Family movie nights
draw large crowds

The Associated Student
Government of Clackamas
Community College is current
ly offering family night movies
here on campus.
“We started the family
night movie for another
population of our students and
community who don’t attend
school activities,” Dave
Buckley, College student pro
grams specialist, said.
“I had heard of some
other schools doing family
night movies. We thought it
would be nice to have some
thing where parents could bring
their kids. We are constantly
getting compliments on how
great it is for the students to
sponsor these shows,” he said.
“Bambi,” “Cinderella,”
and “The Bugs Bunny Road
Runner Movie” were some of
the movies already shown.
Walt Disney’s “Robin Hood” is
scheduled for April 15.
“Family nights have been
very successful, especially the
Walt Disney movies,” Buckley
said.
“The movies are. doing
well. We are bringing in
money. But when you are
charging 50 cents or a buck it’s
hard to make money,” he said.
“We’ve had more than a thou
sand people come, maybe
more. We are going to try to
continue it into the summer.”

Family Night Movies call the

“Panda” food delicious

When one does a review
on restaurants, it is usually ex
pected of the reviewer to pre
sent a variety of styles and
tastes of different cuisine. The
first review The Print presented
was on a deli-type place, the
second was on a mexican
restaurant, and now (keeping
with the tradition) this review is
on Chinese food.
In most cases when you
eat at a Chinese food restaurant
you are faced with two choices,
either order a Chinese dinner,
or play it safe and order
something from the American
menu—which is what I usually
do. That is until I tried the food
at The Little Panda Restaurant
at 517 Main St. in downtown
Oregon City.
The choices for Chinese
and American meals at The Lit
tle Panda are well diverse with
their permanent menu and
their specials (a choice of four
dinners that change weekly).
The smaller weekly specials are
$3.25 and include a dinner of
Chinese barbecue pork, pork

chow mein, and pork fried rice,
or a dinner of shrimp egg roll,
pork fried rice, and sweet and
sour chicken.
The thing that sets this
restaurant apart from other
Chinese food restaurants is their
regular Chinese dinner selec
tions with the labels of #1
through #6. I had the *5,
which is listed in the menu as
almond subgum chow mein,
shrimp egg roll, fried shrimp,
ham fried rice, and sweet and
sour ribs. Sounds pretty good,
doesn’t it? Believe me, it tastes
better than it sounds.
The shrimp is lightly bat
tered and deep fried to
enhance the fresh taste. Beside
the shrimp is a large egg roll
that consists of shrimp, season
ings, and vegetables cut in
three large pieces, surrounded
by a battered shell that crun
ches with every tasty bite.
On the other end of the
plate is the fried rice and the
sweet and sour beef ribs. The
rice is pretty good with a little
soy sauce, and the ribs are
covered with a sauce that is
lightly spiced, with maybe too
much bone in the ribs. In the
middle of the plate is a steam
ing heap of chow mein. The
chow mein consists of fresh
vegetables like onions, carrots,
and peas with almonds, sliced
water chestnuts, and are
covered with a rich, not-quite-
creamy, sauce that goes perfect
with the vegetables.
The Little Panda is a fairly
new establishment that doesn’t
seem to have caught on yet,
but the restaurant has been a
family business for over 37
years and was formerly called
Seids. Wally Seid handed the
restaurant over to Norman
Seid, who turned it into The
Little Panda Restaurant.
The atmosphere in The
Little Panda is a pleasant sim
ple style, with a few Chinese
paintings and wall hangings
spread throughout the
restaurant. There are also a few
plants placed here and there
for a nice touch. The waitresses
are quick and friendly, and
readily offer advice on the
many selections available.
The
Little
Panda
Restaurant is open Sunday-
Wednesday, 11 a.m. - 12
p.m., and Saturday-Thursday
from 11 a.m. - 2:30 a.m. Also,
on Thursday-Saturday, they
offer live music from Nightlife,
a country/rock band.
Be sure to bring along a big
appetite because the servings
are quite large. 1 couldn’t finish
all of mine. What they may lack
in fancy Chinese decor, they
more than make up for with the
quality and quantity of their
food.
If you’re not a Chinese
food eater, you will be, and if
you already are a Chinese food
lover, you’ll enjoy it even more
at The Little Panda Restaurant.
On our scale of 1-10, The Little
Panda rates an 8.
