he is able to create a worship experience. In the last play, there is an indirect parallel of Christ dying on the cross. Evil is in the form of self-control. "Self-control is the opposite of what God wants." Hughes said. "God should be in control." The plays may be so complicated that some might not like them or understand them, but that does nof bother Bob. "I'm making a plea for thinking. I want kids to trust what it is they think." Freshman Class Starts Petition A petition concerning the dorm curfew for girls was begun last Monday by the freshmen in the class meeting. The petition was organized by Larry Longshore, class president; Barry Campbell, ASB Senator; and Larry Martindale, ASB President. Barry Campbell presented the petition to Dean Brown prior to the meeting. It requests a curfew of 11:00 for freshmen and sophomores on week nights, and 12:00forjuniors and seniors. Weekend curfew would be extended to 1:00 for all girls, but this change would apply only to girls maintaining a 2.0 or higher G.P.A. There will be petitions circulating faculty members as well as students. During the class meeting, the freshmen also adopted a class constitution anddiscussedaclass project. Freshmen dues are being collected this week. Former Church Presents $2,100 To Cal Baptist Responding with a standing ovation during last Friday's chapel, the students of CBC received a gift of $2,100 from the disbanding Sierra Madre Baptist Church in Pasadena. Four members including the pastor were present to donate the money toward the purchase of a new station wagon. Dr. James Staples spoke with the nine-member church the Sunday evening before the presentation. At that time, he outlined the needs of the college. Feeling that CBC could put the money to full use, the Sierra Madre Baptist Church called Dr. Staples Wednesday to relay their decision. The new station wagon to be purchased will be available to all school groups, ranging from revival teams to musical performers. Dr. Staples hopes it will be the first of two new automobiles planned for purchase by next year. Rubidoux Boy Needs Blood For Operation Andrew Anagnos, a six-year- old boy of Rubidoux, Calif., is facing open heart surgery on May 25, in St. Bernadine's Hospital, San Bernardino, Calif. The family needs 24 pints of blood for the operation. Anyone interested in donating blood can go to the Blood Bank on Indiana Ave., across the freeway from the campus. Designate the blood for Andrew Anagnos. CBC Graduate Donates Roses Wesley Randolph, 1962 graduate of Cal Baptist, donated and supervised the planting ofthe new rose bushes behind the main campus building. Randolph is a Data Processing supervisor for Glass Containers Corp. of Fullerton, Calif. He worked as a gardener while attending CBC and lived inatrailer by the cow pasture (now the married student). He recently was rehired on a temporary basis and it was at this time that he purchased the roses. Some 125 bushes and planter mix were bought from the Rosedale Nursery on Magnolia Avenue. Total cost ofthe project was approx. $300. His wife, Melva Randolph, is head ofthe Financial Aids office at Calif. Baptist College. BSU Elections Held, New Officers Chosen The BSU annual elections were held last Tuesday and Wednesday. Run-off elections for Secretary were held Thursday and Friday. Approximately 135 of the 200 students in the BSU voted. "I was hoping even more students would vote, but we had a pretty good turnout," said Joe Cutsinger, BSU advisor. The new list of officers include: Al Gebaur President Mary McElhannon On-Campus Ministries Director Richard Flood Off-Campus Ministries Director Esmeralda Alcala Communications Director Cheryl Durham - Secretary Kathy Hively Summer Missions Director r AL GEBAUR, Pres. CHERYL DURHAM, Secy. These people are interested in people who would be interested in serving in the BSU next year . . . Right now is when they are planning many ofthe activities for next year, so if you have any ideas for activities or projects, please give them to either one of the new officers or myself in the BSU office," said Mr. Cutsinger. Dr. Staples Travels Throughout California From San Francisco to San Diego, Dr. JamesStaplestravels, keeping Californians constantly aware of what's happening at CBC. "Once I ate breakfast in Riverside, lunch and a meeting in San Francisco at the Golden Gate Seminary and was home in time for dinner," Dr. Staples said. "One especially busy weekend, I attended a retreat in Arizona, left Saturday evening for a youth rally in Fortuna, preached the next morning in Areata and that evening in Crescent Citynearthe Oregon border. The following day, I spoke at three high schools before 1 flew back to Riverside." About 1,000congregations support CBC and Dr. Staples has a commitment to try to reach them and their 250,000 members. Not only does he speak before churches, but he also attends educational conferences through out the state and participates in civic organizations. This past Easter, he preached the Sunrise Service for Knott's Berry Farm. Dr. Staples has found that there is an increasing interest in the college. Gifts exceed by $1,000 plus those received during last year's comparable three months. "I hope this trend will continue," he smiled. "Not only am I going out, but our students, singing groups, faculty members, and administrators are fanning out over the state and spreading the news of Cal Baptist," Staples said. "And students have a stronger voice for the college than anyone else, particularly to other young people." Through his efforts in travelling and those of others associated with the school, he hopes to reach the goal of 800 students by next fall.
