Scholarship formula changed
Trustees revise financial aid
By  Sheri  Williamson
Assistant Editor
Students who are receiving institutional aid will be affected by
the changes that were made regarding in- house scholarships at
the Board of Trustees meeting on
Feb. 8.
A motion was passed to change
scholarships previously awarded
as a percent of tuition into an
award of a flat dollar amount.
Also new eligibility requirements
for some of the awards have been
established. The changes will be
effective with the 1991-1992
school year.
Dennis Sheridan, Vice-
President of Student Life, stated
three reasons for the restructuring
which took place.
First, he stated that there is an
"attempt to begin moving to academic scholarships earned while a
student is in college." Second,
the changes took place to try to
get better control of the budget.
Rate Hike:
ustees
to make increases in tuition,
room and board
for dorm residents
Lancer Arms.
ASCBC:

Lastly Sheridan said that "the catalog lacks clarity, there is too
much vagueness."
These changes were made as an
attempt to provide clarity and understanding about institutional
scholarships.
Dr. Steve Carleton, Academic
Dean, was in agreement with the
reasons for the changes. He stated that this will provide "a system that is a little more managa-
ble...there won't be so many
open-ended scholarships."
Because the motion was only
passed for the 1991-1992 school
year, the Board will have to place
this item on their agenda again
next year. Sheridan gave some
assurance when he stated that this
item would be like the budget. It
would be automatic that the Trustees would consider financial aid
policy from year to year. Carleton commented that the "the
Board will have to struggle with
the decisions to increase aid as inflation occurs."
Vondella McCombs, who is
the Financial Aid Director, stated
that there is one policy change of
which all students should be
aware of. Those students who are
applying for, or already have institutional aid, must complete a
financial aid file by Nov. 1 for
fall semester and by April 1 for
the spring semester to maintain
eligibility for institutional scholarships.
Listed below is a comparison
of institutional scholarships that
were given in 1990-1991 and
those that will be given in 1991-
1992 with the changes made.
1990-1991:
Academic   Scholarships
up to $800 for F/SP
up to $300 for I/SM
Val/Sal   Scholarship
up to 100% of tuition
Athletic   Scholarship
up to 100% of tuition

Students, alumni celebrate homecoming festivities

Special
Last week, from Monday, February 18 to Saturday, February
23, was Homecoming week.
Lori Bowls, the ASCBC Vice
President coordinated the activities which culminated in the
Homecoming Basketball Game
and the Formal Introduction of
the Homecoming Court
The Van Dyne Field House was
filled Saturday evening at 7:30
p.m. as past and current students
gathered to cheer on the Lancers
and observe the Homecoming festivities. Among the people in attendance were Steve Berzansky
and Daniel Pryfogle, recent
ASCBC presidents.
The evening began with an
opening prayer by Gordon Hannon,    a   Homecoming Court
nominee.   The national anthem
was sung by David Andrews,
the Communications Director for
the ASCBC. Then the game began.
The CBC Lancers played
against the Fresno Pacific Sunbirds. Spirits were high as the
Lancers held the lead during the
first half of the game. However
the game turned around and the
Fresno Pacific Sunbirds won.
During the half time, the
Homecoming Court was introduced. Shaylene Davis and Sidney Jackson were chosen as the
Freshman Prince and Princess.
Sidney was not able to br there,
so Greg Maher stood in for him.
Veola White, the ASCBC Program Coordinator and Jason Bartlett were chosen as the Sophomore Prince and Princess. Jason
was nott able to attend, so Lee
Burton filled in for him. Melissa
(Missy) Despain, the ASCBC
Secretary and Jamie Coston, the
ASCBC President were nominated as the Junior Prince and Prin
cess.
The Senior Homecoming Court
was led by Teresa (Terry) Sutherland and Lonnie Kalapp. Lonnie
could not be there, so Terry was
escorted by her father, Mr. Ronald
Sutherland. They were followed
by Kathy Dean and Gordon Hannon. The third couple were Alfre-
da Edwards and Patrick Hodg-
kins.They were followed be
Debbie Gray and Gary Nikodym.
The final couple include"d Dawn
Walker, and Mike Baldwin. The
1990 Homecoming King and
Queen, Eric Van Patten and Kerri
Hollinger, came out to crown the
1991 winners. Gordon Hannon
and Debbie Gray were crowned
the new King and Queen.
The Homecoming Game and
the Homecoming Court announcements are probably seen as
the most important events of the
Homecoming week. But there
were also numerous other activities to participatie in this year.
In addition to Saturday night's
events, there were two other basketball games that took place earlier on Saturday. The first one
began at 3:30 p.m., between the
Junior Varsity team and the
Alumni team which won. The
next basketball game began at
5:30 p.m. and was between the
Lady Lancers and the Fresno Pacific girls basketball team. The
Lady Lancers lost. During Lady
Lancer's halftime, alumni cheerleaders performed with current
cheerleaders.
There were class competitions
all week to celebrate Homecoming. On Monday, February 18,
food relays were held. On Tuesday, February 19, it was " Support the Troops " Day. Students
wore yellow ribbons and carried
American flags.
On Wednesday, students had to
guess their class officers on the
chapel bulletins. Thursday was
