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.

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

the culture to

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

tive contribution to society and the
gerontology field. Wilson is mak

Some of Wilson’s past 18
