Thur».. Sept. 11, 1975 (Sec. 1) SANDY (Or
N icknam e suits new student at Sandy High
Fellow classmates and teachers at
Sandy High School will find life easier
calling Angelica Del V. Vega Perea: by her
nickname
Bunny (pronounced Booney), after all,
seems a more appropriate and informal
way to address the friendly, brown-eyed,
17-year-olf
foreign
exchange
student from San Juan, Argentina
There's still a catch Miss Perez docs not
speak fluent English Nonetheless, she
shows an unabashed ability to com
municate.
The language lag for this aspiring young
medical doctor shouldn't be too big a
problem ( Bunny hopes to follow in an older
sisters footsteps and become an ob
stetrician).
She says she applied for the AFS
program to learn the customs and ideas
of another culture And, fluent English or
not, that's probably just what she'll do
Bunny s already enrolled in English,
music, modem problems, German, typing
and is looking forward to singing in the
school choir.
The new Oregonian is spending the year
with the Henry Whitlock family on their
peaceful (» a c re spread bordering the
Sandy River off TenEyck Road
The Whitlock's also have a daugter
d a u u lc r
Bunny's age, Louise, who is spending a
yeur in Brazil as a foreign exchange
student ' That makes the transplanting a
little easier for all of us here," Mrs
Whitlock says with a smile
“ So far, Bunny agrees with the food, but
I can't make it with the coffee," admits the
amiable housewife with the same grin.
"M as fuerte"—stronger That's how
Bunny puts her verbal finger on the dif
ference between American and the darker
black Argentine coffee.
Besides watered down Java, the visiting
AFS student has also had to adjust from a
South American diet of four meals a day to
our three.
When you live in San Juan it’s breakfast
at6:30a rn , lunch around noon, dinnerat7
p m., and another dinner is digested about
10 p m
According to Bunny, a typical late night
meal might be parilladas- broiled beef,
sausage and kidneys
Beef, grapes and apples are the main
exports where Bunny lives, terrain she
describes as very high and dry with
"muchas montanas."
San Juan, she says, is about the same
size as Portland
A couple weeks ago she and the
Whitlocks travelled to the coast It was the
firs, time Bunny had ever seen the ocean.
Unfortunately, it was also the first time
she had seen so much rain

Our seasons are something of a novelty
for the new Sandy high senior.
In Argentina, where precipitation is as
rare as poor coffee, spring starts next
week and summer begins in November
June 21 marks the beginning of winter and
fall comes in March.
Here in Sandy this fall, Pioneer football
will be another first for Bunny Back home
they play rugby
Gas prices were also an awakening for
the temporary Sandyite In Argentina,
people pay the equivalent of almost «4 for a
gallon of gas
Roads here are much better too, Bunny
explains in a half Spanish, half English
dialogue It seems that, compared to her
home turf, we have been blessed with
fewer ruts on our public highways.
But, don', get the wrong impression
Bunny quickly points out that San Juan has
m any lib ra rie s , schools, museums,
magazines, newspapers and also night
clubs.
Our television habit is nothing new for
Sandy's exchange student either She said
that A m e ric an television program s
comprise most of the Argentina tube
scheduling
Chances are Bunny won', have too much
time for television, though
She's going to be too busy adjusting to
her new environment and learning the
customs and ideas of many, many new
friends

Former state senator Don
Willner, 49. has announced his
candidacy for the Democratic
nomination as attorney general
of Oregon.
Willner emphasized the role
of the Attorney General as “ the
people's law yer” w ith an
obligation
,o
"en fo rce
vigorously those laws vital to
the well-being of our citizens
and state."
Specifically mentioning laws
relating to consumer protec
tion. natural resources and
unfair business practices, the
long-time state legislator and
attorney pointed out tha, he
wrote or helped write many of
those laws.
“ I want to see them work,"
be said
Willner identified two other
key functions of the attorney
general — one as legal counsel
to state government, one as
advocate of each individual
citizen's right to equal justice.
He said the attorney general
“ must be the people's wat
chdog insuring that state
bureaucrats observe the law as
all citizens should The at

major role in assuring the fair

Heal, who said the Port's decision was
not politically influenced, does no, feel the
FAA money was wasted.
" I don't feel the $25,000 has been
wasted," he said. "We got very good
response from the people at our meetings
and our study helped bring to light some of
the problems that exist. It opened up areas
that, up until now, have been more or less
