Mitzil Loncheria is delicios
By Annemarie Schulte

1. More classes: most Univer­
sities offer a greater number and
variety of classes than community
colleges, and that’s a good thing
if you like to take unique classes
or extra classes not related to your
major. Where else can you take a
course named “Underwater Crime
Scene Investigation”?
2. Better resources: there is so
much more access to study groups,
tutors, fitness clubs, intramural
sports, you name it There’s always
something new and fun to do at a
four-year, even if you start it your­
self.
3. More people: more people
means _.. more diversity! Clackamas
isn’t that small of a college but ever
notice how you start to see the same
people all the time? And they become
the only people you talk to? At a uni­
versity you’re meeting new people
every day and making friends you
have a lot in common with, without
even trying.
4. More opportunities: sorori­
ties, fiats, clubs, internships, jobs ...
the opportunities áre, for a lack of a
better word, endless at a secondary
school, and there’s just some oppor­
tunities at a 4-year that aren’t avail­
able at a community college.
5. Bigger campus: imagine a
sprawling campus so big you’re
forced to ride a bicycle from class to
class. While a bigger campus has its
pros and cons, one cool thing is that
you’re likely to discover something
new often, sb you’ll never get bored.
6. More clubs: if you’re inter­
ested in joining a club, while there
are many here at CCC, there are
usually so many more at a university.
Just think of all the weird groups you
can join for fun.
7. College athletics: while we’re
proud of our Cougar basketball team,
we just don’t get the college experi­
ence of packing into a stadium and
cheering on the football or baseball
team. If you’re into them, athletics
are a great reason to attend a uni­
versity.
8. Change of scenery: there’s so
much more to see and experience and
sometimes a change of surroundings
is just what a college student needs to
really thrive. So pick the college with
the best weather and scenery and go
for it (Miami anyone?).
9. Classes specific to your
major: a four year university,.when
you’re a transfer, is the place where
you really get to sink your teeth
into your major. Most of us can
hardly wait to be done with our gen­
eral education classes. This is where
we really get to get into our future
careers (and change our majors five
or six times).
10. School spirit: the number
of kids wearing “Clackamas” gear
compared to another school, like say
Oregon State, is not even compa­
rable. Kids at universities have a lot
more school spirit, and it’s exciting
to be proud of your school..

Mitzil Loncheria in
Oregon City pleases
the palate with its
authentic and local
foods; the hours,
however, aren’t so
accomodating

The Clackamas Print
After finding out that the
Spanish club was going to
be taking a lunchtime field
trip on April 28, I decided it
was time to try out the cafe
in Oregon City called Mitzil
Loncheria.
When I arrived the first
thing I noticed was the exte­
rior which made me feel like
I was walking through some­
body’s back door. Once inside
however I was met with a rush
of festive colors that would
make anyone with a palette
for visually pleasing aesthet­
ics go into a celebratory rush
of enthusiasm. The walls and
ceiling were all painted in
various colors spanning the
rainbow and beyond.
The room was packed with
10 tables meant to seat 30
people. Nearly all of the tables
were occupied by men and
women from all walks of life,
carrying on conversations and
chattering about this and that
between bites of food.
While perusing the menu,
the only woman working the
dining room brought out a tray
with warmed tortilla chips and
a mildly spiced bean dip with
a dusting of cotija cheese.
The service was a bit slow;
but seeing as how busy they
were the server was as prompt
as possible. According to
Blake Wyland, a customer
who has been going to Mitzil
since they opened, they gener­
ally are not that busy so each
customer gets more personal
attention. “Business comes in
spurts,” he said about the ser­
vice time.
“I enjoy [coming in] once a
.month,” said Wyland, because
he likes things with meat and
cheese.
The thing that struck me
most was that most of the items
were things that I was unfa­
miliar with such as mixtea­
do, a grilled com meal pouch
filled with meat arid cheese.
Mine was stuffed with barba­
coa which is a well seasoned
shredded beef, and topped
with lettuce, tomato, sliced
avocado and sour cream. The
flavor can only be described
as divine and unique. M
was washed down with
of limonada or limeadq

very reasonable for a
local café ranging iron
to $5.75 for appetizers!
to $10 for entrees.
