I Plans for the hostages’ flags
^■nd the election of two new
^Bnators dominated last week’s
^■SG meeting.
■ On the campus, as across
^■e rest of the nation, the
^■mancipation of the 52
^■mericans was uppermost in
^Be meeting’s schedule. Flags
^■ave flown since January,
^■980, at the bus stop plaza,
^■waiting the end of the Iranian
^Bisis. Problems arose earlier
^Bis month when the old, tat-
^Bred flags were replaced with
^Bsw ones.
■ Now, plans are underway to
^■ave a public presentation of
^Be flags to the ex-hostages,
^■oe Schweizer, ASG assistant
^B the president, announced a
^Bntative ceremony which will
^Bclude inviting at least one
^Brmer hostage, Governor Vic
^Btiyeh, and several mayors
^Bom the metro area.
■ “This is all still in the plann-
^Bg stage. Nothing is official
^Bt, we just don’t want to take
^Bown the flags, mail them, and
^Ben forget all about it,” said
Bchweizer.
■ The other top issue at the
BBeeting was the election of the
Bo new senators. Joe Bostick
^Bid Julie Lundy were elected
^B the senate by the members
^B the student government.
^Biere were no other can-
^Bdates.
■Lundy, who attended
Avera! ASG meetings last
^Brm, said she has no im-
^Bediate plans for her new posi
tion. “I don’t plan on any big
changes. I’d like to see what
the students want,” said Lun
dy. She is a Food Crop
Research major.
“I‘m interested in learning
the government process of the
student body. It fascinates me,”
sard Lundy.
The other new solon is Joe
Bostick. Among his plans,
Bostick would like to see the
formation of a campus talent
show. “There are a lot of peo
ple around here who have a
great deal-of talent in them. It’s
one way to get the Clackamas
student body involved,” said
Bostick.
The major concern of the
ASG, according to Bostick, is
to involve the students. “You
can have a student government
with all sorts of plans, but
without a student body involv
ed, you can’t get anything
done. You might as well not
have an ASG, in that case. I’ve
always been very interested in
student government, but I
never got involved before,”
said Bostick.
Bostick is a Law Enforce
ment major. “I want to be a
police officer, of course, but my
end goal is private investigation
or undercover work of some
sort. Something with a little
adventure in it,” he said.
Other topics discussed at last
Thursday’s meeting included a
new College flag. The concen
tric “C” pattern that is the
school’s emblem will adorn the
banner. It will hang beneath the
American flag in front of the
“Oh, my God! There’s a big
plate in my office!” speech
coach Frank (Guts) Harlow ex
claimed in mock surprise.
Then,
suddenly,
he
remembered. His speech team
had accomplished what the
Oakland Raiders haven’t even
dreamed of. The team clawed
their way to the top of the
podium as they took first place
at the Seattle Pacific University
Invitational, Friday and Satur
day.
Through the “fine effort” by
the team, another plaque (not
plague) sits in Harlow’s office in
Barlow Hall. How was it ac
complished? Ed Weishon
started the landslide by taking
first place in novice oratory.
Gayle Schmidt helped pile the
dirt oyer the other schools’
roads by yanking a second in
oratory.
Who else spoke well enough
to place second at the
12rschool invitational? Randy
Evans kicked heels well
enough to grab a second in
novice expository. Eric Etzel
and Karen Prouty were so ur
bane in their debate that, after
the dust had cleared, the pair
found themselves second from
the top. Their topic: Activism in
politics by religious organiza
tions is harmful to the public.
“We soundly beat them all',”
Harlow gleefully admitted.
Now Harlow dreams of future
struggles with opposing
schools. The next encounter
comes .Feb. 6-7 when the
speech team travels to
Willamette University in Salem
for the ultimate battle with 12
more junior colleges.
Harlow warned the upcom
ing opponents, “When they
mess with us, they mess with-
Oh, I need to sign something.”

machine in McLoughlin Hall
was presented to the student
government. The recommen
dation has been brought up at
several earlier meetings. A
representative
from
McLoughlin said that 80 per
cent of the faculty who work on
the second floor of that building
would like to see a coffee
machine installed. The ASG is
considering the request.
