The best auto repair students in Or egon test their skills against each other on May 2 when Clackamas hosts the state’s annual auto troubleshoot. The Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills National Quality Care Challenge is the competition’s more cumbersome name. This traditional competition pits teams of students from the top 10 high school automotive programs in Oregon in a race to find and fix malfunctions deliberately planted in 10 identical new automobiles. The 10 schools are selected based on written exams pre viously taken by students. One of the participating teams will be from Canby High School. The teams supply their own tools and the college arranges the contest. Clackamas first hosted the compe tition in the early 1970s. The com petition is held in the quad between Barlow Hall, the automotive depart ment and the Community Center. Though the competition was won last year by Mountain View High School from Bend, most teams aim to compete against Vale High School, led by instructor Merle Saunders. Vale High School has won the competi tion in six of the last eight years and «vvori-lMéWrional title in 1992.

And then you’ve got the adults. So you’ve got this full range involved with celebrat ing Estonia, which is what Estonia does,” explained Cline. With this many stops being pulled out, to accommodate the music of one man, one might imagine that this music is truly unique. Lonnie Cline believes so and elaborates in detail. “In almost all of his music, there’s this constant narrative going on in some sec tion or another... so to all the other parts he assigns the image. So his music is incredibly poetic,” “which makes sensé because a lot of poetry is dealing either with an image or a narrative. And most of the lyrics to his music are poems,” he said. There are more technical aspects, too, that contribute to the overall effect of Tormis’ compositions. “Of course, his treatment of har mony—-there’s a lot of tension and re lease in it and the chords are beautiful his sense of harmony and rhythm are unique,” stated Cline. Perhaps Tormis’ compositions are so compelling because of the vision of the man behind them. Tormis has stated that he never writes for music’s sake. “I have always had some other rea son—an idée fixe— a wish to speak up, to express an idea, even a political idea, but not a musical one,” said Tormis. And so, the musical beauty of his work is an extension of the profound message of each piece, Lonnie Cline appreciates thatand is very excited about the coming Week. “The whole third is, this is a once in a lifetime thing ... and that makes us unique—nobody else is going to get this opportunity unless they go to Es tonia and work with him there,” Cline proclaimed. Cline wishes to thank Judy Hylton and Kay Davis for their administra tive support, and Helle and Kalle Merilo, the Estonian couple who will be boarding Tormis, for their efforts in making this possible. This is sure to be a landmark in the Clackamas music program. Cline puts it this way: “It’s really something when you get to work with one of the most famous composers of a country, especially a of a country that is this involved in choral music. I don’t think it gets any better.” Dave Arter, physical science instructor (right front), received the Distinguished Regional Coordinator Award during Phi Theta Kappa’s International Conference at the Wyndham-Anatole Hotel in Dallas, Texas.
