Choir Chapel Presents Christmas Music This year for their Christmas concert, Chapel Choir will be presenting "Hodie", an oratorio by Ralph Vaughan Williams. It will be held at Magnolia Avenue Baptist Church, Dec. 15, at 8 p.m. Hodie tells the Christmas story using scripture and poetic texts. The musical setting is quite modern. According to Dr. Curtis L. Cheek, "Hodie is one of the most exciting and important works of the 20 century. I am really looking forward and enjoy directing great music like this and I hope my students and the audience can feel the spirit that is presented through this oratorio.'' John Campbell will be the accompanist, Mrs. Helen E.Walker the soprano soloist, Philip Nail the tenor soloist, and Merril Smoak the baritone soloist. The Music Department will be in charge of chapel, Dec. 16. The Trouveres, the Les Chan- terres, and the Brass Ensemble all have a part of the program. They will be singing Christmas music. Business Class Analyzes Needs Of Campus LIBRARY PRESENTATION—Bob Ross, director of Pilgrim Publications, Pasadena, Texas (left) presents a gift certificate to Dean Dewey Jones, indicating the gift to the CBC library of 56 volumes of Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit. Nine of the volumes are being mailed and the others will be sent as they come off the press. Ross also gave a slide presentation on the life of the famous Baptist pastor. The Spurgeon books are also available in the bookstore. A five-year improvement plan Is presently the project of a business class at Cal State Ful- Ierton. Robert C. Davis and Bernie S. Smith met with Senate members recently in the Alham- bra Room to get their ideas on what needs to be improved on campus and to hear some of their present gripes. They divided the group into two smaller units to get more people voicing their opinions. In the group headed by Smith, everyone had much the same Ideas on what thecompus needed. Some of the ideas that came out were: 1—The crowded conditions during registration. Why isn't it set up in the gym where everything could be taken care of in one building? 2—Counseling. The students felt that the teachers didn't spend enough time with the students and that they really didn't understand the catalogue and its requirements well enough to counsel in-coming freshmen. CB.C Teachers Training Program Rated Excellent Dr. Staples Addresses Foreign Student Banquet The teacher surplus problem has not affected the teacher training program at California Baptist College according to Wilma T. Brown, coordinator. "Every one of our teaching graduates who wanted a position in the Riverside area has been placed," she said. When Mrs. Brown came to Cal Baptist from San Francisco State College in 1967 there were ten collegians in the student teacher program; by 1969 there were 71 in public school training. At the present time there are in excess of 200 students at CBC in the teacher education program. The elementary division of the department has been fully accredited since 1967 and this fall a secondary program is being launched. "Our teachers are in demand," says Mrs. Brown. "One principal told me that he liked our students so well he'd take any we would assign him." Mrs. Brown attributes much of the success of the teacher training program at Cal Baptist to the fact that candidates are carefully screened. After they are accepted, she feels a desire to motivate each of them on a personal basis. This tends to negate the complaint that one hears on many campuses that students become little more than ciphers to their superiors. "Holding Forth Christ to the World" was the theme of President James R. Staples' Thanksgiving message to the foreign students and their American friends who accompanied them at California Baptist College. Dr. Staples referred to Cal Baptist as a Christian campus of international concern where students from all countries are merged into God's distinctive mosaic. Staples stated, "The basis of Christianity is God's love for the world and the giving of his Son that the world through him might be saved. In Christ Jesus all nationalities are merged into one family - the family of God." President Staples used part of his hat collection from countries in which he and Mrs. Staples had traveled to dramatize the various nations. He used the Cal Baptist "beanie", which had been presented to him at the first of the year by the freshman class, to indicate that under the Cal Baptist hat all hats are harmonized, without losing the distinctiveness of each country. 3—The limited number of courses offered. The students agreed that because of the lack of funds more classes could not be offered, but they would like to see more incorporated into the curriculum. 4—Communication. There Is a communication gap on campus, but the students thought it had improved through the efforts of Dr. Staples. He has been talking to students and listening to them and they appreciate his attitude towards them. 5—Publication of events. Too many people do not know what is happening on campus and the students felt that a better means of publicizing up-coming events should be thought about. 6~Attitudes of students. Students need to start emphasizing the good about the campus rather than always talking about the negative points. 7—Teacher evaluation. The students thought that some means of evaluation of classes and teachers should be used, possibly by the studentsthemselves. Smith commented that "you have to invest money before you will get anything out of it." He students on projects that they (the students) themselves could and would work on. In this way they might feel more a part of the campus. These men will be returning to the campus to talk with students and the administration. They want your ideas because this is your school. The Thanksgiving dinner for the International students was sponsored by the Student Body Association and the Baptist Student Union. There are 34 foreign students out of the total enrollment of 690, or approximately 5%. Ceramics Display To Follow Dickens Dinner An informal family style "Dickens Feast" will be given Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the college chapel for all faculty and staff members. Betty Musacchio, chairman of the C.B.C. Women's Club, Karen Brandon, Kathy Knecht, and Yancy Pitman are planning the program for that evening. "A traditional English Christmas dinner will be served, the attire for the evening will be traditional period dress from the Nineteenth Century. The program presentation will be about Charles Dickens. This year we celebrate the Hundredth Anniversary of his Death." commented Mrs. Musacchio. Tickets are $3.00 per person. Following the program in the chapel there will be an exhibition given in the Ceramics Studio of work done by the students in the Art Dept. throughout the semester. There will be both earthenware and painting projects for sale. Twenty percent of the proceeds wUl be used in our Art Dept. to ameliorate and enlarge its scope. There will be two students, Beth Hite and Frank Hall, demonstrating their craftsmanship in ceramics for the faculty and staff present that evening, between 8:30 and 9:30. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS of California Baptist Collge and Mrs. James R. Staples, wife of the president of C.B.C. are shown following their Thanksgiving dinner looking at an African Artifact.
