Thrust into the Future
Campaign progresses
"As the money comes in, the
work goes on," says John Butler,
assistant to the president, in explaining the continued progress of
CBC's Thrust into the Future Campaign. According to Butler, 70% of
the school's one million dollar goal
has already been attained in pledges and cash plus the self-liquidating loan for the apartments.
Work on renovating the five story
main building has begun; a roof was
installed last week while the initial
work on the sprinkler and electric
systems have been completed.
Stressing how "very important"
these improvements are, Butler
says the entire restoration project
can be completed by this summer
only "if enough money comes in."
Thrust into the Future isacam
paign to secure needed funds to
renovate CBC's five story main
building. This renovationwillpro-
vide the necessary facilities for
meeting current and future enrollment needs. After the Thrust campaign is completed in May, a "Wall
Of Faith" will be constructed at
;he entranceway ofthe main building. The names of all the churches
which supported the Thrust program will be included in the mosaic
tile design. "It will be a witness
to students and all those who visit,"
explains John Butler.
According to Butler, the fund-
raising drive has already completed at least one phase of its goal:
"All the rooms have been memorialized." Also, two new wings
have been designated on the ground
floor. The "Founder's Wing" is
being made possible through 20
gifts of $500 each, while the
"Alumni Wing" will include all the
gifts from alumni. The entire top
floor of the building will become
'The Music Hall" through 25 gifts
of $1,000 apiece. Anyone wishing
to make a memorial gift should
designate their gift to one of these
areas of the building.
Butler urges students to "write
their pastors and ask them to support CBC in this project" so that
the needed funds can be met. Students are also asked to look in store
windows for the "Pray for Thrust
in the Future" posters which have
been sent to all area businesses
and churches for display.
Forensics capture sweepstakes award
"We did really well!" A member
of the forensics team summed up
last weekend's speech tournament
at University of California Riverside, with those words. Highlight of
the competitions was Cal Baptist's
first Sweepstakes Award: second
place in the entire tournament (in
total number of points)!
CBC's Reader's Theatre group,
composed of Alma Rhoades, Sherri
Erkes, Jack Bracey, and Roy Ronveaux, took a second place. The
theme of thejr several selections
was the decline of marriage. Ron
Nash made finals in both extemporary and impromptu categories.
In liis second tournament this year
(because of conflicts in job schedule), Bob Shipley placed second in
extemporary. Dan Jones' expository speech was awarded second
place. Alma Rhoades was first with
her prose oral interpretation and
second with her poetry oral inter-

pretation. Sherri Erkes made
finals in the prose oral interpretation category.
The forensics team is something
everyone at CBC can be proud of.
We can support them through our
prayers and through our attendance
at tournaments whenever possible.
Seeing familiar faces in the audience certainly helps!

The Board of Trustees of California Baptist College has a deep
commitment to the maintenance of
a strong Christian witness in the
college family. It interprets Scripture to mean that God established
the home so that we might exercise
His qualities of forgiveness and redemption and, thereby, better understand His love for us. He has
bound us to the marital relationship as He bound Himself to the
church.
Violation ofthe marital relationship is a sin against God and man
that touches several generations.
When a teacher in a Christian college becomes unable to apply forgiveness and redemption in marriage, we feel that his special responsibility in the student-teacher
relationship is impaired.
The trustees have a deep appreciation of the alumni and students, and respect for the faculty.
The influence of the one on the
other is the only reason for the
labors of the trustees. In view of
the concern of these groups over
the recent action of the trustees on
a divorce policy, the officers have
determined to immediately lead the
board in attempting to work toward
solutions that will not compromise
the basic goals of the trustees and
administration.
