This is the man who helped lead Cal Baptist through a three year period that saw our school grow by over 1000 students and become a University. We do not, however, get to know much about his background, or his personal side. For example, how many of us know that he listens to "easy-listening, or pop music," or that he is an avid fan of spicy foods. "I love spicy food," said Ellis. "I grew up eating Cajun and Tex-Mex, so I use Tabasco everyday.' Ellis was born to a school teacher in Louisiana. When he was five years old, his family moved to Las Vegas where his father got a job teaching at Las Vegas High School. Ellis was baptized in the First Southern Baptist Church of Las Vegas. When he was 13, his family moved to Louisiana where he graduated from high school. After graduating Ellis got his undergraduate degree from Houston Baptist University. Afterward, he earned his Masters Degree from Baylor University, and his Doctorate from Texas A&M. Ellis married Jane, the daughter of his hometown pastor, 23 years ago. Jane has been a teacher for 12 years, and has a Master's Degree. They have two sons, Ashton, 15, and Zach, 13. Both sons attend Woodcrest Christian where Ashton is a sophomore and Zach is in eighth grade. Before coming to Cal Baptist, Ellis was Executive Vice President of Campbellsville University in Kentucky. Ellis was nominated to fill the position of president by the former Trustee who knew Ellis from Taylor County, Kentucky, where Campbellsville University is located. Ellis and his wife considered the prospect of changing jobs and relocating their family to Southern California. "My wife and I, even before we were married, committed to a walk of faith in our lives, that we would go wherever He leads," said Ellis. "We also centered our lives around the Great Commission, and things worked out, so we ended up here at Cal Baptist." Ellis has enjoyed seeing the growth of Cal Baptist over the past three years, and has great plans for the future. He mentioned that growth will slow, but positive change will continue. These changes will include an expanded physical plant and a proposed Ph.D. program.

Senate reviews a list of all the activites and contributions each club has given. The club who has contributed the most has the club name engraved on a plaque that can be seen in the ASCBU office. The Multi-Cultural club members are happy and were excited when they heard the news. "I feel that we worked hard to do a good job," said Alicia Lovelady, junior and president of the club. "Winning the award was an extra incentive to do better this year." Activities sponsored by the Multi- Cultural club include the Gospel choir performing in chapel, and a "step" dance performance during half-time at the men's basketball game.
