I It's never too late j
We would like to urge any interested students to
£ take advantage of the next three days and turn in
petitions for their candidacy in government offi-
% cers.
S
Any student who feels they might be even a
£ little bit interested, is encouraged to make the ef-
:£ fort and try for office. Who knows, they just
£ might win. At the very least it would provide
some healthy competition for those already com-
£ mitted to run.
We feel that competition would generate more
$: interest in the student government elections and
§ thus more interest in student government itself,
Added competition would also cause those who
£ are unsure of their motives for seeking office to
£ examine themselves more closely and perhaps
make them reconsider a decision made, perhaps,
on the spur of the moment.
£
Students who feel that they aren't well known
£ enough or perhaps have never been involved in
£ student government before, should remember that
£ most student government leaders learn by doing
£ and have very little experience to begin with.
It is also not necessary to know everyone in
£ school to win an election. Last year, Mike Me-
Carty won his bid for ASG president by 76 votes.
£ It stands to reason that anyone who can get the
£ support of at least 76 people has a good chance of
£ being a part of next year's student government.
Any student who feels that they have leadership
£ and organizational skills, or who feels that they
£- have ideas and suggestions that would help student
£ government perform more efficiently should ser-
£ iously consider running in this year's elections.
After all, they might win and we might all bene-
g fit.

Advising process
revamped at LBCC
A
Qi x v 3
Tf
fa
Bob Talbott, director of Guid
ance Services, sees the problem
as one of implementing the ad
vising process rather than a pro
blem with the advising program
itself.
As Talbott puts it, "The sys
tem, as devised, is adequate. It
needs better publicity to students
and faculty.
It needs better
implementation at the division
level."
The recommendations made
by the two LBCC committees
seem to bear this out.
The committees, which are
made up of faculty and students
from various divisions on campus,
have jointly recommended that
names of specific advisers be
listed in the catalog and class
schedule

Editor's note: The following
is a reprint of an editorial that
appeared in the April 5 issue of
the Commuter,
Linn-Benton
Community
College's student
newspaper.
Students at LBCC will know
where to go for help in advising if
the recommendations made by
both the admissions and grade
standards committee and the in
structional affairs committee are
accepted.
The committees' decisions to
study the advising process came
about as a result of concern
(mainly about the instructor's
role in advising) expressed by
several members of a committee
from the Northwest Association
of Schools and Colleges evalua
ting LBCC in the fall of 1977.

Vote McCarty
To the Editor:
Those students who have con
sidered running for student gov
ernment offices but who, upon
further consideration, decided
that they didn't have the time or
energy to devote to the job
should consider voting for Mike
McCarty.
McCarty is a full-time busi
ness student with a full-time
job who has found the time and
energy to do an excellent job
as this year's ASG president and
he is coming back for more?
More what you say? More
trying to juggle homework a-
round endless committee meet
ings and more giving up several
weekends a month to attend
conferences and seminars that
help him serve students better.
Along with a job.and school,
Mike has done many things that
will benefit students at this in
stitution for many years to come.
He has arranged for a legal-aid
service for students that will
enable them to obtain legal ad
vice and ehlp without spending
a lot of money. He has set up
an inter-campus video informa
tion system to provide constant,
timely and accurate information
to students about things that are
happening on campus.
One of his more important
accomplishments is that of or
ganizing a student government

THEY SAY? x—'

PEDROf
that is more in touch with the
students needs and desires and
giving ASG senators the pro
fessional leadership needed to
accomplish things this year.
Mike has done all this this
year while still learning the skills
and techniques necessary to deal
with those in power in other
areas of the school and commun
ity. He is asking for a chance to
give students the benefit of this
knowledge and experience next
year.
