ASCBC Shows Commitment To Students
"This year's ASCBC Executive Council desires to be
there for the students, and to
put the students needs first,"
says President Michelle
Lindholm. It is she who heads
up the seven member council.
Lindholm and her staff realize
that their greatest responsibility is to the students, and
was quoted to say that "if it
wasn't for the students, there
would be no ASCBC."
In an interview with Lindholm, she listed four major
goals to help students and to
help the council become involved with students.
The first of these goals is to
increase student academic
responsibility. She hopes that
the students will quit trying
to "pass the buck" by Warning
teachers and other circumstances for their academic
standings, and start striving
to do their best. This will help
students in showing responsibility to other students,
teachers, and most important
themselves.
The second goal is to provide
opportunities for student involvement. The ASCBC has
such organizations as the
Student Senate, the Judicial
Board, and various committees within the council as well
as the activities designed especially for students.
Thirdly, the ASCBC wants
to increase students awareness. The council wants students to be aware of the issues
that concern students. The
council has planned several
forums throughout the year
that speak on issues of today.
The fourth goal is to create
a sense of community on the
campus of CBC. The council
wants to encourage the build-,
ing of relationships between
the single students, married
students, faculty and staff.
Lindholm feels that each of
these groups Jiaye much to
offer each other.
Along with these four major
goals for this year, the ASCBC
has planned many activities
1985-86 Cheerleaders Chosen
throughout the school year to
help promote these goals.
Jon Jarboe, director of activities, has been at work preparing for this year. Such activities include Twirp Week, Air
Guitar, Lancer Bandstand,
Homecoming Week, Campus
Day, the Spring Concert, and
the Yule Festival.
Although the officers were
faced with a $10,000:00 deficit
from last year, Lindholm
hopes that the deficit won't
be the only thing people think
of when the ASCBC is mentioned. Instead she wants the
ASCBC to be looked at as a
group concerned with the,
needs of the students and the
betterment of our campus.
J.. "
The council consists of five
officers: Renee Sweat — Vice
President; John Gibson —
Business Manager; Debbie
Herr — Secretary; Stacy
Manley — Publicity; and
Lindy Ross, Intramurals
Director.
The office is open during
school hours, and students
are encouraged to come by
and get to know the officers.
Students are also welcome to
sit in on any of the Executive
Council Meetings which are
Mondays at 10:00 a.m. in the
ASCBC office. Office hours
and minutes from previous
meetings are posted outside
the office door located across
from the Student Life Office.
The last three positions on
the California Baptist College
1985-86 cheerleading squad
were filled September 6.
Andrea Jones, Cathy Clemans,
and Angie Rogers join previous
squad members Kathy Leong
and Gina Merriam.
Jones and Clemans were
the only applicants at last
Friday's closed tryouts. Gaye
Adams, former captain of the
cheerleading Lancers, participated as a judge. Six had
originally applied for the open
positions, but were forced to
drop out for various personal
reasons.
Leong, Merriam, and Jones
are past members of the squad.
Only Leong and Merriam,
however, were chosen at last
semester's tryouts. Jones had
then decided not to return to
the squad.
The fifth member of the
new cheerleaders, Angie
Rogers, had applied at the
Spring tryouts. She had been
invited to join the squad after
the current judges reviewed
the Spring scores and she
was the next available applicant with the highest scoring
percentage.
"I was surprised about being
asked," said Rogers., "we're
going to have to work extra
hard because of our late start.
We'll also be cheering for another sport - Soccer."
Sherilyn Musgraves, director of special programs, will
act as advisor to the cheerleaders. Musgraves is a former
student of the college. This is
her first year as the ladies'
advisor.
The ladies are anxious to
begin working this year. They
will be cheering at both
Lancers and Lady Lancers
basketball games as well as
supporting and cheering for
the volleyball and soccer
teams. When asked how she
felt about the squad and late
start, Kathy Leong replied, "I
am really excited. We'll have
a good squad, and even though
we're starting off late I don't
think it is too late to catch
up."

Students Can Go Back to BASICS
Soccer season is here! See page 4.
Whether your major is English, Religion, Social Science,
Education, Behavioral
Science, Business or one of
the 17 other majors offered
here at CBC, the Computer
Center has something for you..
Located on the first floor of
the main building in room
155, this year's Computer
Center is equipped with 11
Apple HE Computers and three
IBM's. The center is open for
your student use daily between the hours of one and
five p.m. and on Monday
evenings.
Although all students,
whether fluent in Basic and
Cobal or completely illiterate
with computer languages, are
invited to use the center to
suit their personal academic
needs. Fred Deer, director of
the center, suggests that the
center be used for serious assignments . by serio'us students. The computers are also
available for graphics on announcements or posters for
those who know how to use
those functions on the computer. Individual attention is
available to those users of the
Computer Center who really
need it; but Deer really prefers
that when he is flocked that
the students be self-starters.
You can usually find the
center teeming with people,
but there is almost always a
computer open. In addition to
the 50+ students who are currently enrolled in classes using
the Computer Center, an
average of 15 extra students
per day make use of one of
CBC's newest resources.
Other classes, such as in the
math and business fields,
make use of the Center
Said Computer Center coordinator Fred Deer, "We are
presently hoping to expand."
Trusting God for direction
and resources, Deer is believing that better equipment and
facilities will soon be provided.
The unscheduled arrival of
the Apple Macintosh will put
CBC's Computer Center on
the level of schools like Stanford and Brown University
where general-use computer
labs are concerned.
There are opportunities for
serious Computer students to
receive college credit (up to 18
units) for their supervised
work in the Computer Center.
The areas are specialized to
fit the interests and needs of
the students who become a
part of the program. To do so
one must set up an appointment with either Fred Deer or
Doug Dougherty to determine
what type of program would
best fit their needs. A list of
the available and required
classes for this major may be
obtained from the Computer
Center. Graduates of this particular program will receive
certification from the center.
If you have never been to
the Computer Center, check
it out. If you like computers
and don't have one on campus,
check it out. If you hate computers but have to find a way
to get those term papers done
professionally and quickly,
check it out. If you don't know
the difference between a
printer and a keyboard, check
it out. Regardless of your
major, the Computer Center
has something for you.
