LANCER ARMS STRIVES FOR SENSE OF COMMUNITY The 1988-89 Lancer Arms Council, led by President Cindy Broese, made great strides in creating a sense of community, linking married students with students from Simmons and Smith Halls, and most importantly, developing overall awareness of the needs of the Married Students living in Lancer Arms. The council tried to develop a sense of family by having BBQs, campouts, and fellowship din- ners. Sandy Chesterman stated she enjoyed having neighbors over for dinner or just sitting outside and talking with them. It helps to have people in the same situation that can relate to you stated Michelle Veach. Lancer Arms Residents wanted to help new students who where away from home for the first time so they held adoption for the new students with each couple adopting a student from either Smith or Simmons Halls. It ' s been a great success stated B.J. Herndon. I love my adopted parents almost as much as my own admitted Kenn Baldwin. It ' s been a great year, and I hope it ' s just the begining. We hope we can continue to close the gap between Lancer Arms and the rest of the school. With the continued support and interest of groups of such as the Student Alumni, we should be able to bridge the gap. concluded Cindy Broese, Council President.

Dorm Life Sanjay Peacock and Debbie Moore are happy to be students at Cal Baptist. Michael Banks, one of CBC ' s most exciting men, has put these girls to sleep. CBC students take time to go to a BSU youth rally. Loretta Blankenship enjoys studying in the 2nd floor lounge. Dorm Life: It ' s a Living like? Well, it ' s an experience that no student goes through. What the students will probably Cal Baptist dorm life. What forgets and that most , remember most is the cold showers, learning to live with someone new, study sessions, open wings, and those famous all-nighters. All of these things were events that became synonymous with the average everyday dorm life. The first thing that everyone went through was meeting their roommate. At first the feelings that were shared were mutual fear and excitement. Then you became better friends with other people you ' d met. You started living the real dorm life. You ' re awakened by the phone, your friends rocked your window, and when you finally took a shower, it ended up being cold because everyone had showered before you, Rachel Calderon expressed, My alarm never went off, so by the time I got up all the hot water was gone! The study sessions were the most memorable because everyone intended to shjdy but most of the time it ended up being a gossip session. We ' d start talking notes and things, but it would wind up being a big rap session, confided Mary Bray. But sometimes students are serious and want to get some studying done. The best place and the most popular place was the lounges of the first two floors of the dorms. Open wings were what some st idents looked forward to. Tracee Bennett R.A. of 3B said, I loved open wings because I saw which girls ended up: which guys at the end of each one. Some wings got into it. They had tiw, and the students decorated the wing and offered food. Other wings didrt anything. A combination of things made the dorms memorable and fun but it ' s up to you how memorable you wanted to make it. From day to day every student who lived in the dorms got involved somehow. If not by certain activites then by effecting other peoples lives. Every one shared something with each other and that s what brought everyone together and what made dorm life memorable
