The BANNER Vol XXIX, Issue 10 California Baptist College March 29,1985 Music in the Air! Music filled the "air" as CBC imitated there favorite groups in the Semi-annual air guitar contest. Top: The winners, boggie woogie to victory. Bottom: The "Village People" laud the local YMCA. Photos by: Chuck Mohn I Phone Home, Again ••••••••••• Plans for the 1985 Phonathon are underway as the college gears up for what some hope will be the best year ever. The Phonathon is a "carefully structured telephone fund-raising campaign" for the college. This year it is being led by Vicky Rainbow, Marjorie Tuck and Anthony Lammons. Jon Rainbow is the Staff Liason to this group and has helped to outline the procedures for the Phonathon. The Phonathon consists of students, staff, and faculty volunteers spending a few hours contacting friends of the college in an attempt to raise funds. The dates for the Phonathon are May 6-9. There are four committees organizing the event. Karen Alexander is in charge of Prospects and Records; which includes gathering a prospect list and organizing the pledge forms and equipment for the Phonathon. Cindy Nolan, a student at CBC, will head up the committee for the callers. She will work with the Unit Leaders and Team Captains. The location and Arrangement Committee will be led by Sherilyn Musgraves. Her committee will arrange for the telephone equipment, refreshments during the Phonathon, and will make plans for the Victory Dinner to be held on May 10 for those who participated. Publicity will be headed up by Ken Miller. "The students will have a part in the school's income, they will also have a chance to work with public relations when talking to the con tracts," says Jon Rainbow. He also feels that the students will gain a sense of camaradarie and community when dealing with fellow students as well as staff and faculty. The Phonathon teams will consist of one captain and four callers. Everyone is encouraged to take part. As an added bonus, there will be special incentives for the teams that make the most phone calls, raise the most money, etc. There will also be individual incentives offered. Anthony Lammons hopes to see clubs and wings organize into teams and compete against each other. "The incentives are great this year, I hope we have a lot of student paticipation," says Lammons. A training session for callers will be held May 1-2 for those helping. New Student Laws Proposed Voting ends tonight on the new constitution for the student body of CBC. The new constitution was approved in a special session of the Student Senate earlier this week. Work on the new constitution actually began last spring, under the Dacus Administration. Due to the immense size of the project, work on the new plan was carried over to this year. The new constitution was developed by a committee of nine students. These people were Kent Dacus and John McCombs, who served on last year's committee, Doug Holl- inger, Shawn Taylor, Joe Pinkerton, Tim Brown, Stacy Manly, Bob Pomroy, and Allen Payton. "The old constitution has too many inconsistencies," stated Allen Payton, ASB President. "It just doesn't work for us (the students)." The old constitution was drawn up in 1982. The goals for the new constitution are to be more realistic, and to create a more effective student government. According to the new constitution, there will be many changes in the student government structure. The present Student Senate will become an activities board chaired by the Activities Director. Club representation for events and other activities will be directed through here. The new Student Senate will be made up of 13 elected members (3 from each class, one graduate student) and the ASB Vice President. Class presidents will automatically become senators. All senators will be paid an amount equivalent to one unit, each semester. Also included in the new See pg. 4 RA's Will Face Changes The annual process of choosing a new Resident Hall - staff is once again under way. Each year many students apply in hopes of becoming a part of the RA staff. This year is no different. The applications have been completed and turned in and the applicants must wait until the next step of the procedures~the interviews. Those chosen will be faced with new and challenging responsibilities. Jennifer Downey and Willie Hamlett are the Resident Hall directors for the womens and mens Resident Halls, respectively. Both are former students of CBC and are also former RA's. Each see many similarities in the duties of an RA in comparison to today, but they also see some differences. The current duties include taking charge of a wing in one of the dorms, this is no different. A major change in the RA duties came under the guidance of the new Dean of Students, Dennis Sheridan. Through his new disciplinary program, the RA's are to have a larger role in the process. Sheridan clearly listed the new guidelines set out and hopes that the clear and concise explanation of what is expected of each student will help to decrease any potential problems. The other responsibilities of an RA include maintaining a quality peace on the wing. This sometimes may not be as easy as it may sound. The life of an RA is perhaps enviable, but with every rose there is often a thorn. Downey and Hamlett both agree that the trying times produce stronger people. "When reaching down for the strength, patience, and understanding to help a wingmate, the RA learns to develop these qualities to their potential," says Downey. Hamlett agrees, and adds that he is proud of the current staff and believes that they are giving their best. It isn't an easy job, it takes a special kind of person to be an RA. "Being an RA isn't always the way I thought it would be," says one staffer, "I didn't expect to be a part of the disciplinary process.'' Another staff member stated that, "although being an RA is rewarding, it is also frustrating at times. Overall, however it does balance and I do enjoy it." The final decisions will be made next month and the announcement of the 1985-86 Resident Hall staff will be made shortly after. Those who become RA's will be given a scholarship and will be expected to attend orientation at the end of this school year and at the beginning of fall term. Renee Daniel
