Costa Rican visitors tour campus ROBERT SCHOENBERG Editor in Chief A group of retired professionals from Costa Rica visited the Envi ronmental Learning Center on Oc tober 20, as part of the Retired Person’s Exchange Program coor dinated by Foreign Language De partment Chair Cariota Holley. The 22 Coasta Rican visitors also attended a lunch hosted by Clackamas’ Spanish Club, Entre Amigos, held the same day in the new Foreign Language Lab on the second floor of Barlow Hall. The group from Costa Rica ar rived in Portland October 7, and will be visiting for a month while staying with host families at vari ous locations around the metro area. During the month they will be visiting the Capitol at Salem, Mount Hood, the Aquarium in Newport as well as Washington Park in Portland, also on the itin erary will be visits to the Japanese Gardens, the Portland Center for the Performing Arts and Silver Falls State Park east of Salem where they will spend the night. “Students of Spanish will be available to show the various as pects of the Clackamas Campus and its programs so that the Costa Ricans will have a greater under standing of community colleges in the United States, since these do not exist in that country,” said Holley. The visitors will also have an opportunity to visit the classes on campus and speak with students in the Spanish language. The Retired Person’s Exchange Program that coordinates the mter- americas’ visits here in Oregon is in its eleventh year, said Holly. The Oregon Chapter is part of a national program called Partners of the Americas, founded in 1964 under President John F. Kennedy’s Alliance for Progress agenda. “Partners of the Americas is the largest volunteer organization in the Western Hemisphere and ex ists to foster and promote inter American friendships, coopera tion, understanding and social and economic development,” said Holley. The program works by match ing each of the states with one of a Central American, South Ameri can or Caribbean country. Oregon has been paired with Costa Rica and is a pioneer with the Retired Person’s Exchange cultural pro gram. Every year for the past 10 years a group from Costa Rica travels to Oregon in October, while a group from Oregon has traveled to Costa Rica in January. Over 550 individuals have taken part in the exchange since it was started. Foundation seeks money for statue ROBERT SCHOENBERG Editor in Chief TIMOTHY A. BELL / Clackamas Print Clackamas hopes to purchase "Shared Destinies," a sculpture by Devin L. Field. The Clackamas Community College Foundation announced that they wish to purchase “Shared Destinies,” a 12-foot high steel sculpture on display in front of the Community Center, and perma nently display the sculpture on campus. Devin Laurence Field created the sculpture for the 1998 CCC Sculpture Exposition that took place on campus in the Spring of 1998. “I sculpt animal subjects as trib utes rather than as ornaments... It is about form, history, archetypes and myth,” said Field. The artwork features two drought horses pulling against each other. The artist is representing the pioneer spirit of the West in the 19 th century. The artwork will cost $18,000, with $16,000 still needed to final ize the purchase and add the sculp ture to the permanent collection at CCC, said Foundation Assistant Director Beverly Fulmore. . 1 • , , . — , , Aulani Wahage, Alvin Ellis, Ric Jenkerson and Paul Dickison make a play for the ball.

AMY PARRISH I Clackamas Print Football games played by CCC staff and students The Clackamas Cougars and the Intramural Club combined forces to field eight teams last Tuesday and Thursday, Oct. 13 & 15, for some flag football during the lunch hour. Faculty, staff and students par ticipated in the football games with almost 60 people playing in all. “It was great, it was great,” en thused participant and organizer David LeDoux, who along with Wayne Logemann put together the event. The athletic department contrib uted the referees for the games. The football games, along with other events planned over the next two months, like a pool tournament on November 17 and November 19 in the Cougar’s Den, are part of LeDoux’s efforts to open up com- munication between students and the college staff. “There is more we can be doing, more that the college can be do ing, more that the administration can be doing to reach out to the students,” LeDoux said. “This football game is just one way we can bring everyone to gether for some fun, and I think we did just that.”
