New counselor to promote CCC
||will be designing several projects to
lote Clackamas Community College to
school students," said Dick Baker, a
lounselor.
Iker has been counseling at Gladstone
[School, (GHS), for 10 years. While
ling his residence in Gladstone with his
land two sons, Baker is taking a leave
1 GHS for the 1976-77 school year to
pel St various colleges.
aker was an admissions counselor at
fend State University for fall term, and
Icific University for winter term. For
igterm he is presently a full-time coun-
|at CCC. 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.

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

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.
