BSU CONVENTION
Eighty-five students from California Baptist College were among the six hundred
who attended the Annual Baptist Student
Union Convention in Norwalk, October
23-25.
Dr. Chester Swor was the main speaker
at most of the sessions and the annual
banquet, which was held at Knott's Berry
Farm. Also featured were Bill Junker
from the Student Department in Nashville,
and Bill Dyal, missionary to Costa Rica.
Saturday night, the mission emphasis was
highlighted by the showing of slides from
our summer missionaries, Ann Gross, Marilyn Wells, Gayle Brian and Jim Leeman.
The latter three are from CBC.
Sunday morning at the final session
several students reded ieated their lives to
live closer to God on their campuses.
CBC's MUSIC DEPT. IS GROWING IN QUALITY AND
QUANTITY; STUDENTS CHOIR HAS BIG PART
We are quite happy over the increased interest and number of majors in the
Music Department this year. Presently there are twenty majors and twenty-two minors.
With the coming of this years group of freshmen the prospects have been much
brighter.
This is one of the strongest departments of the school, and the work is being upgraded each year in order to appeal to
quality students, to produce students better
prepared to enter graduate study or to
serve in places of leadership in the
churches.
Each year more requests for appearances ..of, the choir come. Four appear-
ances^nave already been made, including
the BSU ;;and state conventions. Plans
are already under way for a concert tour
in April which will take the choir to
within a. few miles of the northern border
of the state. During this tour the choir
members will have opportunity to tour
the new Golden Gate Seminary campus,
and to present one radio broadcast. The
ohoir has grown from an enrollment of
twelve at the beginning of last year to an
enrollment of thirty at the beginning of
the present year. Auditions will be given
again at the beginnig of next semester, and
more voices will probably be added for the
tour.
Tentative plans are being laid for a
Spring Festival of Music to be given in
May. The program will include a section
of choral music, combined band and
choral numbers, selections by the band
and a condensed version of an operetta.
Faculty recitals are also planned for the
future. These will be given on the campus and perhaps in churches or high
schools over the state as a public relations
project.
The courses for the music major are
outlined in such a way that a student entering any year, can complete the requirements within four years, provided the student decides on the major during his freshman year.
DR. CHESTER SWOR
VISITS C.B.C.
Dr. Chester Swor, lay-lecturer and conference leader, was on the California Baptist College campus October 26 through 29.
Dr. Swor spoke during the Monday and
Wednesday Chapel sessions, at 8:30 a.m.
Tuesday, 7:30 a.m. Thursday.and at 7:30
p.m. Monday through Wednesday.
After each of the evening services Dr.
Swor answered questions that students
had dropped in a box provided for that
purpose.
Many of the students have commented
on how much Dr. Swor's messages meant
to them. Others have said they hope they
will get a chance to hear him again.
In his closing message Dr. Swor gave
six steps that will keep Christians closer
to Jesus.
1.   Take a look at the "road map" every
day.
Be sure to fill up with power every
day.
Please do have a well - balanced
church life.
4. If you have decided to quit a sin
this week, don't rationalize and say
I'll do it gradually.
Disobedience is one of the worst sins.
Share your Christianity more with
people in the world.
Teach me, Lord, that I may see
The wonderous goal Thou'st set for me.
Help me,  Lord,  that  I may  find
A way to more securely bind <
My love for you each hour of day.
Help me, Lord, to stay that way.

"A pessimist sees only the dark side of
the clouds and mopes; a philosopher sees
both sides and shrugs; an optimist doesn't
see the clouds at all—he's walking on
them."
