Students receive "foster families"

T W A S " S tu d e n t Assignment
D ay” at the University o f P ort
land on Sunday. N o , the students
were not receiving assignments to
study out o f books, they were re
ceiving fam ilies to call their own
while they are far away from their
real homes. Families and students
met at a hearty luncheon in the Ter
race
Room
in
the
campus
Commons.
Vernon C h atm an , a certain fix
ture on the PU campus, handed out
the assignments to three young
women, M a ry S trayhand, Angela
Berry and Alisa Spears. Nine mem
bers o f the campus basketball team
who also received foster fam ilies
were: Greg H o lt, B rian Beard,
Dwayne C o rb e tt, W arren Graves,
Fred H arris, Dennis B lack, Kevin
W illiam s, Brian Jenkins and A n
thony Davis.
This was the 10th year that the
" F a m ily Away From H o m e " p ro
ject families have been paired and
singled out for recognition for their
participation in the program. Chat
man, assisted by Judge H .J . Belton
Hamilton, handed out 15 plaques to
such families in appreciation. Spe
cial awards went to M r. and M rs.
Wilson W alker, M r. and Mrs. Jerry
Fuller, M r. & M rs. Kenneth A dair
and M r. and Mrs. Joseph Bowman.

C aw th o rn e,
principal
speaker after luncheon, spoke mov
ingly o f the deep spiritual side and
value o f the extended black family.
D r. Harold W'esby, vice president
for Administration at P U , was also
a speaker during the afternoon pro
gram.
Latins seek economic independence
The U.S. participation with Great
B ritain in the M alv in a s war has
brought about a growing attempt in
Latin America to submerge national
differences in favor o f continental
solidarity. Among the topics o f dis
cussion is a reorganization o f the
Organization o f American States to
remove the U n ited States and
changes in the In te r-A m e ric a n
Treaty o f Reciprocal Assistance.
The United States not only sup
ported G reat B ritain in the war
against its ally, Argentina, but pro
vided intelligence, supplies, bases,
and info rm atio n on weaknesses o f
equipm ent it had earlier supplied
Argentina.
The Latin American nations are
remembering the words o f Simon
Bolivar, who, nearly 200 years ago,
advocated a political, economic and
social union o f the Latin American
and the C arib bean nations to de
velop their own freedom, democra
cy, sovereignty and independence
from the United States and the Eu
ropean c o lo n ial powers. B o livar
warned that " T h e U n ited States
seems destined to plague our people
w ith misery in the name o f free
dom .”
Venezuelan Ambassador Hilarion
C ard o za , head o f the Perm anent
Council of the Organization of A m
erican States, has urged the nations
o f Latin America to work out a stra
tegy to achieve "genuine indepen-

