Gibson wants to play compact discs be cause they “make a clearer sound,” he comments. He encourages everyone to bring their own com pact discs for a better variety of music. “It’s not a show,” Gibson comments, “it’s just friends get ting together, listening to some tunes.” Gibson said people can’t be lieve how much differently he dresses on Fridays than on other days of the week when he works as a salesman after school. Gibson likes to make his job PART-TIME OPPORTUNITIES WORKLOAD GETS YOU CREDITS. I risone gets you CASH, EXPERIENCE AND A FUTURE. fun by dressing a little “wild.” “People ask me why I dress the way I do,” Gibson said, *it*s the only time lean wear what I want - besides my parents were kind of ‘hippies’ and that’s where I got the idea.” Besides the way he dresses, his deejay alter ego has an inter esting name -Dr. Doob. “The name came from a skate board team I’m on named the Doobie Brothers,” Gibson added. “People who know me and then see me as Dr. Doob often ask me about my split per sonality,” Gibson laughed. • The idea of having a deejay came from the requests of the students, according to Gibson. Depending on the turn-out of students, “the one hour could later be extended,” Gibson said. The music will be played in the Fireside lounge “so it doesn’t bother anyone,” added Gibson. Currently, an older recorder is being used to play the music. “A new player is in the budget now, however,” Gibson commented. “We really need the students’ support to get the ball rolling,” Gibson added, “we eventually want to make it into a lot of people having fun - a big party.” If you like listening to music and having a good time - and don’t have any classes Fridays from 12 to 1 p.m., bringyour CDs and visit Dr. Doob in the Fireside Lounge. Page 3 Future looks fruitful for the Orchard Society Arboretum By Dawn Kuehl Staff Writer The main object of the Home Orchard Society Arboretum, ac cording to Paul Xanthull, is to Educate people on the growing of fruit trees. Dwarf fruit trees are the focus Of Xanthall’s program at Clackamas Community College. They are called dwarf because they are smaller in height and take up less ground space. This way a person does not need a large yard in order to have fruit trees and the person with an orchard will have room for more trees. The Environmental Learning Center will be teaching a class on growing dwarf fruit trees Spring and Fall terms. This class will explain “dwarfing” and “size con trol” in some detail. It will also indude such things as how to prune a tree and the nutrients to use for best production results, the time to pick the best fruit and the uses for it once it is picked. The dass will also include trees which growbest in the Northwest. If a person cannot decide which trees to grow, the arboretum has a wide variety to choose from. The trees range from common fruits like apples and, plums to exotic fruits such as kiwi. One can per sonally research trees by watching them grow and then actually ta$t ing the fruit when ripe. Anyone in the community that i would like to learn about trees I can visit the arboretum to browsej and ask questions. It will be open! to the public starting in April and running through the end of Octo ber. Hours are scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the first and third Saturdays and second and fourth Sundays of each month. If these times are not convenient, an ap pointment can be made by an individual or a group to come and take a tour. Contact Paul Xan thull at 655-1939 for an appoint ment. Some of these trees will be available for purchase on Satur days March 10-31. These trees are healthy specimens that have been newly budded or grafted, and in some cases both. This means the trees could bear fruit in as few as three years; whereas, a seedling could take as many as nine years. The sale of these trees help to finance the maintenance of the arboretum. A future goal of the arbore tum is “to be on sound financial footing to support itself well into. the 2000’s,” said Xanthull. The; society is hoping to do this by growing the fruit for the cafeteria and the vending machines on campus, in addition to selling trees aAdfruittQthe. public. 'Always* is brilliant in all ways by Rosea n n Wentworth Copy/Entertainment Editor Always is movie-wizard Ste ven Spielberg’s newest project to be released on the silver screen which is based on Victor Flem ing’s 1943 fantasy A Guy Named Joe which starred Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne. The stoiy revolves around pilots based at a Northwest fire fighting camp..Richard Dreyfuss plays “Pete,” a poised and well- respected firefighting pilot who consistently takes what other people might call gut-wrenching risks while Pete would just call his “stunts” necessary to get the job done. Holly Hunter (Broadcast News) plays “Dorinda,” Pete’s true love who intuitively knows “his number is up” and tries unsuc cessfully to keep him grounded. The ever-popular John Goodman (TV’s Roseanne) plays Dreyfuss’ larger-than-life pilot sidekick who agrees with Dorinda about Pete’s fate, but ultimately benefits from Pete’s final flight. Goodman keeps Dreyfuss and Hunter looking fresh and light. Another key player in Always is newcomer Brad Johnson, who Dreyfuss, now in that big firecamp base in the sky, believes is the earthly being he must inspire. But where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and Johnson turns out to be the silent antagonist of the film. The great Audrey Hepburn cameos as Dreyfuss’ divine connection and looks angelic as ever.

COMING January.14 Of One Blood Public Seivices 11:00 AM ■ ( Adult Forum 9:30 AM Attended Nursery 9:30 AM WE RUN THE TIGHTEST SHIP IN THE SHIPPING BUSINESS January 10,1990 Church School 9:30 AM (except Aug. 1-Sep.15) As unlikely as it seems, the Richard Dreyfuss in this film is not the Dreyfuss most of movie goers have grown to dislike in the recent past Although playing a cocky role, his cockiness as an actor seems to have humbled somehow and given him an edge. Hunter has the metabolism of a hummingbird and challenges her audience to keep up with Dor- inda’s emotions and intuitive ac tions. It is obvious that Spielberg fell in love with Fleming’s version as a young man. Although the film is set in the present day, it is inten tionally a very 1940’s movie with the heroes and heroines, innocent love and words like “Gosh!.” Instead of hacking orstealing plots as most remakes do, Always respects A Guy Named Joe and only adds to the original. Flem ing, Tracy and Dunne would surely be proud of what Spielberg has accomplished with Always. Spielberg, not surprisingly, has made another beautiful and touch ing film which makes your whole body smile and, at times, a tear or two may find itself crawling s lowly down your cheek. Spielberg punches all the right buttons, whether it’s making his audience stop breathing with anticipation during flying sequences, or mak ing one’s heart beat with laughter along with Goodman’s great one- liners. The fast paced editing and thephotography of Mikael Solo mon along with Spielberg’s “can’t miss” story telling passion make Always a movie everyone should undoubtedly see.
