The nner Volume XXXV, Number 11 A Publication of the Students of Cal Baptist April 5, 1991 A/C not operational Library in shambles Don Poss has been hired as the new director of Public Safety. (Photo by thorn Bradley) Public Safety director hired My Tom Pace Editor Last week, a new public safety director was selected to head Cal Baptist's Public Safety department. Don Poss, a former officer of the Long Beach Police Department, is now on duty as director of Public Safety. Poss has had twenty years of law enforcement experience, in addition to his most recent post as a computer analyst and programmer. He has attended Cal State Long Beach and the Computer Learning Center in Anaheim and received degrees in criminology and computer science, which will be used in his new position. In addition to Poss's formal education, he has received extensive training in the field of law enforcement during his tenure on the LBPD. When asked why he decided to come to Cal Baptist, Poss responded, "My first love was law enforcement." He continued, "This is a chance to serve the Lord and get paid for it." Poss said that he desired to have an opportunity to incorporate his law enforcement experience with his data processing skills to serve the campus. "I want to bring a level of personal service to the students, faculty, and staff." The new director sees his role as being a "peacemaker, not a headbreaker." He continued by saying, "There are problems here, but they can all be addressed in a professional manner." His current plans for the department include the implementation of an intensive training program for his staff and the completion of the department manual, which will help officers in questions of procedure. He also wants to acquire mountain bikes to make the foot patrol officers more mobile and to place a shield on the department's vehicle to make it a more visible deterrent to would- be crime perpetrators. "What Public Safety needs is the eyes and ears of the Cal Baptist community to help make this a safer community," the new di: rector said. He emphasized that campus security is only possible with full cooperation of the community. "This is not an ivory tower, this is your Public Safety." "We're people too, and we appreciate courtesy as much as you do," said Poss, expressing concern for good relations between campus security and the college community. Poss sees his greatest challenge as providing an increased level of "training and law enforcement." He hopes to use his experience to benefit campus security by providing training for the student officers in CPR, search and seizure laws and the laws of arrest. "I want to bring in a more professional level of training," said Poss. Recruiting new officers to replace those who will not be on the force next semester and are graduating is another concern for Poss. He also indicated that-he would like to have some females apply for positions as officers. By Paul Edwards Staff Writer A dispute between the Honeywell Corporation and California Baptist College is cited as the reason that the library's air- conditioning cogenerational unit has not functioned since installation. ' While the system is operable, it cannot be operated until Honeywell turns over the new aircon- ditioning equipment to the college. The college has refused to accept the equipment until the contract dispute is settled. "The lease was lopsided in their (Honeywell's) favor," explained Dr. Don Evans, Vice President for Business Affairs for the college. The college made an agreement to lease the equipment for ten years as part of an overall contract with Honey weir for energy management. After reviewing the proposal, the college determined that the agreement was not satisfactory. "The Honeywell people did not respond too quickly," said Evans, giving the reason for the delay in resolving the dispute.

Due to miscalculations by the designer, a pipe will have to be moved before the snack bar can be opened. According to Jamie Coston, it will be about four weeks before all the changes are completed. The awning that currently reads "Legends Cafe" will be changed to "Wanda's Place" along with other modifications. generation and air conditioning system was given by the college's Board of Trustees in November of 1987. The unit, which is supposed to provide year-round temperature control for the library, was installed over a period of months beginning in August-September of 1990, in accordance with the contract's schedule. According to Evans, an agreement has been reached on the lease dispute and, pending final word from attorneys, the unit will soon be operational. The new agreement is "equitable to both parties," he said. This is encouraging news for Stephen Gateley, Library Services Director for the Annie Gabriel Library. According to Gateley, since the unit's installation, "it just sits here. We don't think too much about it." The air-conditioning unit is only one of Gateley's numerous concerns about library maintenance.
