Mark Wieger is $100 richer
because of a homework assign­
ment.
Around mid-October, the
Oregon City Senior Center spon­
sored a contest for a new logo.
This contest was open to the public
Kevin Forney, commercial art
instructor, decided to turn the
contest into a class project. All of
the students in the class submit­
ted an entry and Wieger was the
winner.
Wieger found out that he’d
won the contest, “about four days
after everyone else did.” He had
missed class the day that Forney
announced the winner, and a few
days later a fellow student con­
gratulated him on winning. “I didn’t
believe him,’’stated Wieger.
When asked how he felt about
winning, Wieger responded, “I was
shocked... completely amazed...
because I felt there were a lot of
good designs just from our class.
“I was trying to find a few
things that symbolized the Senior
Center. I thought that unity and
freedom were good symbols,”
Weiger remarked.
He stated that he wanted to
“keep it simple,” so that it could
be, “recognized easily and be re­
duced without distortion.”
In the design, “the intertwin­
ing letters represent unity and the
bird stands for freedom,’’explained
Wieger.

Rainman is a movie that takes
both actors and audience on a
journey. It moves from Cincin­
nati to Los Angeles, with a few
stops for self-examination along
the way. Barry Levinson (Good
Morning Vietnam, The Natural)
came on with two weeks notice to
direct Dustin Hoffman and Tom
Cruise in some of the best acting
this year.
Hoffman plays Raymond Bab­
bitt, an autistic savant who has
not been out of an institution since
1965. Autistics live in their own
world, and are either unable to or
have difficulty relating to the world
outside their own thoughts. Dustin
Hoffman delivers his best perform­
ance since Ishtar, and will get the
nod for an Academy Award nomi­
nation.
Cruise plays Raymond’s
brother Charlie. He is an exotic

REVIEW
car salesman and, similar to Ray­
mond, is self absorbed. He has
difficulty expressing his feelings
toward others.
In pre-production the film
probably looked as if it might not
work. This may be the reason it
had three directors and six writers
before Levinson took over. He
centers on the relationship be­
tween the two brothers and sends
them and us through a pleasing
chapter in their lives. As they
move along the road toward Los
Angeles they inadvertently teach
each other how to express their
feelings. It is ironic that they
opened up in Las Vegas, the capi­
tal of fantasy life. I suggest that if
you have not already seen the movie
please go. You will have a very
enjoyable time.
Scotland native prefers USA

Hendrea Fergusonis just like
any other student attending Clacka­
mas except for one small twist.
She lived in Glenrothe Fife,
Scotland until the last nine years
of her life.
“My husband Brian’s job in
electronics brought us over to
California. Later he traveled to
Portland and loved it. He came
home and said when he had a
chance he wanted to move up here
and here we are,” stated Ferguson.
They now reside in West Linn
with their two sons Brian Jr., 9,
and Michael, 7.
Ferguson is an English major
and hopes to be able to teach. A
smile crosses her face when she
speaks of teaching.
“I volunteered as an aide in
my son’s school. I enjoyed the
reading part of it. It is exciting to
see a child begin to read and un­
derstand,” said Ferguson.
She likes Scotland and misses
her family. But she is happy with
her life in Portland and wouldn’t
choose to live in Scotland again.
“It is different here. Who you
are depends on what you do with
your life. The class system is very

entrenched over there which is
fine if you don’t mind the position
that you are in,” explained
Ferguson.
Besides family, one other thing
is missing here.
“It is January and a good haggis
can’t be found,” laughed Ferguson.
Ahaggis, Ferguson explained, is a
food unique to Scotland and is
made by mixing together and
cooking what is left after a sheep
is slaughtered.
