Don Hartsock, honors direc tor, describes the program as an exciting option for curious, inter ested students who wish to grow personally and academically. The goal of the Honors Col lege is to provide students with an enriched intellectual experi ence through active participation in the learning process. Partici pants in the program will have opportunities to pursue topics of special interest and to work closely with instructors who will assist them in making the most of their college experience. Courses offered Winter Term include two new classes. Talking Heads, a Public Speaking course taught by Jane Rickenbaugh, will cover current issues and contem porary ideas of your choice. The class will also cover guaranteed stage-fright reduction techniques. The other addition is U.S. History, taught by Tom Woodhouse. Woodhouse describes the course “as an examination of America’s wrenching transition from an agrarian to an industrial society in the late 19th century.” The programs consist of in- depth study where dedicated fac ulty members work closely with students in an open exchange of ideas. Intellectually challenging classes stimulate independent learning and build on students’ individual interests and abilities. Hartsock encourages stu dents to register for the classes and give them a try. If you have specific questions regarding the challenge level of a course, he suggested contacting the instruc tor individually to get a “feel” for the class. Students with a 3.25 GPA or better are eligible for honors classes. No application process is required; just sign up for them di rectly. In addition to finding them listed under their individual course sections, there is an Hon ors category in the Winter Sched ule. For information, contact Don Hartsock at ext. 2542. Spanish Club awards one-term scholarship by Jocelyn Gauthier Feature Editor Annie Martin, a second- year student, was recently awarded a one-term tuition scholarship by the Entre Amigos, otherwise known as the Spanish Club. To qualify for the award, the student must get all “A’s” in Spanish, be in financial need, be a member of Entre Amigos, and show some involvement in school activities. Entre Amigos worked all through Fall Term, selling chocolate candies to raise the money for the award. “We will continue selling the candies through the year to help toward our next award,” said Foreign Language Depart ment Chair Carlotta Holley. “The student must be basi cally an excellent student in the language,” Holley said. “I really enjoy language, and I was really in need,” Mar tin said. She is thinking about fin ishing her degree at Multnomah School of the Bible, where she would major in Bible and pos sibly minor in Women’s Minis tries, and at the same time study Spanish part-time at Portland State University. She hopes to use her lan guage skills for interpretation someday, but she sees a lot of use for them right now through her job. “There are a lot of people who are Spanish, and I can talk to them! I meet a lot of Hispan ics at work,” she said. Martin is currently employed at Nonna Emilia’s. Reese’s achievements immeasurable, unsurpassed Continued from page 1________ as faculty member, department chair, assistant dean, interim president and his final position as Dean of Instructional Services. His last act on behalf of the school was to donate his final month’s salary and benefits to the College Foundation as the begin ning of an endowment in his A«ame for the 7'jrpose of innova tion by use of faculty members. In addition to the $8,000 that he donated, friends and co-work ers added another $5,000, and the Clackamas Board of Education matched the donations, bringing the total to $26,000. Reese’s contributions to the school have been far-reaching and not without recognition. While speaking with people regarding information on Reese, I encoun tered open doors in every depart ment. Everyone had something positive to say about a man who has made a remarkable and evi dently lasting impression on the faculty, staff and students at Clackamas. “He is such a creative thinker, and he made so many decisions that impacted the wel fare of the College. Because of his creativity, I think we’re so much better off today than we would have been otherwise,” said John Keyser, president of Clackamas, co-worker and long time friend of Reese. Keyser also described Reese’s ability to balance people and problems. “He was extremely popular with staff because he connected well with people; he had their welfare foremost in mind, and people relied on him when things got tough. He was able to make things easier just because of his soothing style and approach to dealing with problems, and people that were having difficulty, whether they were students, staff, faculty or community members,” Keyser said.

She noted his involve ment and support for the extra curricular events with Arts & Humanities. “He was one of the most highly-respected people on cam pus. He always had the best in terests of the students and faculty at the forefront of his pursuits.” Orlando also noted Reese’s excel lent listening skills and on ability to make fair decisions. Reese himself hopes his gift is put to good work and that edu cators take advantage of the op portunity to try innovative tech niques in their work. Another important facet to Reese’s personality seems to be his selflessness and modesty in everything he does. “I had the privilege of playing golf with Lyle and observing him when he hit a hole-in-one, and he was very modest You know, he just sort of smiled and didn’t make a big deal of it at all. He did that for the college; he hit a lot of holes- in-one for us, but he was very modest and unassuming about it. He took his accomplishments in stride, always understated,” Keyser said, speaking at Reese’s retirement reception. Reese himself said, “I didn’t want to establish any kind of en dowment in my name, I just wanted to give money to the foun dation, to give something back. With budgets so tight, it’s awfully tough to break money loose that can be used for trying different approaches to teaching.” Reese plans to stay active during his retirement by spend ing time with his family and get ting plenty of traveling in. He does, however, plan to teach a class or two each year at Clackamas and donate the money that part-time instructors earn to ward the new endowment. Reese hopes that his actions encourage other faculty members to donate their final paychecks or spend time volunteering after re tiring. “If just a few retired fac ulty members or other staff mem bers volunteered to teach just one class a year, donating the pay for that to the foundation, that would be $50,000 a year,” Reese said. Lyle Reese was described as a compassionate, selfless man who quietly accomplished and assisted with many projects dur ing his 25 years of service to Clackamas Community College. He is said to be a man who doesn’t want a lot of credit for his accom plishments. Many people who feel they have benefitted profession ally, as well as personally, from the years they have been privi leged to work alongside a man who gave so much to the commu nity. Reese deserves credit where credit is due. Thanks go out to a man who, by his acts of generos ity and kindness, has launched a far-reaching legacy for others to pursue where he left off. GIVE IT UP!
