Sheridan Settling in as Dean "I knew that it was right," states new Vice- President of Student Life Dennis Sheridan, speaking of his new position at CBC, "it let all my past experience focus at one point." Sheridan who feels God has called him as an educator, thinks that the CBC job was "an affirmation of ministry possibilities that affirmed God's leadership." But education, to Sheridan, is not restricted to the classroom. He feels that learning is everyone's responsibility. "All staff are educators from the Dean right down to the RA's. We all share in the task of developing students academically, spiritually and physically." The path that has brought Sheridan to CBC is an interesting one. Somewhere between teaching high school and working on his Master's degree, Sheridan began working as a head resident at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. This combination of roles served the dual purpose of giving Sheridan "a heart for students" and reorientated Sheridan's idea of teaching to "beyond the classroom." After two months at CBC Sheridan sees CBC's people as its strongest point, noting that, "the students and staff have a special character." The weakest area, Sheridan feels, is that CBC seems to have lost its capacity to dream. "We The Dennis Sheridan need to be able to believe that we can be one of the finest institutions in the state, even the nation." Sheridan also has definite feelings on his role as VP of students. When asked if he saw himself as an advocate for the administration or as a student advocate, Sheridan was quick to respond. "I see myself as fighting that kind of us/them attitude. We're small enough that a better relationship than that can exist." When questioned on chapel, which he is now in charge of, Sheridan noted that he is excited about it. Sheridan sees chapel as an opportunity to gather as a community, worship God, and to gather to learn. "It is not, however, a time to be entertained, it's a time to participate." Sheridan wants chapel to be consistently good. However, as most students are aware, there are ways to "ditch" chapel. Next year, the system will be much tighter and chapel credits will be required to graduate. If, however, one is caught, Sheridan forsees "educative consequences", adding that "it's inappropriate to punish someone for not worshipping." The role that Sheridan must now take is a difficult one. For over a year, there has only been an acting VP of Students. Since coming in, Sheridan has tried rapidly to fill this void. Student reaction has been mixed. Many students were disturbed by Sheridan's handling of two mandatory dorm meetings last month. However, Sheridan's staff is quick to defend him. "We've been complaining that we have no one that will show some backbone, and what do we do when we get one? We throw a fit when he says 'no' ", exclaimed one staff member, "would you rather he played a game of 'beat it around the bush'?" Regardless, Sheridan after only a short time at CBC, seems to be aware of the problems and is more than willing to tackle them. —Joe Pinkerton BANNER Vol. XXIX, Issue 9 California Baptist College March 15, 1985 Enrollment Across Nation Decreasing (CPS) — Since the drop in enrollment last year, CBC has gone into a "Planned defecit" in the hopes that 75 students will be added in the next two years.
