The nner Volume XXXIX, Number 3 A Publication of the Students of California Baptist College October 18, 1994 Meet President Ellis By Tommy Jolly Co-Editor Dr. Ron Ellis will be California Baptist college's next president on Nov. 1, but is already busy meeting students and learning about the college's history. In an interview with The Banner, Dr. Ellis shared about his family history and dreams for Cal Baptist. He was bom in Louisiana, and at age five moved to Las Vegas, where his father taught high school. At age 13, his family moved back to Louisiana, where he graduated from high school before going to Houston Baptist University for his undergraduate work. Following his bachelor's degree, Ellis continued his studies, earning a master's from Baylor University and a doctorate from Texas A& M University. He has worked at Baptist colleges and pastored churches throughout his career. Ellis said there are similarities between his previous colleges' problems and the job he is about to start. "When I went to Campbellsville College, they were running 760 students and today they are running 1,260," said Ellis. "They had some financial difficulties, and we were able to turn that around as well." Ellis expressed hope that the solutions to Campellsville's problem's will work at Cal Baptist. He also said that God has led him to this college. "My wife and I, since we've been married, have always tried to follow the Lord's will in what we do, and walk in faith," he said. "We really feel that this is where God would have us to be, so we see this as an extension of that walk, that pilgrimage that we're on." A constant correspondence has been kept between Ellis and Cal Baptist since his election. From this continuing contact, Ellis has begun to devise his plan for the college. "I want to be sensitive to the history, and build on that," he commented. "I want to try to make this school as student-centered as possible." He added that he wanted to focus on student input. " The students are the reason we're here. If we don't have students, we don't have a reason to exist," he said. As far as change is concerned, "We don't want to be hasty but we will be quick," stated Ellis. Cal Baptist's current situation, especially financially, requires "imme- Dr. Ron Ellis (photo by Dale Evola) diate attention." After that, "everything is open," he said. Ellis was clear about the challenges he was about to face. He added, "The challenge is part of the excitement about it. I think how quickly we get over the challenges and get on to the building up is dependent upon working See Ellis Page 3 Operation TB nears completion By Jean Lewis Staff Writer Last week was a busy one for the entire campus. The first six phases of the Student Health Center's "Operation TB" have been completed. So far, the following has happened: Phase one - The compilation of a detailed and exhaustive list of contacts. Deborah Worden of international student services and other staff were mainly responsible for seeing to it that the lists were made of all contacts. Along with her staff, Worden compiled lists of all Smith Hall residents, cafeteria patrons, and classroom attendants. All the lists were then cross- referenced, and a final and completed list of over 300 names was compiled. Phase two - Notification of all contacts. Barbara Cole, nursing director of the Riverside County Department of Public Health, and her staff supervisor, Yvonne Myers, were very supportive in providing information and drafting 331 letters advising all contacts with an individual diagnosed with tuberculosis. They then hand-carried the letters to the Cal Baptist Health Center. The Health Center's manager, Bonnie Tate, along with Michele Ensign of the post office addressed and distributed all the letters. Phase three - TB skin test. At 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at Simmons Hall, Rae Hunter, supervising nurse for the Department of Public Health, arrived with her crew and went to work. Out of a list of 331, 310 were tested. Phase four - TB skin test reading. At 1:00 p.m. Thursday Oct. 13, Hunter and her staff returned to read the skin test. Everyone returned to have their test read except 20 people, who later that day had their test read at the Health Center. Phase five - X-rays. On Monday, Oct. 17, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Mark McEachern of facilities use transported the residents of Smith Hall and all others who needed transportation to the Linden Health Clinic for follow-up X-rays. Phase six - More X-rays. On Monday, Oct. 17, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., McEachern transported the remaining residents. One more phase has yet to take place: Phase seven - Medication. All those needing medication, both prophylactic and therapeutic, will receive letters notifying them when and where to go. Nov. 4 is the tentatively scheduled date. So that no one misunderstands or is misled, it needs to be said that no one has tested positive from this contact. All persons who have tested positive have done so owing to a previous contact before coming to Cal Baptist. The Health Center staff is grateful for the cooperation of other staff and faculty members.
