Board to work on pay, land
By Dan Kohn
Editor of The Banner
Teacher salaries and a possible
land deal head the agenda as the
Board of Trustees meet on campus this weekend for their May
1990 meeting. 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 recommendation asks that

salaries be raised until "median
salary levels reach 97% to 103%
of the median salary levels of the
ten competing Christian colleges
in Southern California; and that
we accept the goal of reaching
this salary level by the 1994-
1995 budget year."
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-

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.
