The BANNER Vol. XXVII, Issue 2 California Baptist College Sept. 21, 1984 Students Denied Chapel Attendance Banner reporter Gil Seda enters chapel Photo: Dan Gream wearing shorts. Who Ya Gonna Call? Bug Buster Saturday Three students were denied entranee to chapel, on Sept. 5, 1984, for wearing shorts. The students, who were turned away at the door by the Student Life Staffers, apparently will suffer unexcused absences. However, on Wednesday, September 12, 1984, Banner reporters Gil Seda and Don Alexander were admitted to chapel without question wearing shorts. According to Dr. Jay Chance, vice-president of public affairs, chapel must provide an atmosphere of worship. Shorts, therefore, are not appropriate for chapel. Furthermore, the no shorts rule is backed by the administration, the trustees, and Bill Crews, pastor of Magnolia Avenue Baptist church. Student life staffers will be responsible for enforcing the rule. Dr. Tuck, president of CBC "agrees~w1th the nd shorrsTuie and says it shows good taste and modesty. Likewise, because the school is owned and operated by the Southern Baptist Convention, they have a say concerning shorts in chapel. There are students who approve of the no shorts rule and see no concern for the one hour a week rule. John Rainbow, acting Dean of Student Life, realizes the fact that there are students opposed to the no shorts rule; yet thinks that students as a whole are still priviledged because shorts are allowed in the main building. Furthermore, chapel is only one hour a week, and if students push too hard, there is the possibility that the trustees may rule out wearing shorts completely in the November meeting. However, there are viewpoints against the no shorts rule. First there is the heat which makes wearing shorts a comfortable alternative. Then there is the question: do shorts distort the purpose of providing worship and spiritual ^eTrrpti a sis'? Who *■ ure—th e chapels for? Are they for the students, faculty, or both? Should chapel policy be governed by church tradition or should chapel emphasize the freedom of the individual? TWIRP'S Unite Twirp week is approaching- and fast! Don't miss out on a week full of excitement and adventure. Twirp week, where the woman is required to pay, will begin on Monday, October 1, with ICE NIGHT. Plan to be in Harden Square at 7:30.

See Twirp, pg. 2 After only 3 weeks of school, the girls of CBC were packig up their possessions in boxes and clearing out their closets. Why? No, not because they didn't like the male- female ratio, rather the ladies of Simmons Hall were leaving due to the intrusion of black widow spiders. The Housing Staff didn't realize the severity of the spider problem until the residents had moved in. The problem was discovered by the girls after the creatures were seen lurking in the rooms. September 15, was therefore named ''Bug Buster Saturday". Simmons Hall occupants were asked to completely clear out their closets and out from under their beds. Their possessions were to be placed in the center of each room, leaving space for the "Bug Busters" to work. The dorm, was evacuated at 9 a.m. Saturday morning and was reopened at 5 p.m. that evening. "The black widow problem isn't isolated at CBC," says Jennifer Downing, housing director at Simmons Hall, "the strange weather has caused them to spread throughout Riverside." There has been a wide spread insect problem all over the county. Downing also said that the spiders are now completely out of Simmons Hall. The gymnasium was sprayed as well as the girls dorm. Smith Hall, will be sprayed at a later date. The Housing Staff suggested several alternatives for the day. The Baptist Student Union's annual, "Back to School Retreat" was a popular choice. A Bug Buster Film Festival in the "Trailer-by-the- Lounge" theatre, with movies shown all day, was another option. Smith Hall residents were eager to share their dorm with the girls and planned open wings and open lounges for studying and socializing. The Housing Staff also suggested the ever-popular beach trip.
