Richard Deich of Parkrose, co-chairman of the East Side group, told the board that peo ple in East Multnomah county and adjoining areas of Clacka- mas and Hood River counties are looking for three things In a college. In response to questions from the board, Carroll Twedt of Cascade Locks and Jack Jen sen of Bonneville Indicated their areas favored an East Side district rather than inclusion in a Portland plan or the pro posed Mld-Columbia college at The Dalles. “It must be within reason- He pointed out that the pro able distance, It must be avail posed East Side district has able to local students, and it encountered almost no opposi must be responsive to local tion needs. Portland’s college plan,” Deich said, “falls com pletely to meet the first and Sergeant Chambers third requirements and would meet the second only so long as Assigned to Fresno space exists.” The Portland case was pre sented by B1U Wyse and R. W. DeWeese, board members. Wyse outlined Portland’s rea sons for proceeding with a new campus on Mt. Sylvania In the far southwest corner of the county and indicated that out side students would be free to an advisory council of citizens from throughout the area which attend with a tutltlon charge. He also discussed plans for would be delegated “consider able responsibility” for admin istration of the college.

(Post photo) Piercarlo Celebrates First Thanksgiving America’s Thanksgiving, complete with turkey and all the trimmings, was a new ex perience for 17 year-old Plercarlo Moretti, Sandy’s AFS student. "We have In my country no feast day to compare with It,” said Plercarlo, who hails from Turin, Italy. “I was glad for the Thanksgiving, as I have so much to be thankful for,” he added "the great opportunity I have in coming to America to study - the wonderful family I am lucky to live with- and the chance to know and become accustomed to the community and the young people here. I wish everyone could be so fortunate.” Life in Sandy, USA, has so far been one of change and challenge to the earnest high school senior whose under standable shyness at being In terviewed did not quite extin guish his natural warmth and good-natured smile. Plercarlo came to Sandy- populatlon 1264, from his native Turin, population - 1,250,000. There he lived in a city apart ment with his mother, father and older brother. Here he lives in the country In a sprawling ranch house on an 80 acre farm with the energetic Warren Harding family of four boys and one girl that range in age from 17 to 4 years. Surrounded by his American family as he talked, it was obvious that they had taken the Italian youth into I their hearts as well as their home, With a laughing glance at his American parents, Warren and Lois Harding, Piercarlo said it had not been hard to get used to the farm chores of bringing in wood and helping to care for 1*1 KK< AKIO MOKF I I I the horses, but he did exper ience some difficulty in getting used to the big country break fasts served in the Harding household. "In Italy,” he explained, “we eat very little until dinner at noon.” Other differences he has found between the two countries are that more time is spent on homework in Italian schools and that more subjects are studied, although they do not have dally classes in each subject. Nor is so much time spent on sports in Italy and what games they do play are on an Intramural basis. Piercarlo also thinks that the Italian student is more ad vanced in his studies than his American counterpart. But he thinks that the schools here are better equipped and was surprised to find laboratories available for science projects. They do not have them for high school students in Italy, he said and added “We don’t get a peek Into a microscope In high school at home, while your school has one for each three students.” He finds going to school with girls a very different and, to judge from the twinkle in his eye when he spoke of it, a somewhat distracting exper ience. “In Italy,” he said “boys do not go to school with the girls. Here, ” he marvelled, “the girls are as friendly as boys. At home we are not used to associate with the girls so freely. It is nice, I think.” At first he was quite sur prised also by the casual dress of girls on the street and ex plained that pants are not worn by nice girls in Italy. Piercarlo’s brother Gabriel, who was an AFS student four years ago, is now attending the California Institute of Techno logy on a scholarship. AFS regulations have prevented the brothers from seeing each other so far, but they are looking for ward to a reunion shortly after Christmas. He finds the climate here is not unlike that of his birth place. Sandy Is almost on the same latitude as Turin and they are used to a lot of rain there, too- “but with more sun in between.” Oregon fishing and hunting trips with the Harding menfolk and a family excursion to the Pendleton round-up have sur- prised him with the varied cli mate of the state and caused him to be enthusiastic about the changing and beautiful scenery. Plercarlo won his JV letter in football this year and is looking forward to baseball, "almost his favorite sport.” He is also anxious to try his skiing skill on the slopes of Mt. Hood. He Is an Italian Boy Scout and joins in the meetings of Sandy Explorer Post 192. He is a member of the highschool's AFS Club and the Key Club. A Roman Catholic, he attends St. Michael’s Church in Sandy. Asked if had been homesick for his parents he replied he had been too busy to be home sick but he supposed his parents missed him a little as they "were without sons at the mo ment.” The soft-spoken student plans to study economics at the Uni versity of Turin, but admits to a strong Interest in politics and found our recent election confusing but wonderful. In addition to keeping well up In his studies, it is Pier- carlo’s opinion that one of the first duties of an AFS student Is “working to present the best possible picture of one’s native land and people.” Certainly It would be difficult to find a bet ter or more likeable yixing am bassador than Piercaio Mor etti.
