According to Kathy Baameur, the director of IEI at Cal Baptist, the enrollment of IEI students has dropped by more than 50 percent. About 45 students are usually enrolled in IEI, and enrollment has dropped to 16. Three new IEI students who originally planned to stay at Cal Baptist for one year can only afford to stay for six months. Baameur said that many students were called home by their parents. "Students were able to finish the fall semester before leaving for home," said Virginia MachHagler, instructor for IEI. MachHagler said that many students wrote about Lion Kim and Juan Salas are actively involved in Virginia MachHagler's IEI class. --Photo by Jennie Ross ■IHiMwi how this was the end of their dream. "Students are optimistic that things will improve though," said Baameur. "They are upbeat and glad to be here." The drop in enrollment within the IEI program has caused two instructors to be layed off at the beginning of the spring semester. Two instruc tors remain, but are receiving a pay cut due to the drop in enrollment. Baameur is now having to instruct, as well as, direct. In an article by Felix Sanchez in The Press-Enterprise on Jan. 19, 1998, Sanchez reported that, "nearly 60 percent of the 457,984 foreign students enrolled in the United States are from Asia, and almost all pay full tuition." According to Sanchez, $7 billion is spent by international students a year. Jerrie Anne Fortune, director of International Student Services here at Cal Baptist, said that the majority of IEI students are from Korea and Asian countries. Fortune said that the students are struggling to pay bills or are having to leave. "Currency has dropped so much that $1000 is worth only $500 in the States," said Baameur. Cal Baptist previewed by prospective students by Jennie Ross Prospective students and parents came on campus Feb. 5-7 for Preview Days, a weekend designed to give a glimpse of Cal Baptist life, sponsored by the Admissions Department. The TNT Explosion held in the Wallace Theatre, comprised of various skits and films put together by the admissions staff, began Preview Days on Thursday. Sabina Butler, admissions counselor, greeted the students, "Begin your journey with us here at Cal Baptist." Thursday night included the Nacho Feed, held in the Garrett Dining Hall. Students played the cup game, Ricky Ticky Bear, while many cafe workers kept up with the never-ending line of nacho- eaters. Sandie Stevens, cafeteria worker, said, "This is the latest I've ever come to work. I like doing different things and being involved with student activities." Friday held the most events, beginning with breakfast at Magnolia Avenue Baptist Church. Students stayed at the church for welcome, chapel, and "Student View," which consisted of a panel of Cal Baptist students answering questions about dorm life, cafe food, etc. The panel consisted of Candy Boerwinkle, a freshman; Kirk Overstreet, Anthony Harris, and Tracy Reed, all sophomores; and Callie Logan, a junior. After "Student View," lunch was held in the A.J. Staples room. Students spent Friday afternoon touring the campus and visiting various academic departments. Other students spent the afternoon trying out for scholarships in the athletic, music, and other departments. Between Thieves was the featured band for Friday night, performing at Magnolia Avenue Baptist Church. Trip, a solo guitar player, was the opening act for the band. Following the concert, California Coffee House was open in the A.J. Staples room. International Service Project teams used this event as a fundraiser for May missions. Saturday marked the close of Preview Days. A closing session, counselor chat, and an athletic information session were the last scheduled events on the official itinerary. Two hundred eighty-six students and parents attended for different reasons. Ryan Ostlund, a freshman at Ohlone Junior College, said, "I came to see what the school is about. You can only learn so much from brochures." "I came to get out of school tomorrow and to find out what college life is really like," said Jamie Falin, a junior at Redlands East Valley High School. John Clayton, admissions counselor, said, "Preview Days was excellent. Students got a great look at Cal Baptist life." .'.,'.''
