Dean of Student Affairs, Olie T.
Brown and his wife, Mrs. Sibyl
Brown, librarian of California
Baptist College will begin their
sabbatical leave on July 15,1972.
They will be gone for one year.
During this time Dean Brown
will be the pastor of the Chofu
Baptist Church in Tokyo, Japan.
This is an English speaking
church that is sponsored by the
Southern Baptist Foreign Mission
Board. It is located near the large
American military installation
there and the International Christian University is nearby. The
Browns hope to do some studying
there.
The pastor of this church, Rev.
Kenneth R. Bragg, will be spending his furlough in the United
States.
Dean and Mrs. Brown are planning to stop over in Anchorage,
Alaska, enroute to Japan. Here
they will visit Mrs. Opal Hammond Miller, who was in the first
graduating class of California
Baptist College. Mrs. Miller
lived in the Brown's home while
she was attending college.
The Browns have plans to do
some traveling before coming
home. Their extended trip will
itake them to Korea, Taiwan,
Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand
and the Philippine Islands.
Dean Brown will be ending his
tenure as dean of students after
22 years of service. He was
academic dean for the first eight
years of the college's history.
He will be returning to the college in another capacity, as a
member of the faculty in the
division of religion and as foreign
student advisor. Mrs. Brown will
resume her position as head
librarian.
RAs MISSING FROM DORMS
Seminar Provides Evaluation
By WAYNE TILDEN
Perhaps you noticed something
slightly unusual in your dorm
Friday night and Saturday. That
unusual thing was that your R.A.
wasn't there to tell you to hold
down the noise level. In fact
your dorm council president
wasn't there either. All of these
people were at the home of Dean
Gary Collins.
All the R.A.'s and dorm presidents were attending their annual
seminar. Leaders involved were
Dean Gary Collins, Dean Chuck
Barnes, and Dean Louise Carleton. Also present was Smith Hall
Director Mrs. Dolores ("Mom")
Foster.
The purpose of the meeting
was to review current policies
and procedures and to plan for
next year's program. The main
topics of discussion were discipline, visitation, and a review
of the residence hall handbook.
They also set up a committee
to plan and study a fall R.A.'s
workshop.
According to Mrs. Carleton,
one of the most enlightening parts
of the meetings was the chance
for the R.A.'s to meet with the
council presidents. It was the
first time that the presidents
had had opportunity to see the
R.A.'s concept of the problem
of enforcing the rules that the
council presidents, and the councils themselves, make up.
The meetings were basically
a self-evaluation time. Not just
for each R.A. to evaluate himself but to evaluate the whole
program.
It was also a time for fellowship and good fun. They had a
barbecue and full use of Collins' pool. On Saturday morning
they had a buffet breakfast at
Griswold's Smorgasbord in Red-
lands.
The meeting was useful in possibly improving the over-all program and gave some new insights into the problems of discipline. "Everyone involved felt
it was a very constructive meeting," according to Dean Barnes.
DEAN OLIE T. BROWN and his WIFE SIBYL, head librarian, will
be taking a year's leave of absence next year. The Brown's have
been  with California  Baptist College since its conception in 195.
