noticed it first. Amy Benner
stopped in mid-sentence and
looked straight up. At that time I
saw the backdrop moving, like in
waves, and then I saw Amy's eyes
widen, and so did Michelle Dar-
rah's, and she took off running!
And that's when I decided, 'OK,
this is gonna be a big one!' and I
took off running and yelled, "OK,
everybody out! It's a big one!"
And everyone in the BOL-the
production staff, the cast, and the
crew--tried to cram into the loading dock door. At that point I
was rolling...I was laughing so
hard because all of these people
were trying to cram into one little
door space! It was hilarious!
Michelle Darrah: It was my
first one, and I was really, really
scared. I was on stage, and everything started rumbling. It was
rtally scary; everyone started dashing for the door-Melody [Yocum]
ran for the door. In the end I was
really terrified.
Boon Khaleet: I didn't feel it
at all. I was walking to the gym
to work out and I didn't feel anything.
Danny Bendel: Oh wow,
man. I was back in the shop
here; I couldn't believe it! The
stage started going up and down,
then side to side. Then Melody
jumped into my arms, and I said,

Tennis team has
international flavor
By Amy Johnson
Staff writer for The Banner	
If you have seen some new faces
on campus and they spoke with
various accents from around the
world, it could be that you've seen
the new Cal Baptist tennis team.
However, this is not Cal Baptist's first tennis team. The first
team originated in 1968, and in
1974 the tennis team was nationally ranked.
This year Cal Baptist was fortunate enough to gain an experienced coach to take the Pentz Tennis Center and create an
international tennis team, with
members from 7 countries.
Reddy Gustine, head tennis
coach, had previously been a tennis coach at the University of California at Riverside. Gustine resigned from this position because
he believed he would prefer to be
at a school with a stronger Christian atmosphere. Before coaching
at UCR, Gustine was the assistant
coach at the University of Notre
Dame. Prior to this, Gustine was
involved with the Chinese Jr. Davis Cup team.
Gustine explained that this international team was possible by
"a lot of luck, and a lot of hard
work". Through having a lot of
tennis years under his belt, Gus
tine has attained contacts and
knows where to look for the best
players.
These players include Tamer El
Sawy (Egypt) a number one
player on Egypt's Davis Cup
team. Frank Ofori (Ghana) was
placed number one in Africa for
the 18 and under age division.
Dave Fontaine (France) is a two-
time collegiate All-American. Jonas Molin (Sweden) is ranked in
Sweden. Tyson Bond (USA- Texas) was the consolation winner in
5/6 Tournament of Intercollegiates
in San Diego. Andre Jones
(USA- Long Beach) was ranked in
the top 50 of Jr. College players.
Murray Tanner (New Zealand)
was ranked #4 in New Zealand for
the 16 and under age division.
Paul Norton (USA- CA.) played
high school tennis at Lancaster
High. Todd Moerer (USA-CA.)
played #1 at Mt. Shasta Junior
College. Paul Cheng (Taiwan-
CA.) played four years at Red-
lands High, and one year at San
Bernadino Jr. College.
"I'm pleasently surprised that,
with such a wide variety of cultures and personalities, they are
getting along very well. They
are a classy group of men, who
are very religious and display

Library changes announced
In an effort to improve library
services on campus, Annie Gabriel library director Stephen Gately has announced changes in some
library policies. In a memo released to faculty, staff, and students, Gately outlines changes designed to enhance library service
and correct circulation problems.
The memo reported the establishment of an information desk
to be staffed by a librarian Mon.-
Fri. from 8 am to 5 pm. The primary function of the desk is to
provide a central location for students to receive help from library
staff. The desk is located across
from the card catalog on the first
floor.
In another change, the back entrance leading to the library office
will remain locked during all
hours. Library users will have to
enter through the circulation area.
This change was instituted to provide greater security for the libr-
rary collection.
A more stringent fine system
has been instituted in order to im-
