              CBC Hosts Support Dinner
Alumni Talks, Music
Honor Plaques Slated
A joint effort by the students,
faculty and administration will
become a reality tonight as CBC
hosts its third annual Report and
Support Dinner.
The Office of the Board of Development under the direction of
Ed Packwood has been busily
mailing out invitations and follow up material to make tonight
possible.
The expected five to six hundred non-CBC participants will
be treated to an elegant roast
beef dinner in the Van Dyne
Field House following the dedication ceremony ofthe Wallace,
Book of Life Building.
The main emphasis in the program will be "Presenting our
Product". This will be carried
on by the alumni of CBC. Each
of those involved will state their
name and profession and tell
something of their life after
graduating from CBC. This is
the means by which CBC can
look ahead to the future, by looking back on the results ofthe past.
Also in the program will be the
Brass Ensemble under the direction of Larry Johansen. The 110
member Chapel Choir, directed
by Dr. Curtis Cheek will also
accent the occasion.
Another highlight ofthe evening
will be a presentation of two
plaques given in recognition of
financial contributions and other
actions for the college. These
will be given to individuals unannounced prior to add an element
of surprise to the affair.
A great amount of effort of the
student body has also contributed
to the occasion. Circle-K, the
mens service club, and the Business Club will assist in the parking of cars. K-ettes. the worn-
men's service club will set
up tables. Clean up will be left
up to the Bachelors Till the
Rapture United Club.
President Stables will share
the topic, 'Together We Grow."
Dr. J. Thurmond George, president of the Southern Baptist General Convention of California will
lead the group in a time of sharing through pledging.
"It's sort ofa "mini-telethon"
said Packwood.
Special thanks are in order for
Service Systems Inc. who are
catering the dinner, for the CBC
Board ot Development who paid
for it and to Packwood and his
office who planned and coordinated the event.

a reality. Those recognized will
include:
Dr. Lawrence E. Nelson, originator of the Book of Life idea;
I. Robert Skaggs, architect; and
Ernest A. Roach, builder.
Their names will all appear
on the cornerstone plate of the
building, along with the names
of Dr. E. William George, chairman of the trustees, and Dr.
Staples.
Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Wallace will also be recognized at
the ceremony for their contribution as principal donors. They

Dr. Nelson will close the ceremony with a dedicatory prayer.
The Wallace   Building, also
known as the Book of Life Building, is a multi-purpose facility.
It contains an auditorium with a
stage, a large choral room, a
projection booth, and several
display and work areas.
A room has also been provided
to house the personal library of
the late Dr. Wallace, who was
a religion professor at CBC. The
books were formerly kept in the
Annie Gabriel Library.
Since Wallace is a Scotch name,
meaning "Wales' man," CBC
purchased a piece of the Wallace plaid fabric to decorate
one  wall   of the Wallace Room.
The purpose of the building
was discussed in yesterday's
chapel by Dr. Nelson. The collections which will be displayed
in the building are "to make us
aware of the influence of Christianity in our daily lives. It's
more pervasive than we realize.'''

Actions Paint Picture Of College
By Sylvia Vick
What image do CBC students
give  the   Riverside community?
Riverside is a city of colleges
and the community is used to having thousands of young adults
around everywhere. A student
coming to Riverside would have
little difficulty choosing a college and fitting into the college
environment.
With all these schools, no doubt
many people have definite opinions and views of the students
in general.
As far as CBC is concerned,
President James Staples says,
'The people (Riverside community) are impressed by the
wholesomeness   of   our   student
body. They feel that we have
moral integrity and high ideals
which are expressed in our day-
by-day activities as well as our
personalities."
R. Boughton, a salesman at the
local Pay Less drug store, gave
the impression that he really enjoys the CBC traffic through Albertson's and Pay Less. 'They
seem like an energetic bunch,"
he said, "and they are nice to
me."
Boughton also displayed his
trust in our students saying that
after he has cashed a few checks
for various students and knows
them by face, he cashes their
checks   without   any   questions.
In the job world CBC students
are highly respected and often
times preferred. This can be
seen in the response Dean Jerry
Hendricksen, job placement director, receives from his contacts. Students are able to go
into his office seeking a job
and leave having found one from
some business, not just seeking an employee, but specifically, a CBC employee.
Employing many of the girls
is Caddock Electronics. Betty
Buell, an employee ofthe store,
spoke with excitement about the
good work of our students. "We
always want workers from CBC
