DeWolfe gains speaking grant for architecture Clackamas County residents will have a chance this summer to step back a hundred years and see Portland as it looked during the flower of the Victorian-Edwardian period (1850-1917). The occasion is a series of slide show/lectures by College history instructor Fred De Wolfe, author of four books on early Portland and a student of Victorian-Edwardian ar chitecture for the past 13 years. BOUNTIFUL, IT AIN’T. Last week’s food drive captured an astounding lack of interest and two cans of food. P^oto by Duffy Coffman Food drive stalls while blood drive passes goal By J. Dana Haynes The College hosted two civic-minded activities last week, the Food Drive and the Blood Drive, with the latter gar nishing more success than the former. The much-heralded canned food drive brought in a total slightly under the one ton estmimate. The school collected two cans of food. The manna included one can of chicken noodle soup and another tin with no wrap per around it and the word “clams” written on the lid. The tin was rusted. ASG Senator Julie Lundy spearheaded the drive, and felt disappointed in the almost non-exjstent participation. “I’m trying not to take this personal ly,” said Lundy. “I just can’t figure out what happened.” • Thq. food drive was sug gested by the Tri-County Com munity Council Food Bank, a non-profit organization that augments the efforts of various emergency food services throughout the metro area. . Food Bank representative Barry Barth and Betty Freed man presented the idea to the Associated Student Govern ment in April. “Thirty or forty thousand people in the Portland area face" hunger every month,” Barth said. Barrels were placed in every campus building, and, posters were distributed to bolster the driv?. “Some of the barrels were used for garbage,” Lundy said, “and some disappeared altogether.”. If the food driv(e, had gone well, it would have become an annual event, according to Lundy. “There isn’t enough here to give to the Food Bank,” she .said, “If anyone wants to claim these two cans, they can drop by the Student Inactivities office”’’ However, the,Blood Drive was better received by the stu dent body. ASG Art Director Dick Edwards headed the event,, held on May 27. “We only expected about 80 or 85 units of blood,” said Ed wards. “We received 97 units. So it came out very well.” Alternative school offers drop-outs non-GED ed. Of the many new programs instituted at the College, this year, the Tri-City Alternative has been one of the most suc cessful. The program is design ed to help 15-18 year olds who are referred from high schools or have previously dropped out of school. The primé objectivé of the TCAP is to help students ob tain a GED while increasing their self-esteem. In order to fulfill this goal, students are instructed in career development and sur vival skills as well as basic skills. Gladstone, Oregon City and West' Linn High schools send 90 percent of the referred students; another 10 percent are directed by friends, family and other sources. The TCAP deviates from the usual high school curriculum. Students are given the oppor tunity to choose when to work and what to work on. Page 4 Their day is seven hdurs long but a one-hour break for lunch and two 10-minute breaks are incorporated in the daily schedule. In addition to pen and paper work, involvement with the community is an im portant part of the curriculum. Guest speakers are encouraged to come to the school. The program is limited to 30 students at any one time, so in dividual attention is easily available. There is a waiting list for students who wish to attend the school. Although there are a few restrictions placed on the students, good attendance, daily journal communications, and assisting with maintenance are strict requirements. Many 'students have suc cessfully completed the pro gram already this year. The in structors are satisfied with the progress the students have made and feel the program is well worth the while. During the last on-campus blood drive a school record of 101 units was* obtained. “We didn’t beat the record, but we were darn close,” said Ed wards. see some of the more than 5001 slides DeWolfe has gathered I from library archives or shot on I location in cities throughout 1 Oregon and -the West, and to I exchange ideas about the im-1 pact of these architectural styles | on the quality of life. > “The variety jn building con- struction encouraged people to play as well as work in the downtown area,” says DeWolfe. “The streets had a beauty and vitality and a sense I With help from a grant from of expectancy or surprise as I the Oregon Committee for the one walked from, unique iron I Humanities and the National front buildings to thé ethnically I Endowment for the Humanities, DeWolfe will be colorful and manicured public I stalls and on to an outdoor I taking his presentation to concert ât the elegant Portland I libraries, community schools, retirement homes and historical Hotel.” DeWolfe says that the I societies around the state bet ween May and October.
