Toymaking
workshop
"Making Manipulative Toys and
Games" is the title of workshop
to be offered four Saturdays in
January at the College.
The workshop, designed for
parents and teachers of children
three to eight years old, will'be
taught in the Orchard Center at
9 a.m. on January 7, I4, 21 and
28, in the Child Development
Center.
Saman King, a former mili
tary governor in Cambodia, is a
student at the College taking bus
iness administration in hopes to
to someday have his own business
—perhaps a restaurant in the Uni
ted States.
King, and other Cambodians
who have immigrated after 1975,
have found life in the United
States sometimes difficult and full
of radical changes from their life
style in Cambodia.
"All of the professional people
such,as governors,journalistsand
doctors were forced to leave the
Cambodian cities,"Marion Roddy,
CCC English instructor said.
"When the communists took
over Cambodia many people had
to leave or be killed."
Unlike the Vietnamese, who
received
some help from the
United States in. getting out of
Vietnam, the Cambodians had to
find their own way out of their
country. Often they had to leave
friends and relatives behind as
chances for escape were often not
preplanned," Roddy said.
According to Roddy, the Cam
bodian situation
was different
from the Vietnam refugees. The
Cambodians who fled
to the
United States were of the profes
sional class. They were often well-
educated, some speaking the Eng
lish language and even French
fluently. Now they have problems
finding work in their professional
fields. One way they are trying
to overcome this is by taking
"One man took his training as
a doctor in Cambodia during the
war time conditions, therefore he
is taking some of this classes over
again here," Roddy said.
"There are many adjustments
to be made by the Cambodian
people, such as the climate. Cam
bodia is a tropical climate and
the weather in Oregon is very
strange to them, and others suffer
ed ill health in the refugee camps
in Thailand waiting for departure
for the United States," Roddy^
said.
Customs, attitudes, and even
gestures are so different in the
United States. "Life here goes ata
faster pace," King said.
In ’Cambodia it is a source of
pride to have large families and be
able to take care of them, accord
ing to Roddy.
King has nine children and
feels that they are adjusting better
than he and are picking up the
language rapidly.
"The children like the schools
here because of all the learning
aids that are available to them.
Also they are happy to get away
from the guns and there was little
food in Cambodia when we left,"
King said.
"Even though they are more
comfortable and secure here, they
still get homesick and miss their
grandmother, and the rest of the
family and close friends they left
behind," King said.

He is an ex-high school teacher,
earned his master's in anthro
pology and had planned on doing
research in a museum or teaching.
Now Haugen is living in Cor
vallis with his wife and small
daughter, and taking a full class

Haugen spends most of his
time on campus doing curriculum
research for Dr. Kaiser.
"British Columbia colleges are
pretty primitive," said Haugen,
"Compared to Clackamas, they're
a battered Volkswagen next to a
Cadillac—no, a Rolls Royce."
"Of course, community col
leges are a fairly new thing in
British Columbia. There are a
lot of temporary buildings and
makeshift campuses and under
equipping.”
"I'm enjoying my internship
here," said Haugen. "I enjoy the
the people I encounter here and
feel this is a Well-run and well-
organized college."
SKILLS:
First, you’ll have learned a skill that you wanted to learn — a skill that’s yours to keep. When you
look for a job later on, you’ll have more to offer a prospective employer than good intentions.
You’ll have experience. And although not every Army skill has a civilian counterpart,
you’ll have learned something invaluable for any career: how to work.
EDUCATION:
Depending on your own initiative, and the needs of your unit, you can accumulate several college
or vocational-technical credits while you’re in the Army. If you’ve come in through the Delayed
Entry Program, you'can use the waiting time to learn more about degree-related programs like
Project AHEAD, or about earning college credits for Army training and jobs. Later on you’ll be
able to continue college with the new Veterans’ Educational Assistance Program available to
every soldier, which can help you save up to $8,100 over 3 years in the Army. Find out the details
of the educational opportunities in today’s Army from your local Army Representative.
EXPERIENCE:
Most soldiers leave the Army having done things and seen places they never thought they would.
This experience is now a part of them. If you’ve come in through the Delayed Entry Program,
you’ve simply had a bigger say in what you’ve been doing, where you’ve been, and what you’ll
take home with you. You may find that the experience has been so rewarding you want to stay
in the Army. That can be arranged too.
