Brenda and Charlie AIL . .things work together for good by Helen Walker Six feet tall and proud of it. She appeared much taller that first day 1 met her as I looked up from my five-foot height. As the days passed and she became more and more a part of my life, she wastallnotonlyphysical- ly but spiritually as well. She and her parents visited CBC "on the spur ofthe moment" not really sure that this was the school for her. It was late summer and usually no one in the Music Dept. would have been here. Dr. Cheek and I both were here. She needed a scholarship to help. I needed an alto for Rhapsody. I had been praying that one would be sent my way though the time was late. Brenda M was the answer to my need and '.?' CBC was able to assist in her >J; financial need. The rewards have been many and great. Her happy smile, her flashing eyes, her compassionate heart, her love of life will always be a part of us who worked closely with her. She had so many things she wanted to do in the future. We spent many hours talking and praying about possibilities for service. This was always uppermost in her mind. Sharing with Brenda was always a challenge. She made us more conscious than we had been before about our own responsibilities in living each day to its fullest. "And all we know that all things work together for good for those who love Him" — one of her favorite verses. by Becky Cooper Charlie and I met the second day of this semester. Realizing we had many things in common, we became the best of friends. We shared many things with each other and watched the Lord take two people and put them very close together in a short time. Charlie was the type of person Charlie Coulter who always knew what to say or to do when you might be down. He kept a constant smile for the Lord. Charlie loved people and had a great concern for his friends. He was always there to give a helping hand and an uplifting smile. Charlie's purpose in life was to serve his Lord, and that he did. He always used his talents the Lord had given him for the purpose of glorifying God. Charlie was not afraid of people--he loved them and would always say "Hi" whether he knew them or not. He was truly an inspiration to me. If ever you went to Alphy's, you would find us there every night with our iced tea. We always laughed and enjoyed the company of each other. Although Charlie was with us at CBC for only a short time, I believe he made a great impact with everyone he came in contact with. Charlie and I talked often about life and I think this is what he would want to say to all of you--relax, enjoy life, and work for the Lord, our time is short. We BANNER-, ^^"*^ April 15, 1977 Page 1 ^^^^^^^^^ New policy on student accounts adopted for Fall In a recent meeting of the Administrative Council, action was taken that will affect many students now enrolled. The new policy as adopted by the Council states: "A student's account must be current before that student will be allowed to register for the following term." This policy will take effect for the fall term 1977 which means that any student who does not have his/her account paid up to date by fall registration will not be allowed to register. All current students will be allowed to pre-register for the fall semester. However, those students who have not paid their accounts by August 15 will forfeit their class cards, and will have to begin the registration process over again at the regular registration time. All current and new students who cannot pay their 1977 fall account at September registration must have on file a CBC Financial Aid Application, a Financial Aid Form (FAF) and a BEOG eligibility report. This action is necessary for several reasons. In-past years unpaid student accounts have continued to increase. At May 31, 1976, the end of the college's fiscal year, student receivables amounted to over $261,000, and that figure will go even higher this year. When this happens it means that .the college must borrow from the bank in order to keep its bills relatively current and maintain a good credit rating. This borrowing costs several thousand dollars each year, and this is money that should be going to improve the educational programs. Few students realize that unpaid accounts effect the quality of their education in a very real way. When cash flow becomes critical, as it often does, all departments have to be instructed to eliminate all purchasing even though they have not spent their entire budget. If the college doesn't have the cash to pay for a purchase, it must wait. Often times there is aid available through the office of Student Financial Services, but stu dents fail or refuse to take advantage of it. Many students prefer not to take out a student loan, because, "they prefer not to have that obligation hanging over their heads when they leave or graduate." There is little difference between owing it to a bank or to CBC, and in most cases it. will cost the student less to borrow on a student loan. The 4% service charge made by the college is usually greater than the cost of a student loan. Students are reminded that a Financial Aid Form, CBC Financial Aid Application and BEOG report are due immediately to qualify for next years grants and loans. Another student comment often heard by the business office is "my parents will help me, but I would rather do it myself." When this happens the student is asking the college to sacrifice and assume the student's or parent's responsibility. The college can no longer assume this responsibility. Any students having problems paying their accounts should contact the Student Financial Services immediately to see what aid is still available for the current year. This new policy may place a hardship on some students. It may even cause some to have to leave college for a period of time, but considering the increasing volume of unpaid accounts, the council felt it was a necessary step. Symposium speaker defines 'Christian job' "Most people don't have a clear idea of what it means to put the word Christian in front of a profession," stated Dr. GaryCollins, opening speaker for the Career Symposium. In defining his statement, Collins told his experience of leading a similar conference at Pepperdine where he told one group of students that he was an atheist and a psychologist and what did they expect to hear from him. Their basic conclusion was, "I suppose you don't believe in God. Talking to a similar group he stated he was a Christian and a psychologist and again asked what they expected of him. . ." the reply was, "I guess you believe in God." The experience served as a kind of re-inforcement for Collin's observation that most people have no concept of what being a Christian involves when it is within a secular position. It doesn't mean that the profession becomes a vehicle for evangelization, he said. In challenging the student body to think about vocational choices, Collins said it was important "because they will be selecting, refining and maintaining career choices the rest of their lives." He took an approach to topic of the difference in a Christian and non-Christian in a profession which was typical of most thoughts of today. First, the Christian maintains a belief in the absolute. . .God, while maintaining his profession. The danger in such belief lies not in the danger of rigidity but in the danger of believing everything that is powerful, palatable, and professional, if there is no belief in an absolute. Secondly there is the need for the re-vocation of self-ism. Many who wear the mask of altruism find the mask perferated by compliments, criticism and disappointment. Many people have difficulties with this concept he said because their mind-set will not allow them to make a distinction between selfishness and a positive self-regard. Self-ism in a vocation is the selfish motivation of meeting my own needs as defined by what I choose to wear, how I choose to live and how I spend my money. We are always in opposition to God's will as it is contrary to ours. But by identifying withChrist and his suffering caused by my oppositional will, that jealousy and opposition can be neutralized. Research by Fuller Theological Seminary has shown that many people in Christian vocations are meeting their own needs and not the needs of God or the world. They are afraid of being confronted with the possibility of temptation and of sinning so they hide in the Christian world. These people chose vocations that don't scare them morally or ethically. "Finally, we must become receivers," Collins said. "Christ gave his life on the cross to be a receiver of our sins. If we are to model Christ and we should, we must note that he did little in confronting people with their sins but was a receptacle for those sins. We can be receivers of people's sorrow, tragedy and sins, that includes not holding grudges against fellow employees," he concluded. Grand Opening Bee.
