The Arts
Team takes trophies
Clackamas Community
College’s speech team is small,
but their efforts have been
rewarded with trophies at each
of the 2 tournaments that they
have competed in this year.
Coach Harlow says that he ex­
pects to see even more im­
provement as the year pro­
gresses.
Heidi Mosier, one of the
three members of the speech
team, has “trophied” at both
tournaments, placing in the
top three of around 20 people
in the catagories in which she
has competed. She competes
in the junior division level,
which she says means she has
earned trophies at previous
tournaments.
Jennifer Hanel placed se­
cond in the novice expository
at the first tournament. “It
was my very first competition
and it was kind of scary. After
the first round I calmed
down.” Now that she has
earned a trophy, Hanel will
also compete at the junior
level. She says it will be more
of a challenge because people
will be better prepared. “I was
surprised at the (first) tourna­
ment. People came totally un­
prepared. One guy even read
his manuscript when everyone
else had theirs memorized. I
don’t think that will happen in
junior division.”
Justy Pabst, the Ione male
on the speech squad, has also
competed but hasn’t earned a
trophy yet.
Harlow says the members of
the team all have great at­
titudes. “We emphasize quali­
ty, not quantity,” says Connie
Conners, assistant and advisor
to the speech squad.
Proving
Conners’
statements correct, Harlow
said that he expects to see all
three of his squad members
competing at the national
tournament in California dur­
ing April. But before na­
tionals, the squad will compete
in tournaments at Clark Col­
lege, the University of Puget
Sound, Willamette University
and Linfield.

Soviet life to be explored

Donna Turkish Seifer, a lec­
turer in Russian language and
Soviet life and culture at Lewis
and Clark College will present
“Slices of Soviet .Life”
November 28 in Clackamas
Community College’s Fireside
Lounge.
Seifer has been to Russia six
times and most recently com­
pleted a nine-week study pro­
gram with 27 Lewis and Clark
students in 1983. During her
last
excursion,
she
photographed more than 50
hours of candid footage and is
incorporating it into her
courses of Russian language
and culture.
An avid videographer,
Seifer has been to Russia twice
as a consultant from the Nor­
thwest Film Study Center in
Portland. Her expertise was
used for producing videotapes
as well as reviewing and
recommending Soviet films
for international film festivals
in Portland.
While in Russia Seifer did
not always have official
authorization. “I relied on the
good will of Soviet friends and
acquaintances, as well as on
my intuition, knowledge of
Soviet life and Russian ‘men­
tality’, and good luck,” Seifer
stated. •

Bursheim retires from College
By Shelley Davis
Of The Print
Norm Bursheim, Clackamas
Community College’s Art
Department Head is retiring
the end of Fall term after serv­
ing the college for all of its
nearly 20 years. He was one of
four teachers originally hired
by the college back in the
mid-60’s.
“When they hired me, we
had a small office with three
rooms in Milwaukie. The Art
department
was
on
McLoughlin Boulevard in
Gladstone in a small
building,” Bursheim said. The
art department has moved
seven times since finally get­
ting settled in its present loca­
tion
When asked about the cur­
rent college administration,
Bursheim said “I don’t think
(President) Hakanson gets the
credit he should.” Regarding
the instructors, Bursheim says
that “The people they have
hired are really exceptionally
good. They’re coming in with
new ideas,” he continued.
“The college is an exceptional­
ly fine college,” he said.
Bursheim graduated from
high school in 1952 and then
attended many different col­
leges while studying art. He
received his Master’s Degree in
art from the University of
North Dakota. He then at­
tended Moorehead State
University in Moorehead,
Minnisota. “I went there so I
could be under Dr. A. Nelson.
That’s what we use to do was
to try and be under someone
we really admired, wherever
they taught,” Bursheim said.
Bursheim then taught at
schools in Benson and Faire-
mont, Minnesota. He worked
in Benson for three years, in
Fairemont for five years, and
left there in 1958. “At that
time, you could quit a job and
get another one right away,”
he said, laughing.
He made his way to Oregon
and was hired by the Oregon
City Senior High School and
taught there for nine years.
During this time, Bursheim
had received a teacher’s award
from the Tri-City area. “They
were looking for teachers with
a good reputation,” he said
when speaking of C.C.C.’s
planning and beginning.
For the future, Bursheim
plans to spend time at his
studio which overlooks
Portland and Mt. Hood. Also,
he plans to go to his cabin on
the lake in Canada. “I love to
hunt and love guns,” he said.
“I might go East to hunt, I
might go into art sales, I don’t
know. I do know that I’ll have
no troubles,” he said. “I miss­
ed the freedon I wanted and I
refuse to regiment my life at
this point,” Bursheim added,
chuckling.
