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.

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.

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.
