Political Science Instructor
Dean Darris
German Instructor
Dick Stones
by Anjanette Booth
News Editor
Dick Stones, a new full-time
German instructor, feels fortunate
to be part of the growing Foreign
Language department at the col-
lege.
“I tell
my students
that German
is easy,” said
Stone
on
German's
parallels to
the English
language.
Stone likes to
set a relaxed
atmosphere
in his class­
room, where
students feel
comfortable
and natural about learning a for­
eign language. He feels a lan­
guage is not just cut and dried;
more than grammiar needs to be
stressed.
Dean Darris, the new politi­
cal science instructor, is a firm be­
liever that the
youth of today
need to edu­
cate them­
selves on po­
litical matters
to have future
success.
“I’m not
a Democrat
or a Republi­
can. I’m an
independent
citizen who is
deeply con­
cerned about
the commu­
nity,” Darris said about his rea­
sons for teaching political science.
Darris would like to remove the
fear from the discipline, to en­
courage more students to enroll
in the political science course.
Darris’s experience in the po­
litical world began as a law clerk
for the state of Oregon. He moved
into teaching
from there, at
institutions
s u c h a s
Marlyhurst,
Mount Hood
Community
College and
Chemeketa.
Now at
Clackamas,
Darris hopes
to work with
the Political
Science
epartment to
expand the
program to include political
theory, international relations and
comparative politics with Ameri­
can government.

Office Administration In­
structor Tanya Patrick has become
a new mem­
ber of the
Business de­
partment at
Clackamas,,
teaching
courses in
keyboarding,
Lotus, Busi­
ness English
and electronic
calculators.
“I can
bring in a
little of my
own experi­
ence to the
classroom in not only skill-build­
ing, but human relations,” Patrick
said on how she will benefit
Stones' goal is to get his stu­
dents to speak and learn as much
about Germany and its people as
possible within a two-year setting.
He stresses to
his students
that
they
need to learn
not just the
language but
the culture to
get the total
picture.

sity,

Brigham Young University and
Instructor at the University of
Alaska.
A new addition to the Nurs­
ing department this term is Nurs­
ing Instructor Nancy Wilson.
“I’ve been teaching a long
time, and I really enjoy watching
people learn and grow,” Wilson
said. She feels that by teaching
she is able to make more of a posi­
tive contribution to society and the
gerontology field. Wilson is mak­
ing her return to teaching at
Clackamas after working as the
director in nursing homes.
Some of Wilson’s past 18
years of experience also consist of
teaching at two other colleges,
working as the director of nurs­
ing in acute-care settings and

Clackamas students.
Patrick has more than 20
years of ex­
perience in
her field.
When not
teaching, she
works in the
business
world to help
keep her and
her classes
up to date
with all the
latest busi­
ness infor­
mation and
materials.
Patrick guar­
antees students they will not
graduate from her classroom with
out-of-date information.
“Helping to facilitate lan­
guage” is what Jeff Knorr, CCC’s
new English
instructor,
hopes to con­
tribute to his
literature and
technical
writing
classes.
Knorr
would like to
present a sol­

learning ex­

all students
in writing
and literature. Past teaching ex­
periences, such as teaching sixth-
and ninth-grade History and En­
glish in Barcelona, Spain, will