dence with a single voice and mean
ingful solidarity on basic issues."
" T h e M alvinas issue has caused
an upheaval which obliges us to
question and review the whole inter-
A m erican s ys te m ," he said. He
asked the Latin American nations to
stop being "id eo lo g ical, political,
economic or military colonies.”
The ministerial meeting o f the 8th
Council o f the Latin American Eco
nomic System (S E L A ) ended its
meetings in Caracas, Venezuela, on
August 28th with adoption o f some
o f the most im p o rtan t decisions
since its establishment in 1975.
Venezuelan President Luis H e r
rera Campins called for the estab
lishment of a system o f consultation
and coordination for Latin A m eri
can on the p o litic a l level. O A S
would then serve only as a forum
for dialogue between Latin America
and the U.S. He warned that the La
tin A m erican nations must im p le
ment collective economic defense in
the face o f illegal and arbitrary pres
sure and take steps to decrease vul
nerability to foreign pressure espe
cially in the key economic sectors
such as food and cap ital goods.
" W e cannot accept an unequal or
unjust relationship which puts us in
a subordinated role in our time, in
which it seems colonialism strives to
repeat the past.
For the first tim e the C ouncil
dealt with economic and military in
terference in the internal affairs o f
Latin American nations.
Resolutions adopted by S E L A
are:
1) To a ffirm every nation’s right
to opt for its own economic, social
and political system in a climate o f
peace and lib erty, free o f foreign
pressure, aggression and threats.
2) To express its solidarity w ith
those against whom coercive eco
nomic measures have been or are be
ing applied, in violation o f norms
and practices o f in tern ation al law
and detrimental to their sovereignty
and economic security.
3) To condemn the imposition o f
and demand the liftin g o f the eco
nomic embargo and blockade, the
freezing o f funds, the suspension o f
credits and other coercive, illegal
and a rb itra ry economic measures
put into effect against a number of
developing countries to undermine
and impede the full exercise o f na
tional sovereignty that each one has
opted for through the sovereign de
cision o f their resective peoples and
governments.
4) To defend the Latin American
principles in all in tern atio n al fo r
ums and to develop a firm action
that will result in the international
com m unity’s refusal to accept the
im position o f coercive economic
measures in view o f their illegal and
arbitrary character.
" T h e technical curricu lum at
Portland Community College is ab
solutely excellent— especially soft
ware," says Patricia Baker o f Intel
Corporation’s Hillsboro Plant. " I ’d
venture to say it’s one o f the best in
the country."
As employee relations specialist
for systems operations at Intel, Bak
er was recently promoted from site
training supervisor for In tel’s coop
erative education program, a large
recruiting and train in g program
form ulated by In tel and Po rtlan d
Community College.
" P C C was the most accessible fa
cility for our area and the Sylvania
Campus has all the support we need
ed in terms o f peripheral subjects
and fa c ilitie s ," says B aker. P C C
was approached by Intel in 1978. In
June, 1979, the first 22 P C C stu
dents entered the cooperative p ro
gram.
Electronic Engineering Techno
logy (E E T ) and Computer Software
Technology (CST) are the two asso
ciate degree programs most allied
with In te l’s technician needs. The
EE T program is aimed at the manu
facturing sector o f the electronics
industry. Its curricu lum includes
strong emphasis in digital and m i
crocom puter technology, m ajo r
course sequences in linear and com
munications systems and supporting
laboratories that give students
hands-on experience in te use o f in
dustry-standard test instrum ents,
logic analyzers, microcomputer sys
tems and m icrocomputer develop
ment systems.
The C ST program is a jo in t pro
gram between the electronics and
date processing departments. Tech
nicians learn a combination o f soft
ware development skills and hard
ware skills needed to write control
and applications software for m i
croprocessor based products.
Since the co-op program began,
110 students have p artic ip a te d .

PC C electronics engineering tech
nology instructor David Hata served
as liaison between the college and
In te l in m akin g the program .
“ W e’ve had a very positive relation

Students are recruited both from
within and outside Intel. Those not
previously employed by the firm are
interviewed after successfully com
pleting the first three terms o f either
the E E T or CST program.
Internal co-op students, those al
ready employed by Intel, must com
plete intermediate algebra and either
basic electric circuits or resistive cir
cuits, depending on th e ir area o f
study.
In either case, the co-op student
works 20 hours per week fo r Intel
on a paid basis and enrolls in 12 aca

ent attends school h a lf days and
works half days. A n additional six
credits per term are awarded for the
student’ s work experience and stu
dents receive full company benefits.

Joel Martin had a dream.
It's Anheuser-Busch's
dream, too.
In 1972, Joel Martin started her own ad
agency in upstate New York. At the time,
she had no billings. No accounts. No bank
loan. And only one employee: Joel Martin.
Je told her she wasn't going to make it.
if she didn't believe in herself, she
Ns would have agreed But dreamers
Martin don't see the negative side.
Only the positive. Plus she had sometJting
else going for her. She was good. Good
enough to have been the first Wack woman
art director in New York City.
Today, her ad agency is on Madison
nue With a lot more employees, And a
lot more accounts. Like Black Enter

Magazine. The U.S. Army. A new Black
cable network. The New York Urban
League. And AnheuserBusch
Hiring concerns like Joel Martin's is
part of our commitment towards making
the future one we can all be proud of. A
future where dreamers like Joel Martin can
see their dreams fulfilled.
