The BANNER Vol. XXVI, Issue 16 California Baptist College Feb. 25,1983 Delays Plague Student Center CBC's new student center still remains unbuilt, the victim of delays imposed by the city of Riverside's building inspector. "We thought the Student Center would be here and operating by the second semester," said Kent Dacus, ASB Vice-President. "We didn't realize that it had to be approved by the City Planning Commission. After we cleared that hurdle and thought we could go ahead and order our center, we found out that is only the first step." "We recently had to submit five blue prints to the City Building Inspector for his approval." Although city building regulations are balking construction Walt Grubb, Dean of Student Life, feels that the City of Riverside is being helpful. "The planning commission gave us a break," he said. "CBC isn't zoned for temporary buildings: It is a mobile home and we did get a waiver from them." Grubb feels that the City Building Inspector's office is the actual cause of the delays. "He covers every inch of the facility to make sure all materials, location, and foundation are suitable. This is a several week process, and as soon as we get approval the company (Fleetwood) will build our Center." When asked for a specific date when construction could begin Dacus replied, "I won't give a specific date because we've tried that before and we keep getting set back. But we'll have it soon; you can count on that." Face the Changes CBC students were surprised last week to see a change in the style of the Banner. The new look, which involved a different grade of paper was actually an experiment. "We've had several students suggest that we revert to newsprint to improve the professional look of the paper," stated Editor Joe Pinkerton. "However, the feelings tend to run about 50/50 for the whiter book stock. "This is a student newspaper and our goal is to please the students," added Pinkerton. "What we'd like for students to do is compare the last issue with previous issues and see which grade of paper they prefer. Then let us know by dropping the comments in the Banner box outside the ASB office." Other Banner changes involved the staff. Paul Huard replaced Dana Johnson as Assistant Editor. Johnson resigned due to personal time limitations. Mary Crocker: resigned as Feature Editor to become a columnist and Ken Hudson replaced Kristi Stark as Photo Editor. Carrie Garten speaks at Sunday's dedication of the Chuck Garten Memorial. Preview BSU'ers Stirred By Mexico For whom the bell doesn't toll. Day Held Prospective students from various regions of the state of California converged on CBC last weekend for the twice annual Preview Day. Hailing from areas such as Sacramento, Hayward, Elmhurst, San Jose* Fresno and Orange County the 169 prospective students were treated to the best CBC has to offer as Preview Day fell on Homecoming weekend. The possible future Lancers were given tours and visited classrooms Friday morning, attended chapel, and were presented with a Financial Aid seminar. After lunch on Harden Square the prospec- tives viewed a concert in the BOL and later were allowed to discuss plans with faculty members. Deemed a smashing success by its coordinators, Preview Day was sponsored by the Admissions Department. "I feel real good about it," replied Suzie Goodwin, Admissions Counselor. Apparently, so did most of the prospective students as evaluations which they turned in were all "very positive" according to Goodwin. Most expressed appreciation. Besides Homecoming festivities the prospectives were also given free passes to Thursday night's play. Ever since the team of 23 CBC students and administrators found themselves in So,-California ortFebruary 2nd it has been difficult to keep them silent. Claiming to be greatly stirred by a two week trip to the 15 million- inhabitant megalopolis of Mexico City, team members continue to excitedly relate, to anyone who will listen, stories of how God proved to be faithful to a group of crazy gringos in a very "crazy" city. One of the first major objectives of the trip was to respond to the invitation of the Mexican Baptist Students to come to their University (U of Mexico), to give testimony of Jesus Christ. This was done through music, drama, athletics, simply making friends and capitalizing on the novelty of being Americans in a non-tourist area. Many students for the first time had to face up to the claims of Christ and some made professions of faith, One young medical student named Manuel had been studying the scriptures for 21 months and finally gave his allegiance to Jesus. It is young people like Manuel who will shape the future of Mexico in the coming years. Another objective of the trip was for the team to learn from the Mexican Baptist churches and to try to understand their conception of Christian Ministry. Two of the churches were located in impoverished areas and for the first time many of the team members were confronted with the realities of life for about V* of the world's population. These times were especially moving with the Americans being flocked around like celebrities and challenged to understand the relevance of the gospel to the poor. Several students commented that being there was an experience which gave them the confidence that God could use them to help the poor. The third focus was for the students to get a good understanding of Mexican culture. This was accomplished by history lessons, visits to museums and historical cities, but primarily by staying in Mexican families homes, eating and living like Mexicans. All the team members have big smiles and lots of nice words to say about their "Mexican families", and their appreciation for chile! Many, more things and individual experiences should be included, but Banner articles have a limit on space. However, if you would like to ask, these are the members: Juanita Blanton, Angie Meza, Kristen Pfister, Carolyn Jarms, J ana Hilt, Ann Mc- Combs, Patti Robertson, Lyn- nette Crouch, Mark Justice, Don Eagle, Paul Ingold, Mike Young, Jake Wayman, Fred Harms, Guy Farnsworth, , Randy & Maryann Galloway, Frank and Anita Cipriani, and Dr. Staples. I'm sure they would be excited to answer your questions. —Paul Ingold
