Notes & things...
It is amazing to me that things
in the Sports Department have
kept fairly cohesive. Unfortu
nately, there will be someone
else at’the helm of thedepart-
ment since I have decided to trans
fer to PCC for Winter and Spring
terms. It was a tough choice, but
it is my best interest.
My stay at Clackamas has
been a positive one. The paper
has been my focus of enjoyment
and release, but all good things
must come to a close.
There are a few loose ends
that needed to be addressed, so
here it goes.
... Well sports rans, the cross
country season here has come to
a close. It was an enjoyable sea
son the concluded in a positive
way, with them winning the com
bined championship as well as
the women’s championship.
Congratulations to every
single member of the team, you
all deserve to be recognized for
your achievement It also hard
to see Shayne Corson, a mem
ber of the women’s team, unable
to compete this year. Hopefully
you will be able to next year.
... Has anyone heard anything
else or any new developments
on the game room lately? My
“ears” have been relatively si
lent recently, so I have no idea
what is going to happen. Hope
fully the administration is actu
ally considering what is involved
in any perspective move.
The only new development
is in reference to a letter sent by
a memberof the faculty, who is
opposed to the game room. I felt
it was my job to tell you that the
reference to the "Music Man"
was used out of context. Watch
the movie again. By the way, it is
one of my favorites of all time.
... The Blazers are 9-0 (as of
Monday)! I really think Rip City
is here to stay. Too bad that
good old Drazen Petrovic ¿.upset
with his play time. Petrovic
should have been reprimanded
for his comments, and rightfully
so that he is now $500 poorer?
... Those Chicago Black Hawks
are ripping up the NHL, much
to the pleasure of a friend, an ar
dent Hawk supporter. Ed Belfour
sure is a candidate for Rookie of
the Year.
... Who ¿this John Cullen dude?
It was just two years ago*where
he scored 49 points in 79 games
as a third liner. He struck me as
a pretty good scorer who was not
utilized under the Ubriaco re
gime in Pittsburgh. It’s nice to
see him leading Gretzky (Mr.
Ego) in the scoring race. Keep
goingjohn!
... Once again it is time for the
rookie update. I’m going to stick
with Mats Sundih, but Sergei
Federov, playing for Detroit,
Alan Scnacht’s favorite team, is
definitely the front runner right
now. Watch out for Belfour.
The Devil Watch: 12-9-1
... Why was Ed Olczyck traded
to Winnipeg? Hmm, at least he’ll
be on a playoff bound team, rather
than the Toronto Maple Laughs.

Tai' chi anyone?
by Nolan Kidwell
StaffWriter
The tai’ chi ch’uan class (a
form of the martial arts) will be
taught again here at the college
by David-Dorian Ross starting
this winter term.
The tai’ chi class was origi
nally offered as a community
education course, but as it be
came more popular it was of
fered for one college credit each
termlastyear. The class was not
offered during the fall term this
yearbutwill be back forthe win
ter term.
Tai’ chi is based on the idea
that, “you can be effective mar
tial artist without being fast and
strongbydevelopingyour inter
nal power,” according to Ross.
He described it more simply as
“Kung Fu in slow motion.”
“It’s a vety portable exercise,”
stated Carolyn Eddy who prac
tices intermediate, tai chi which
is the more practical, self de
fense form of the art.
Carol Pienovi who has been
practicing tai chi for two years
said, “It’s very relaxing and a
moderate form of aerobic exer
cise.” Pienovi and Eddy have a
tai chi club forming here on
campus for those who already
know tai chi and can be con
tacted through the counseling
office.
Tai’ chi is a series of 24 slow
movements which can be used
in self defense. It was developed
* in the middle of the seventeenth
century in China by a general in
the Chinese home guards dur
ing the Ming Dynasty.
The word “chi” comes from
the Chinese word “qi” meaning
inner power.
The class will be from 8 a.m.
to 9:30 a.m on Tuesdays and
Thursdays during this winter.

Center is open 24 hours, a day.
