Sean Carlson was elected
Associated Student Govern­
ment vice president Tuesday at
a special ASG meeting. He will
take over the. job that was
vacated last month by Neva
Barker.
Running for the job were.
Cindy Langly, Joe Bostick,
Walt McCallister and Sean
Carlson, and voting was open
to all ASG members.
However', a nominating com­
mittee had already chosen
Carlson as its candidate, prior
to the election.
The committee consisted of
the ASG Executive Council
and Senate Representative
Paul Lemarr. This group inter­
viewed each of the nominees in
advance. ASG President Eric
Etzel explained that the
nominating
committee
members chose Carlson
because they felt he would
“mesh well” with the existing
Executive Council.
Said Etzel, “We felt that for
the Executive Council to work
with somebody, they’d have to
know him better than they
could from a two-minute
speech.”
Joe Schweizer, assistant to
the president, said, “We
assumed that, our nomination
would give Carlson an edge.
But it’s important that the
council works well together.”
The council is made up of
President Etzel, Assistant to the
President Schweizer, Business
Secretary Cindy Vetter, ASG
Secretary Cherlynn Clark,
Media Director Tom Simmons,
Administrative Assitant Don
Vitto, Activities Director Gail
Schmidt, and then--Art Direc­
tor Daryl Woods.
At the meeting, each of the
candidates was given two
minutes in which to explain
why he or she was running for
the office. Present at the
in ©¿ting were Carbon, Mc-

Callister and Bostick. Cindy
Langly did not attend.
McCallister and Bostick are
currently senators. In his im­
promptu speech, McCallister
said, “My goal would be con­
stitutional revisions, also get­
ting the clubs’ bookwork» up to
date. I’ll be working .Ju^t as
hard, if riot harder, than I am
now.” McCallister is a Life
Scout and has partaken in
“church activities.”
Bostic was informed in ad­
vance that Carlson was the
nominating committee’s
choice, and semed resigned to
their decision. “I’m happy with
my position now,” said
Bostick.
Each of the nominees was
informed in advance that the
committee favored Carlson’s
nomination.
Carlson’s goals* and plans
were outlined in his speech.
“The country as a whole is
moving towards a crux. As vice
president, I’d like to see the
feasibility of taking the owner­
ship of the bookstore out of the
hands of those who owfi it and
put it in the hands of a studnet
co-operative. There is no com­
petition now, so we can’t com­
pete for prices,” said Carlson.
When asked what prior
knowledge or experience he
had, Carlson said, “I was an
FFA officer and was active in
high school government. I also
went to Boy’s State.”
Carlson said that he has
various plans for his new posi­
tion. “I’d really like to get going
on the reduced fare idea for
Tri-Met. I‘d also like to see the
library opened on Saturdays,”
he said.
Carlson is active in the Col­
lege’s Theater Department. He
played the Gentleman Caller in
last tejrm’s production of The
Glass Menagerie and landed
the role of Dick Christie in the
current show, Play It Again,
Sam. His major is undeclared.
