- The Volume XXXVII, Number 5 A Publication of the Students of California Baptist College November 3, 1992 Marriott and ServiceMaster Changes made to Battle for Physical Plant area Chapel program By Chuck Walker and Kirk Dilley Editors A battle between ServiceMaster and Marriou to gain a contract for the Physical Plant area is currently under way. The Physical Plant area consists of: maintenance, custodial duties, and groundskeeping. For the last six years this job has been handled by ServiceMaster, a company contracted by Cal Baptist to manage these various duties. In July, Cal Baptist's contract with ServiceMaster expired, and since then ServiceMaster has been doing the job on a month by month basis, with no contract "When July 1st came around, (ServiceMaster) had no new contract proposal. We have been continuing negotiations since July. When the contract was up, we asked ourselves, 'do we want to go out for a bid," said Donald Evans, Vice-President of Business Affairs. Marriou offered a bid, and we have been negotiating with both Marriott and Service Master for about 2 1/2 months," said Donald Evans, Vice-President of Business Affairs. Marriott currently provides the food service for California Baptist College. There are two proposals on the table, and part of the negotations are centered around the evaluation of the institution's objectives. "My objectives are: how can we provide for the best maintenance, custodial, and grounds for the students and the public? Not just looking at the bottom line (money), but looking at the intangibles. We could still say we don't like either proposal," said Evans. But, according to A.S.C.B.C. Students participate in a newly revamped Chapel program. (Photo by Brent Calhoun) By Chuck Walker Editor The Chapel program has been a topic of discussion at Cal Baptist over the last several years. This year changes have been made to make the chapel program more enjoyable for the students. Some of the most common questions are: What is Chapel supposed to be, what is its purpose, and why is it required? A few places where you can find answers to your questions about chapel are: the college catalog, the student handbook, and the Chapel program. "It is consistent with die purpose of a sound, liberating education for an academic community to gather regularly for worship, communication, fellowship, and personal development," so says the college catalog, student handbook, and Chapel program. The person in charge of overseeing the Chapel program is Vice-President of Student Life, Dr. Dennis Sheridan. "I would agree with the Chapel statement. I see that Chapel should cover four areas: worship, fellowship, communication and cultural," said Dr. Sheridan. A question a lot of students ask, is it supposed to be worship, or just a get-together on Wednesday morning, and if so, why not change the name? "Chapel has been debated and discussed over a long period of time. Each year the Chapel committee re-studies it, keeping the purpose in mind. Chapel is not explicidy a worship experience. continued on page 4 President Mike MacDonald, the contract proposal has already been voted on and decided by the Executive Council. "I have regularly scheduled meetings on the first Thursday of each month with the Executive Council (Dr. Tuck, Dr. Carleton, Dr. Evans, Dr. Sheridan, and Dr. Jones),"said A.S. President Mike MacDonald. MacDonald continued, "It's my understanding that the contract proposal was voted on by the Executive Council on the 29th of October - the week before my regularly scheduled meeting. If this is true, it means there would be no student input on the issue, until a week after it was voted on. Originally, I planned on attending the Oct 29 meeting, but the day before, in a meeting with President Tuck concerning the new academic calendar, I brought up the issue concerning the con- Continued on page 4 Cafeteria Controversy By Sally Samayoa Staff Writer One of the biggest topics and concerns here at Cal Baptist is the food in the cafeteria. Many students are unhappy with the quality of the food as well as the increase in cost this year. Time and time again students are heard complaining about the food. It has come to be a familiar sound around campus. A large majority of students agree that the food is terrible, but at the same time there are a few that are comfortable with the situation. "They can't please everyone no matter what they do, someone is always going to complain. Personally I enjoy the food in the cafeteria." said junior Luis Vas- quez. Other students disagree, they are asking where the money they are paying is going. Some feel that while the cost went up, the food quality went down. "I realize that there is always going to be complaints; I personally have not heard many. We have established a suggestion box in the cafeteria for any suggestions the students may have about the food. Not many have put any in. I can't fix what I am not aware is wrong. I would appreciate students bringing them up and putting them in the suggestion box.", said cafeteria manager, Kate Urbanowicz. Unfortunately, no pencil or pen has been left to aid students in their suggestions. This may be seen as a moot point, but it was discussed three weeks ago between the Chairman of the Dining Hall Commitee, Mike Fin nell, and Urbanowicz. "I believe the cafeteria is sub- par, and it could be better. Maybe through the students on the Dining Hall Commitee working with Kate, we could make it a little more enjoyable," said Finnell of the problem. Although there are a few changes in the cafeteria, students are still wondering where the rest of their money went. "I don't think that the quality in food is in any way better. It seems that our money is going towards the appearance of the cafeteria more than the food. Personally, I would rather have my food taste better than just look better." said Junior and LifeLine leader Shaylene Davis. Why the increase?
