The! nner Volume XXXVI, Number 5 A Publication of the Students of California Baptist College November 5, 1991 Budget shortfall expected; Action taken to keep CBC in the black By John Poston Staff Writer The administration of California Baptist College has been forced to freeze the earmarked funds of many of the college's departments. The 120,000 dollars to be withheld is divided between several of the college's major departments, and comes at a time when many are feeling the bite of the hurting economy. Specifically, the funds will, for now, be withheld in the following manner: Public Affairs will have $21,500 frozen; Business Affairs, $45,000; Student Life, $39,000, and instruction in general will have $18,680 frozen. Academic Dean Stephen Carleton laid out the proposals in detail. "What we have done is frozen some items, and we'll review where our budget is on December 31st. We're trying to be cautious because of our desire to stay out of the red," he stated. Dean Carleton felt that the impact on students would be minimal, but added, "I wouldn't be surprised if there was some tuition increase. "We don't have the taxpayers to bail us out, but we do have the same overhead costs to run this institution." President Russell Tuck commented as well about tightening the Cal Baptist financial belt. In referrence to the ongoing recession, President Tuck stated "We're fearful that the economy will reflect on our gifts, and we're expecting about $25, 000 less this year from our churches." He emphasized that part of the reason for the freeze of funds was to help the college's students directly. See Budget, page 4. Diary of Anne Frank a portrait of hope By Stacie Summers and S.

Beck was able to put together a fine ensemble cast. Beck's vision comes to life with the exuberant performance of Keri L. Overstreet in the title role. Her strong stage presence is demanding and insistent. Her honest portrayal of a precocious youth trapped within the walls of isolation is one of the best performances seen on the BOL stage. Paul Edwards in the role of young Peter Van Daan gives an equally believable performance of a modest "lone wolf who eventually finds comfort in intimacy. These two shining performances carry the action of the play, and highlight the play's spirit of life. Unfortunately, much of the despair of the period is absent from this performance. It is an awesome challenge for college students to try to tackle the horrors of the Holocaust, and it is unfair for young college students to be expected to tackle roles designed for mature middle- aged actors. However, Eric Burton stretches his acting abilities to give a con vincing performance of the demure, hostile old man Mr. Dus- sel. Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Van Daan played by Nancy Girouard and Twyla Blankenship possess the appropriate matronly qualities of mature women. Although he was hard to hear at times, Jeremy Hansard, whose youthful face unfortunately restricts him in the role of Mr. Frank, does possess a tenderness and unselfishness that binds the families together. Others in the cast included Scot Swindall as Mr. Van Daan, Shannon Demosley as Margot Frank, Anne's sister, Jon Lacquement as Mr. Kraler, and Dewi Hokett as Miep Gies. Possibly the most ambitious undertaking of the show is the set. The two-story room was adapted by Mike Woodall from a design by Dan Bendel. It is by far the most effective set that Cal Baptist has seen in years. This crowded loft full of weathered furniture and people is unrelenting in its attempt to give the audience a felling of discomfort. The play closes this weekend Nov. 8-9 with a Friday and Saturday evening performance at 8:00 p.m. in the Wallace Theatre.
