Honors program expands
A hands-on enriched intellectual experience
by Christi Snavely
Opinion Editor
The Honors College is ex
panding, and they want you to be
aware of their programs as op
tions when you register this year.
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.

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

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.

instructor at the college, was also
very willing to sing Reese’s
praises. 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.
