Freshmen Express
Constructive Goals
What are some ofthe goals and
expectations of the Freshman
Class? There was much serious
thought and a show of enthusiasm
when five freshmen wereasked this
question.
Gwen Walters has some very
positive expectations forthisyear.
She feels that God is going to do a
lot with her personal life and she is
hoping that God will work through
her to strengthen and help others.
It is her opinion that God is going
to work in some special ways in
the knowledge and spreading of
God's Word on campus this year.
Pam Marston feels the Lord has
led her to CBC and appreciates
the fact that it is a Christian college. She is planning on getting
involved in CSM, particularly prison ministries. It is her wish that
more people get involved with CSM.
She also remarked about the Sept.
23-27 "If We Would See Jesus"
Revival. She wants the revival to
leave a spark that would live
throughout this year. Pam says
she is a relatively new Christian
and she is excited about what God
has planned for her new life.
Mike Cox's first and most important goal at Cai Baptist is to get
a more-rounded Bible knowledge
and to grow spiritually. Hewishes
to acquire more discipline of 'study
and more understanding in the
Bible. He wants Christ to be more
personal in his life. Mike is inthe
Day-Spring music group, a facet of
CSM. His desire is that he wants
CSM to reveal a real Christ to the
students at CBC and to those who
are ministered to.
Mike Spit/er regards himseiias
an introvert. He says that he has
been more open at CBC because of
its friendly students. He expressed
excitement for this year because
he feels there are manv wavs to
channel one's talents
'There are many club, activities, and services on campus and
everyone should be able to direct
their talents somewhere," he stated with enthusiasm. However, not
only does he think there is opportunity in the school but also in the
community. He says the greater
majority of the students at CBC
are Christians and he desires
that the students not only look inward but to look outward to see
how each person can serve the
community.
He plans on getting involved in
puppet ministry. This is an out-
reaching service which serves
churches, and community institutions in the Riverside area. Mike
urges others to join the ministry.
Laura Morris wants to grow
spiritually and academically. She
is involved with CSM publicity,
and she expresses a desire to get
active in a church - when the
Lord leads her to the one she will
serve in. She stated that she wanted to get to know everyone as
individuals, next, she added with a
grin: "everyone here seems really
neat!"

CBC Parking Rules Stated
There has been some confusion
in the past as to where and when
students may park, according to
Pat McGrew, CBC business manager.
There is no parking in the cafeteria parking lot at any time except for authorized persons working in the cafeteria, he -said.
In addition there is to be no
parking at any time in Fortuna
Circle, Harden Square, dirt areas
or anywhere else that is marked
as restricted.   The only exception
to this is that you may park in the
faculty parking lot and the visitors
area behind the main building between 5 p.m. and 7 a.m.
Resident students wishing to
park in the non-resident parking
area may purchase a non-resident
sticker in the Dean of Students
office for^L^mm^
Temporary permits may be obtained at no charge in the Dean of
Students office for persons needing
to park in the visitors area for
short durations.
BILLY KEENER played some robust music on her accordion for the
Faculty-Staff Women's Club's first event ofthe year - a luncheon, held
on the main-entrance walk.
Dana will Explain Greek Song and Dance
By Fred Parsons
Editor
It is not easy to imagine the
ancient Greeks being interested in
song and dance, a line of chorus
girls performing the latest musical
hit for an emperor and his court.
But certain shredded evidence
discovered by "the scholars" indicates that ancient Greek poetry
may have been more than reading
material to its first audience, this
according to Professor Margaret
Dana,   CBC   English  department.
Dr. Dana said the writings of
Alcman, 7th century BC lyric poet,
are more than simple poems, or
poems as we know them today.
His poetry, she said, may have
actually been intended for the
stage, musical productions, performed by young maidens who
would sing or chant the verse,
accompanied probably by a lyre
(stringed instrument, like the harp)
or flute.
She said all Greek poems had
musical accompaniment. Homer's
included.
In her first book Dana will provide the undergraduate with an in-
depth report on Alcman's fragmentary efforts, his environment, and
the context in which his poetry
was written.
Her research will not uncover
any ancient secrets, she said; it
will simply be helpful to the undergraduate.
'This is poetry that was plugged
into the social context" of that
civilization, she said. "Only classical scholars have really dealt
with the old poetry," she added.
No one else has gained their understanding  of old-world poetry.
Her book, entitled Alcman, is
one in a series on famous world
authors being presented by the
Twayne PublishingCompany, which
has given Dana approximately two
years to write the 200-page book.
She now has little more than a
year to complete her work on Alcman.
* She said she wants to vacation
(work) in Greece next summer;
the museums and book collections
there should prove invaluable to
her research.
Dana is in her fourth year with
CBC's faculty. She received her
doctorate from UCR in 1971.
She entered Pomona College in
the early 60's as a psychology
major, and said that is why it
took her so long to obtain her degree. She was a junior before she
switched her major to English.
She has written professionally
twice before, both efforts were
articles on Sir Philip Sidney's
Arcadia, which was also the subject of her dissertation.
Her articles appeared in literary journals within the last
two years.
If inspired to write another book,
Dana said she would write again
on Sidney, her area of scholarship, so that her readers might
be induced to read her favorite
author.
"He is one of the most important
figures in English literature," she
said. "1 would like to write a book
that would show that his Arcadia
is really worth reading. It was
very widely read in the Renaissance."
Sidney will have to wait, though,
as Dana pursues the mysterious
history of the Greeks. Along with
Alcman, she is studying transla
tions of modern Greek poetry, and
the Greek language itself.
Although her trip next summer
will be to Greece, she said the
source of her study was found in
Egypt, around Alexandria, the capital of the Greek-speaking world
in the 7th century BC. But, belonging to the Greeks, the artifacts she will have to study were
returned to their place of origin.
Some, however, are in Paris.
There are myths related to Alcman's city - Sparta, in the Greek
Peloponnesus - that Dana will investigate in her book. Whether it
was a strict militeristic state ora
flourishing cultural center, as Alcman seemed to have thought, will
perhaps be unravelled by Dana.
