Happy Thanksgiving From The Banner The BANNER Volume XXXn Number 6 California Baptist College November 24,1987 Trustees Raise Tuition Again by Don Alexander Editor There seems to be some good news and some bad news prevailing after every trustee meeting. This time we must deal with a tuition increase again, but it is a smaller increase than we may have seen for some time now. On Saturday, November 7, the trustees of California Baptist College unanimously approved a 4.1% tuttion increase for the 1988-89 school year. The cost per mit will go up from $169.00 a unit to $176.00 a unit next year. The increase was set in accordance with the Consumer Prix Index, which simply means we are keeping up with the national average rate of inflation. Bates Ivey, who has chaired the trustees business affairs committee, said, "this is the smallest increase since I've been on the board." In addition to the tuition increase, a new energy management program to be headed up by Tom Hixson was approved. Mr. Hixson will be working with the Honeywell corporation in a program that is forecasted to save the college Briefs Financial Aid To all students: An explanation of the tax reform act of 1986 is available in the Office of Student Financial Services. Should you be in need of this publication kindly stop by the Office of Student Financial Services between the hours of 9:00-12:00 and 1:00-4:00. Counseling Students with questions or facing difficulties have available to them six graduate interns who make up the Counseling Center. Appointments can be scheduled in the Behavior Science Office on the second floor. approximately $47,000 over the next nine years. The program will include a new boiler, air conditioning for the library, and refurbishing the dorm air conditioning system. It should take about six to eight months to have everything in place. Trustee Dana Horn said, "this is an excellent proposal for the college." Sabbaticals were granted to Dr. Ken Futch, Professor of English, and to Dr. Robert Jabs of the Business Department. Dr. Futch was approved for the fall 1988 semester and Dr. Jabs for spring semester in 1989. Noel Scott, Assistant Professor of Education, was awarded tenure. The trustees also met on Friday, November 6, in the afternoon. The first order of the meeting was roll call by Janice Sutton, secretary to Dr. Russell Tuck. Next Willie Gaines, pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church in San Jose, arose to give a bold Scripture reading and prayer. Pastor Gaines stated that we must not "spend the night in the lions den" unless we have had #l-a daily devotion and prayer, #2--came dressed with a garment of praise, and #3--have gotten a good night's rest. The highlight of the November 6 meeting was a speech given by trustee Nolan Kennedy of Monterey, CA. Mr. Kennedy is an attorney with Hoge, Fenton, Jones and Appel, Inc, in Monterey. Kennedy vivaciously attacked stagnancy in the role of the trustee by pointing out his sole responsibility to the college. "We must do our best with our time, realizing the vital nature of our problems and issues we are the most effective pipeline this college can have" Kennedy said "trustees, let's not be the weak link in the system, it is our responsibility to ultimately lead, plan and be responsible. We must do our best with our time, realizing also the vital nature of our problems and issues, we are the most effective pipeline this college can have." Kennedy spoke from experience and shared about his own Baptist education at the pre and post graduate level. His speech was truly inspiring and filled with an undebateable honest love for the Lord. Kennedy received a standing ovation from both trustees and students in the A.J. Staples room. Not to be overlooked was the statement "we have a dream" by Kennedy in the beginning of the meeting. The "dream" includes a better library, improved educational opportunities, and improved salaries for teachers. With the dream comes a rather frightening task. We must overcome a $728,545 budget deficit that has occured in the past three years. Cal Baptist president, Dr. Russell Tuck spoke soon after Kennedy and gave the presidents report. He shared some thoughts that he had spoken in chapel and faculty meetings. They were: #l-we are a Christian institution, #2--we are a liberal arts college, and #3~we are Southern Baptist. Dr. Tuck effectively commented that we have a dual purpose as a college, #l-as in John 15:5 we must realize that Christ is the vine, we are the branches, and without him (Christ the vine) we are nothing. We will wither away. Dr. Tuck looked back upon his career as a geologist to show how his experience helped him to see this Scripture more clearly. #2--We are to follow Matthew 28:19 where we are told to go into all the world, and tell and teach everyone the gospel of Jesus Christ. Science Division Moves Forward by Daniel Pryfogle Students and faculty in California Baptist College's Science Division have been very busy in the last few weeks. Dr. Ed Harvey, professor of natural science, met with nine students who plan to travel to the Galapagos Islands next June. For an entire month, they will study marine science, plant and animal succession, and natural history of the islands located 600 miles off the coast of Equador. October 24 to 25, students Glen Kirpatrick, Gene Lazar and his son Letter of Commendation Awarded Trustee Noland Kennedy Dr. Tuck said $852,000 from the Cooperative Program went direcdy to students in the form of scholarships this year. Dr. Tuck spoke with great diligence, as did Kennedy, and both men are to be commended for their inspiring words. As students we may be happy, upset, or mad about these new decisions. Perhaps in the end we may find ourselves asking this question: can the trustees ever meet without raising tuition? Jamie, participated in the 66th Desert Palaver, in the Orocopia Mountains of Southern California. Started years ago by renown scientist Dr. Edmund C.

This was the third such conference that Cal Baptist's Science Division has attended in the last year. Cal Baptist had its own exhibit in the Riverside Health and Fitness Fair displaying general publicity of the college, science publications, and course offerings. Eight students of the college volunteered their services for the Oct. 24 fair, with one, Donald Kowatch, receiving a letter of commendation from the chamber of commerce for his "excellent volunteer work."
