He'll be working on some ial projects, which will include visiting iral high schools throughout the Clack- 4 area to promote a better image of imulity colleges. ■The general public doesn't realize that Foreign students experience agricultural I life CCC offers a lot of good, tough classes, and has a lot of really excellent instructors," said Baker. Also in the immediate future, Baker will be developing the criteria for classes by which to receive a high school diploma. "It's difficult to contrast high school with college students, because the students' attitudes are so different," said Baker. "Col lege students are more serious, being much more concerned with their future, and with 'finding themselves'." "I've had an interesting and enjoyable year working in colleges, but I'm also very much looking forward to returning to GHS," said Baker. "It's much easier getting to know the high school students personally because they're around school more and don't have as many outside concerns as college students do." Explaining farming and agriculture isn't very easy when explaining to foreign stu dents. As a result of this slight communication barrier, Clackamas Community College agri Culture instructor, Dave Meyers, recently took 11 foreign students on a tour of two local crop farms and one dairy farm. The students were from Lewis and Clark College and were Iranian, Arabian, and Japanese. "I think they thoroughly enjoyed the trip," said Meyers. "They were especially impressed with the dairy farm." The farms visited were farms near Canby and the owners were people who are in the Farm Business Management class at CCC. This course . taught by Jack Thorsen lasts a minimum of three years and often extends indefinitely. Class participants are required to come to the college classes and Dick Baker. . . new addition to counseling dept. the instructors also visit the farms on an individua1 basis. The foreign students had the opportunity to see how an American agricultural com munity lives and they also saw how much work is involved in running a farm. "The students were impressed with the amount of money that equipment costs," said Meyers. Many of the students could not comprehend why a tractor costs so much and why a farmer had four or five. Most of the countries they come from would have one small tractor and maybe 20 acres." Meyers felt it was a good experience for the students and if there is continued in terest he said the trips would be taken peri odically. Any interested persons from CCC or other schools are invited to contact Meyers and arrangements can be made for trips.
