Judd’s formula for im­
provement. He said he is con­
tent with the basic mechanics of
the ASG system, currently run
by Mike McCarty.
“McCarty, has run the
student government really well,
said Judd. “In addition to
asking for more involvement
from senators, I wouldn’t make
many changes.”'
Another avenue for possible
According to Judd, a first-
year student who is currently
Associated Student Gover­
nment business manager, his
experience in the executive
cabinet will be one of the chief
factors in achieving that goal.

careful with our money, but not

“I will delegate work to get it
done. I’m concerned with
state, local and national issues
that affect the students. I want
to see that information getting
to them,” said Bennett.
To Bennett, student in­
volvement is vital. “I think
students should be able to im­
prove their education while
they’re here,” she said.
“My campaign is not ‘I will, I
will’, ” said Bennett, “through
delegation it will become, ‘we
will, we will’.”
Bill Judd
Long
term,
or
improvement, felt by Judd, in­
volves the influence of the
radical
student government on the
surrounding communities.
“I think that the ASG should
be reaching out into the com­
munity more,” he said. “I
would like to arouse more of an
interest in college activities and
send representatives to local
high schools.”
Business school and youth
ministry are the areas which
Judd hopes to pursue. He
plans to transfer to Eastern
Oregon State College, and
then spend three years at
Western Baptist Seminary.
Porter hopes for student carpooling
A
first-year
student,
presidential candidate Don
Porter served for four years as
a district representative for
Future Farmers of America at
Milwaukie High School, where
he was graduated in 1978.
Porter would like to start a
life in politics and thinks he has
a lot of good 'ideas for the
College if elected Associated
Student
Government
president.
One of Porter’s ideas is a
carpool’ system for College
commuters where those using
the system would be able to
purchase gasoline at dealers’
cost of about 58 cents per
gallon.
“North Clackamas School
District Nd. 12 has storage
tanks that could hold the
gasoline. I really think it would
be an incentive for enrollment
at the College. Right now it’s in
the planning stages, but it’s a
project I’ve been working on,”
Porter said.
Porter would also like to see
College students have more of
a say In the firing and hiring of
teachers at the College.
Although College personnel
practices regularly include
students on hirjng committees,
Porter maintains, “the doors
are locked to meetings where
those things are decided.”
“I think 10 student represen­
tatives should be chosen to at­
tend such meetings.” he said.
If elected ASG president.
Porter hopes to change the
“one-sidedness” he sees in
ASG this year.
I “There is not enough in­
volvement from other depar­
tments like agriculture and arts
in ASG. I think a committee is
needed to recruit senators from
every department to create an
equal balance in ASG next
year,” Porter said.
