Clackamas drama students
returned from the 27th Kennedy
Center American College Theater
Festival with a “renewed sense of
vigor for theater,” according to
Barbara Bragg, theater instructor.
The festival, held in Eugene
at the University of Oregon and
Lane‘Community College, took
place Feb. 8 to Feb. 11.
“We’ve got this production
(“Talking Pictures”) going, so we
couldn’t go (for the full four
days),” Bragg said. Thus, they
only went for the workshops on
Saturday.
Included in the workshops
was one on play writing. “Michael
Weller (playwright) was there
helping students,” Bragg said.
“I went to a presentation on
multiculturalism (which taught)
how to acquaint students with,
playwrights from various cul­
tures,” Bragg said.
She also attended a Reader’s
Theater, “where everyone gets to
perform and find out some of the
unusual skills for Reader’s The­
ater presentation.
“It’s (Reader’s Theater) re­
ally different because people
aren’t costumed and make-up is
regular,” she said.
“They don’t interact with the
other people on stage...and yet it
was fascinating to find that you
got emotionally drawn in. It
seems quite sterile, but with a
well-trained voice and truth, these
characters...come to life,” she
said.
“Theater has nothing to do
with competition, and everything
to do with cooperation,” Bragg
said, as there were several com­
petitions at the festival.
“This is one of those rare
times when you have to pick a
winner, and I’m glad it doesn’i
happen very often,” she said.

rounded by five police cars. It was
bad enough I had five tickets on
my record. All I needed was one
more to really screw me up!
Now a cop approached my
window, his little penlight blind­
ing me instantly.
“May I see your driver’s li­
cense?” he asked in a command­
ing voice.
Nervously, I whipped out my
license and proof of insurance.
When he asked me for my regis­
tration, it took Wilson and me 10
minutes of nervous searching
through piles of junk to find a
crumpled up yellow copy of my
temporary registration. I had re­
cently purchased my Isuzu, and
had not yet received my perma­
nent registration.
I was shocked to hear the cop
tell me to get out of the car. I had
never been asked that in all my
life. He proceeded to search me
and my friends for possible weap­
ons or drugs. Then he hauled us
all into the back of some police
cars.
I was bewildered beyond
comprehension. I was in the back
of a police car all by myself. I
bowed my head in respect and
humility. I felt like such a fool to
be so fully responsible for such a
misdemeanor.
I wondered if tfiey had seat
belts back there. I was going to

The police officer read me my
rights and asked me if I was will­
ing to tell him the whole truth,
with the knowledge that five
neighbors had witnessed my
jump.
I replied simply, “Yes, sir! All
I wanted to do was to go over the
bump! Sir!”
I answered his questions
carefully and explained the situ­
ation. He had assumed we were
going 80, but I assured him that
55 was more like it.
Finally, just when I was about
to think we were all destined for
jail, he let us all go, and handed
me a $1,113 fine for reckless driv­
ing! He said he appreciated our
cooperation and advised me of the
upcoming court date.
As we all rejoined in my Im­
pulse, the first thing I said was,
“I really feel like I need a clove
cigarette!”
Slowly we slid from our ner­
vous attitudes into a more mellow
atmosphere of excited talking
about the recent adventure we’d
been granted.
There was a lot of humor,
laughter and keeping the speed
limit.
We rambled my now noisy
car down to Carrows Restaurant
on 162nd to discuss the night’s
events over an extremely long cup
of decaffeinated peppermint tea.

ask the driver if they did, so I
could buckle myself in if we were
on our way off to jail or some other
institution.
A group of officers brought a
dog to search my car for drugs. I
saw them pull out my purple
beanbag and place it on the roof.
The beanbag acts as a unique tem­
porary passenger seat. I was sur­
prised they didn’t fine me for that.
I saw the dog wagging his tail
and jumping around in my vehicle
like a little high-strung kid. Soon
enough, he was released without
any kind of discoveries.
“Do you have any tatoos?” I
heard the cop in front say to me,
interrupting my thoughts.
“Yes, sir!” I replied. I tried
to think how respectfully I could
address him. I thought of saying,
“yes, your honor,” but that would
have been a mistake, I’m sure.
“What kind of tattoo, and
where do you have it?” I heard
him saying.
“An African Peace-shield on
my stomach. I was born and
raised in Zaire, Africa.”
He seemed to ignore this last
comment as he asked,"What state
were you bom in?”
“Zaire, Africa, sir!” I re­
sponded. I distinctly heard some
police officers in the background
remarking that if my car had been
American-made, it wouldn’t have
survived the “bump.”
