The BANNER Vol. XXVIII Issue 1 California Baptist College Sept. 9,1983 GUITARS HIGHLIGHT the annual BSU beach trip. Simmons Hall In Hot Water? The lack of hot water in Simmons Hall didn't do much to make an impression on the new female students at CBC. According to some of the girls, they did not have hot water during the week of orientation. During all that time no one said anything about it. They complained, but complaints will never be effective unless they are directed to the right persons. A lot of girls were asked about the hot water problem. Some of the comments received were "How come we are paying more in tuition this year, but receive less than what we got last year?" Another comment was, "Why should we raise money for something we're supposed to have anyway?" I wanted to know what was being done about it. When I found out nothing, I was outraged, (especially after receiving my first cold shower of the year. I mean we're talking ice cubes coming out of the shower head)! Bob Chavez, Simmons Hall Dorm Director, said that was one of the issues being discussed at the Tuesday night Dorm meeting. "The hot water system was designed inadequately and Simmons Hall has twice as much water as Smith Hall does." The answer to this was to get a new system. Naturally we would have to raise the money to buy three new water heaters, if that was the problem. Cost of the heaters? $500 each. Chavez suggested that the girls write letters to their parents alerting them to the problem. "I would also suggest writing to the Trustees letting them know what is going on. You students have the most power here on campus and if there is a problem, you can get it worked out by talking to the right people." Chavez also brought out the food protest of last year. He said, "If we, need to, we can always protest to the Trustees to get them to take notice of the problem." Bob Bryson, Vice President of Business Affairs and Head of the Maintenance Department, was presented with the problem by one of the girls. According to Bryson, the heaters were not very efficient and they were planning on buying some solar panels to generate more heat at an efficient rate. "The solar panels will be here by Christmas this year, but right now they are tied up in red tape from the government. If the panels don't help, we will buy new heaters." However, at this time the first thing Bryson planned on doing was to get maintenance out to check and see if the heaters were working properly. They were supposed to have done all the cleaning and maintenance this summer. By five o'clock that evening, the heaters were working perfectly. Bryson said that the maintenance crew didn't know anything about the heaters because no one had brought the matter to him. They had no idea that Simmons Hall wasn't receiving hot water. If students would take a stand and go talk to someone who is in authority, things will get done a lot quicker and without too much hassle. BANNER, Where Are You? The debate between the BANNER and the ASB Executive Council continues to swell as the '83-84 year gets underway. The debate centers on the issue whether to publish the BANNER on a weekly versus a bi-weekly basis. The ASB Executive Council which has now been given responsibility for the BANNER, believes that a weekly newspaper is more beneficial for overall school spirit. The editorial staff of the BANNER which consisted of Joe Pinkerton and Barry Morris agreed that a weekly publication was in their opinion, better for the school but maintained that the work load is too great for the student staff. At the first ASB meeting, the Executive Council resolved the issue in part by voting to continue publishing on a weekly basis. Pinkerton tendered his resignation on the grounds of over committment to other campus activities and an increased academic load. BANNER advisor, Lynn Gilmore remained unworried. "I'm not worried at all about the situation," said Gilmore who also stated that she believed a weekly publication to be better for the overall student concern. On September 1, 1983 the BANNER restated their position in a letter addressing the controversy and requesting further consideration. "After all we are students too," wrote Morris. "We shouldn't be expected to reduce our academic load in order to serve on staff. This we feel, would defeat the purpose of student media." The ASB reaffirmed their committment to a weekly publication but President Kent Dacus admitted "If we can't hire a qualified staff by next week we will have no choice but to revert to publishing biweekly." Computers Are Big Business At CBC Students preparing for business careers at CBC will soon be learning computers through classroom and practical hands-on experience. In an attempt to keep up with the rapidly expanding role of computers in the market place, CBC's Business. Administration department has begun its first modular computer education program. • In a recent publication outlining the program the department states "CBC's business oriented approach to computer literacy provides students with a thorough understanding of the many careers and opportunities and future trends that make us the Information and Data Processing industry." Bob Jabs, Department Chairman, believes that a student with a basic understanding of computers need not be a totally accomplished technical person. The objects of their initial exposure is to acquaint the student with the nature of software and equipment used to perform business tasks. Further education is provided to build a fundamental "applications approach" that can be beneficially used in any area. "Our eventual goal is for every Business Administration major to acquire hands-on experience in every business course." Jabs also mentioned, "In the near future every Business Ad. major will own his own micro-computer and will bring it to class every day." Professor Jabs recognizes the 100 percent program at Dallas Baptist College and estimates that 100 percent of CBC business majors will soon follow suit. Z^lS..:
