=n The BANNER Vol. XXVIII Issue 10 California Baptist College February 17,1984 New President, Mandatory Chapel, Salary increases Trustee Meeting Brings Changes to CBC The board of trustees of California Baptist College met Feb. 2-4 in the A. J. Staples room to discuss business of the college. Recommendations approved by the board included the appointment of an interim president, mandatory chapel, salary increases for faculty and staff, and the establishment of a dorm maintenance fund. In an emotion filled final address, Dr. James Staples spoke of faculty and staff salaries, saying they are indeed underpaid. "I'm sorry," commented Staples in an unsteady voice. He then reported on the Bold Venture campaign and the deficit stating that he feels the school will finish the year "in the black." Staples also introduced Dr. Harold K. Graves as interim president of CBC. Dr. Graves will take office effective March 1, 1984. Dr. Staples ended his address by urging the trustees to "keep the pressure on" toward removing the deficit. Dr. James Morton, chairman of the board of trustees, welcomed Dr. Graves to CBC. Dr. Graves, 72, is former president of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary near San Francisco. He was the speaker for the first commencement exercise of Cal Baptist in El Monte in 1954.

This will be done with students themselves will play a 6% of the proposed 11% tui- major role in the creation of tion raise. this code." Dr. Harold K. Graves presented a list of 20 items to be put into effect by the school. All 20 of the recommmen- dations were approved by the trustees. The recommendations include a raise in salary A fund of $19,500 will be set aside for dorm upkeep and maintenance and a budgetary reserve of $30,000 will be established. Beginning next fall, all freshmen and sophomores will be required to attend chapel. This is due primarily to space limitations and the inadequate facilities to seat all students. Another of the recommendations was the enforcement of a dress code. Although there is already a statement about the dress code in the school catalog, the Implementation Committee asked that it Trustees also voted on recommendations to hire an attorney to advise the school in matters dealing with faculty, the implementation of an In-Service Guidance Program in the Religion Department, a $200,000 increase in the college's line of credit and the elimination of accumulated sick leave payments when employees leave. Also, an honorary doctorate was given to J. L. Harden; Jerry King was promoted from instructor to assistant professor, and Margaret Dana was promoted from associate to full professor. Preview Day at CBC Some new faces will be seen on our campus this weekend. They have come to learn more of our school in hopes of finalizing their college decisions. Throughout Preview Day, various tours and seminars concerning admissions, financial aid, and college transition are scheduled to acquaint future students with CBC. The seminars contain many useful facts that' will help in choosing a college, but our attitude towards them and CBC will also play a major part in their decision, "I estimate between 150 and 200 students attending Preview Day," said John Potter, director of admissions. "I hope (students) will make our campus visitors feel welcome during their stay here." Later in the evening a hayride is planned. Although it is part of our Homecoming activities, everyone is invited and encouraged to join in on the fun. This is a great opportunity to meet and get to know the previewers. The hayride, sponsored by BSU's Freshman Council, starts at 7:30 Friday evening in the open field near the Book of Life building. There will be a basketball game Saturday night at 5 pm between the Alumni and the College All Stars. A ceremony for the Athletic Hall of Fame will begin at 7, and new members will be inducted. The highlight and finale of Homecoming Week begins at 8 pm, the Homecoming basketball game. This year-the Cal Baptist Lancers host the Grand Canyon Antelopes. During halftime the Homecoming Court will be presented, and the new Homecoming Queen announced. This year's Royal Lady will be crowned by the reigning Queen, Karen Jungers. The members of the 1984 court are Jackie Barling, Edith Duffey, Glenda Johnson, Paige Paul and Sherri Willborn. Friday and Saturday's activities will provide several opportunities to meet some of the Preview Day visitors while showing our Lancer spirit, too! Many of the prospective students will spend the night in the dorms. Take time to introduce yourself and help if assistance is needed. The extra effort will be appreciated. by Renee Daniel Why are these people smiling? You are my Sunshine Solar Panels Placed on Dorms See page 3 Solar panels were placed on both dormitories and on top of two of the Lancer Arms buildings during interterm. Tanks have been placed by both dorms to store water heated by the solar panels. The school is paying nothing for the panels or their installation. The panels belong to the California Energy Investment Corporation, which has hired Universal Solar Systems Incorporated to install them. The time of com pletion was set for February 6. California Energy Investment Corp. is leasing space on the roofs, and the energy obtained by the solar panels is sold at a lower rate than if it were bought from the gas company. The city water supply will pass into the solar panels, and the heated water will then be kept inside storage tanks. When hot water is needed, the warmer water will be able to heat up faster, thus saving energy. During winter, the solar panels will not be operating at their maximum capacity, however, at mid-summer the water heaters will not be needed. Although there have been side effects — early morning noise, tire tracks across the lawn, damaged trees and plants-the solar panels seem to indicate some sort of action by the school. Whether good or bad remains to be seen.
