Trustees will vote on a recommendation to raise faculty salaries that has been subject of much discussion in recent months. The recommendation to be presented to the board was the subject of a specially called Faculty Meeting on April 25 as President Russell Tuck attempted to decrease faculty hostility over low salaries. He called the meeting "positive," though he concedes that not all faculty members were pleased.

The faculty approved the plan, believing it would guarantee raises, but Tuck stated that he had only agreed to a "goal" to be reached The minutes of the April 25 meeting stated that "Dr. Tuck strongly emphasized that he accepts the challenge of reaching the goal of raising salaries over the next five years. He is committed to putting energy into doing everything he can to raise salaries, but the outcome is ultimately dependent on the finances of the College and how well we are doing in regards to: enrollment, tuition, gifts and cooperative programs." Faculty members are hopeful that the board will accept the proposal. Faculty Association President Dr. Edward Harvey relayed the hope that Tuck will work for the raises. "We are going to believe him to be in good faith," said Harvey. Harvey expressed the desire that faculty members be made more of a priority in building the budget, saying, "Every year there are programs in the budget that are not touched, that are sacred cows; we want to be one of those sacred cows." Harvey also predicted there will be a large faculty presence at the board meeting on Saturday morning, "Saturday is going to be exciting!" The board will also consider various proposals to develop a 15 acre lot bordering Magnolia Avenue. Tuck revealed that the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees has been working via conference calls to narrow down the choices among developers. "I think we have some excellent offers," stated Tuck. Tuck noted that most of the offers involved selling the land. The 15 acre lot was deemed ex- See Board, p.8 Riverside mayor Terry Frizzel in A J Staples room. (Photo by Brenda Flowers) Mayor Frizzel visits Cal Baptist By William Armstrong Assistant Editor for The Banner Last Friday, as a part of the wide range of Earth Day activities, our campus was visited by the Mayor of Riverside, Terri Frizzel, who addressed students and faculty alike in the A.J. Staples room at 10:00am. Frizzel, who was elected in January of this year, presented a formal speech which dealt largely with the difficulties of balancing the preservation of the environment with the economic- and population-based growth of the city. When speaking of the growth of Riverside, Frizzel stated that growth in this area is inevitable, but that it should be controlled, as it has been since 1870. Her most recent concern was over the growth-management plan now in effect, which was adopted in the late 1970s. She hopes to develop a new plan in collaboration with the City Planning Commision which will continue to be valid through the year 2000. Steps taken towards this goal include two public surveys, an inventory of our public utilities, and a comprehensive demograhic profile. She urged, however, that the adoption of such a plan should not cause us to sacrifice our lifestyles. Riverside citizens are sensitive to the environment, and Frizzel expressed her awareness of that, as well as her pride. The City Council set aside $2000 for Earth Day in Riverside, and supported a resolution for participation. Frizzel also labeled the '90s as "The Decade of the Environment." In presenting her willingness to show her support of that label, she mentioned various civic ac tivities which were geared towards the preservation of the environment. These included the 1989 Conference of Mayors, at which the Environmental Bill of Rights was adopted; the Global Cities Project, which Frizzel described as an innovative way to help the environment; the Environmental Protection Commission, a group of eleven members whose job it is to curb the voracious appetite of home developers fcr larger and larger portions of land for their housing projects; ar I the Riverside Commission, which has supported numerous environmental programs, such as energy conservation, water and waste reduction, anti-pollution laws, recycling, and industrial modifications. Frizzel also expressed her pleasure at Riverside's response to Earth Day, April 22, and concluded by saying, "We must make every day of our lives Earth Day." After the speech, she fielded questions from her audience. Other Earth Day activities last week included continuous films in the No Exit, the March for Parks last Saturday, environmentally-oriented panel and classroom d scussions, and numerous can, plastic, glass, and paper drives.
