Eric Etzel wants unified image for ASG
By Tom Rhodes
Of The Print
t “Our main goal is to ensure a
professional, unified image
within the ASG and. the
College community,” Eric Et-
zel, newly elected ASG
president, said of the student
government’s; goals, for next
|ear. Creating a professional
and unified image is just one of
the many goals the ASG is
Striving for.
I “One of the things we would
like to do is establish and enfor­
ce
no
smoking
areas
throughout the campus,-” -Etzel
continued. “Not many pay at­
tention to the few posted
signs.” The plan is to secure
no-smoking areas in Clairmont
Hall, the Fireside Lounge and
in.the cafeteria.
“We also would like to.
develop a no-smoking clinic for
those who would like to quit,”
he added.
By June 1981, ASG hopes
to secure permission to serve
-alcoholic beverages at selected
events here at the College. The
ASG will research procedures
and determine the channels
required for approval. "
“We developed a philosphy
at the beach retreat,” Etzel
said. “The outgoing and in­
coming officers decided on,
‘ASG is an organization for
students to promote and
provide leadership, activities
and direction that reflect the
needs and ideas of the students
to develop responsibility,
maturity and aid in personal
growth.’ ”
At the beach retreat, the
ASG divided into two groups
and each came up with its own
philosophy on what student
government was and what it
can do.
“We are going to be very
busy next year,” Etzel com­
mented. “That is why I am
pushing as much promotion as
possible on the student officers
and assistants.” Five jobs are
currently open, including: ad­
ministrative assistant, assistant
to the president, student ac­
tivities director, art director,
subjects into the classroom, and media director.

College task force to
further energy education
An energy task force is in the
making at the College.
‘The task force, initiated by
College J President
John
iakanson, is geared toward
keeping the departments
iware of what each is doing in
inergy education,” according
o Chuck Scott, math/scien-
le/engineering division chair­
person.
'Scott, who conducted the
est meeting of the group last
Friday, said attendance was
low but much was accom­
plished.
“Economical ways to run the
College haven’t really been
discussed,” said Scott. y“We
want to establish com­
munication between the depar­
tments and seek ways we can
improve energy education for
the students and community.” h

“The main -purpose for this
job is to help me when I am
busy at a meeting or doing
something else.” Etzel ex­
plained further, “When I star­
ted in office, I immediately had
to do a great* deal of work.
-Today, for example, I have two
meetings at 3 p.m. that I have
to attend.” Etzel attended one
of the meetings and Neva
Barker, newly elected ASG
vice president, attended the
other.
The third position open is
student activities director. The
holder of this position will
coordinate all student-planned
activities. These include mini­
programs, speakers and can­
didate fairs. This officer will be
responsible for everything from
tickets to refreshments to clean­
up. “Why does Mt. Hood
Community College have to
get the President as a
speaker?” asked Etzel. As of
Monday, three had applied for
the post.

position) will plan posters and
other forms of artistic
promotion. The art director will
work with the art department.
So far, only one person has
