Ugandan students studying at Lewis and Each working man/woman in so ciety is in his/her own way contri buting to it and its present existence. There are some professions that are considered helping professions and are more visible to citizens because o f the nature o f the profession. There are not very many people who do not recognize the policeman or the fireman. We learn very early in our educational pursuit that persons in these occupations (policem an/fire) arc always avail able to help citizens when necessary. There are those o f us who feel that there is not enough financial com pensation awarded to these persons in these professions who risk their lives daily to “ help” someone else in time o f trouble. Our Black role model fo r this week, G ilbert Perry, is an active member o f the Fireman’s profession. He is a fireman for the City o f Port land, Fire Department, Engine 25, located at 5211 S.E. Maul. He holds the status o f Fireman 2. A native o f Beaumont, Texas, Perry and the rest o f the family of seven migrated into Portland at the age of seven. His alma mater is Grant High School. After graduation he joined and spent tw o years in the U.S. Marine Corps. One cannot refuse to respect any one who was a soldier of any war. With the above statement being true, we must doubly respect Perry for he was not only a soldier in the Vietnam War but also received a “ Purple Heart” for heroic action. Upon his return to the states, he became an employee o f Northwest A irlin e s as an E quipm ent Ser- Clark College greet Bishop Feato Kivengers during his Portland visit. (Photo: Lance Brown) Scholarship program aids Ugandan students by Kathryn H. Bogle The day was the Sunday after Easter, the place »as T rin ity Episco pal Church in Portland. It was also a happy occasion for three Lewis and Clark college students — all from Uganda. The young men for a couple o f days o f this week, which had been filled with religious celebration, were now being reunited w ith a good friend from their homeland. Their friend was the distinguished Rt. Reverend Festo Kivengere, Bishop o f Uganda, here in Portland on a preaching mission for the Epis copal Diocese o f Oregon. This day the Bishop would be the preacher at T rin ity at a diocesan celebration winding up his mission commitments. His own return to Uganda would be within hours. Questions, some posi tive answers and mutual hopes were exchanged and shared and savored. The three young men, John M ukalazi-K am ya, Nelson O kello and Matthew Mukhwana are enroll ed in the school o f Business and Ad m inistrative Studies at Lewis and Clark. They began their studies last fall in a scholarship program devised by Bishop Festo called “ RETURN.” In RETURN (Relief, Education, and T ra in in g fo r Uganda Refugees Now), a church parish contributes a percentage o f the students’ expenses at college and the college itself makes its own contribution. John M ukalazi-K am ya comes from Kampala, the capitol city o f Uganda, which, a fortnight ago. was liberated by Tanzanian military forces from the dehumanizing power grasp o f Idi Amin. John was able to catch up with first hand good news o f his Kampala fam ily and friends from Howling Gael at Euphoria, a benefit for the Community School, w ill be held Sunday, May 6th, from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. at the Euphoria Tavern, 315 S.E. 3rd.

From Alaska, he returned to Port land, became interested in becoming a fireman and started preparing him self to meet the necessary qualifica tions. In preparation he took basic college courses at Portland Com munity College and enrolled in a fire fighters’ training program that was being held at the Killingsworth Fire S ta tio n . This tra in in g involved special courses relating to the Civil Service exam. An exam that is neces sary to pass in order to become a fireman. Pass it, he did. Out o f the 520 who took the exam, he scored highest. W tih this score the Fire De partment immediately hired him and he has for the past five years been an active and excellent fireman.

GILBERT PERRY mic zest for life and all that he can humanly get from it for personal growth and enjoyment. He shares this with his wife and very soon a son or daughter. He has this to say re garding being successful in any career: “ Determination, hard work and a positive attitude are three qualities I feel a person should possess in order to succeed in any area o f life. “ There are many careers open for interested people that does not require a college education, especially in civil service. The main factor involved is for one to set goals for him/herself at an early age and work hard at obtaining those goals. "A s for those interested in being a firefighter, there are college courses offered to prepare you for this occu pation. I f these courses are taken, one may enter the fireman's force with a status 1, 2 or 3 rating, depend ing on the number o f courses taken." Fun is fun. Everyone loves to have it. After the fire burns out there is still a future staring you in the face. You can lose many productive years having fun. The type o f fun depends on the type o f fun you can afford. My grandmother’ s famous last word was “ you can tell the men from theA boys by their toys.” Get secure in a job, work hard and don't forget the three qualities necessary for success; determ ination, hard work and a positive attitude. U ntil next week remember: Each o f us has a purpose and a small part o f that purpose is to know what that purpose is, the rest is performance. We guarantee tomorrow today.
