The BANNER Volume XXXII Number 5 California Baptist College November 6, 1987 Dr. Harvey Visits Weaponry Island by D. Nathaniel Alway Who snores loudly and has bad breath? Perhaps your roommate or your spouse exhibits these qualities. Well, Dr. Edward Harvey, chairman of the division of natural sciences, recently discovered that elephant seals also have these annoying traits. Harvey had the opportunity to get close to these as well as many other animals between October 26 and 28 when he took a ttip to San Nicolas, oneof the Channel Islands. Because the United states Navy maintains a tracking station and conducts weapons testing on and around the island, it is generally very difficult for scientists to get on the island. Thus, Dr. Harvey was elated when CBC student Garland Burrell, who works for one of the civilian contractors on San Nicolas, was able to obtain permits for Harvey and his wife to visit the island. During the trip, Harvey and his wife were guests of the Navy. Burrell acted as a guide for the duration of their stay. Harvey said that his purpose for the trip was "to better acquaint himself with life on the (Channel) Islands." While on the island; he observed stellar seals and elephant seals. He was able to walk right into the midst of the seals, and he took many photographs of them. He also looked at many shells, and made field classifications of plants he found on the island. Dr. Harvey also saw many artifacts of the Indians who occupied the island up until the late 19th century. He said that artifacts were so plentiful that winds uncovered vast amounts of them. He also saw Indian burial grounds and paintings on the walls of caves. Although Harvey would like to conduct field trips to San Nicolas, their occurrence is very unlikely due to the sensitivity of the naval station ihere. There is, however, another opportunity for students to conduct research in the Channel Islands. Dr. Harvey will offer a special Marine Biology course during inter-term and spring 1988. Each course features a 3-day stay aboard the research ship "Conqueror," owned by Newport Christian Schools. During the trips, students will conduct experiments on and around Catalina Island. The course, designated Biology 412, provides upper division credit and meets the general education lab science requirement. Students interested in going should sign up at the science office and pre-register. The course will cost the same as a regular 4-credit course plus a $40 fee for food. Calvin Miller Challenges Students Chapel Series is a Success On October 28, 29, and 20, noted Christian author Dr. Calvin Miller, brought a challenging message of servanthood to California Baptist College. As this year's Staley lecturer, Dr. Miller spent three days at Cal Baptist speaking in chapel and meeting with the faculty and students. Choosing to focus on a passage in Phillipians chapter two, Dr. Miller's chapel messages addressed "The Mind of a Servant," "The Form of a Servant, " and "The Discipline of a Servant" Following chapel each day, Dr. Miller had an informal question and answer time with students and faculty members. He answered questions ranging from church growth to world religions. On Wednesday, Dr. Miller, who has authored 19 books of popular theology and inspiration, presented his story "The Scarlet Redding" during a luncheon with the faculty and staff. Thursay afternoon, a reception was held for Dr. Miller in the Victorian Room of the library. Later that evening, he was invited to dinner by the BSU Executive Council. Dr. Miller, who has served as MELODIE YOCUM A Multi-Faceted Performer by Daniel P. Pryfogle Whether a performer or director, working in the theatre is familiar for California Baptist College drama instructor Melodie Narramore Yoc- um. In addition to heading Cal Baptist's new drama program, Yocum is a performer in her own right. Five years ago, she authored a one-woman presentation, "They Beheld His Glory," a series of sketches on women who knew Christ. With a combination of music, drama, and scripture, she has taken her presentation throughout the U.S. and overseas, including one year in Australia where she performed in churches and schools, using drama as an evangelistic tool. Performing in a variety of places, with small and large audiences, she saw a need for a very adaptable program, one with simple costuming and without sets. She wanted "something distinctive" that focused on the performance rather than on technical aspects. "/ wanted something distinctive that focused on performance rather than technical aspects" Prior to joining the Cal Baptist faculty, she taught drama for six years at Biola University, where she earned her B.A. degree. Yocum, who also has a M.A. degree in theatre arts from California State University, Los Angeles, was intro duced to Cal Baptist through a performance she gave for Cal Baptist's GUILD. She still presents her dramatization, but she has cut down on touring since her arrival at Cal Baptist. Combining with her husband, Paul, she also performs a "reader's theatre," a dramatic presentation with emphasis on literature. Her talents do not end with drama. She has recorded three albums, the first a solo work entitled "Melodie." Her second album, "Songs of Praise," was a duet with her brother, Kevin Narramore. Her third album is a recorded version of her dramatization entitled "They Beheld His Glory."
