On page three this issue, the candidates for business manager and secretary, both running unop posed, are subjects of inter views. ASG elections start April 22 and continue through the 24th. Of the three candidates run ning for prexy, Sam Crosby, a former All-Navy boxing cham pion and Vietnam War veteran, is the oldest at 40 years of age. “I have 20 years of leadership experience,” Crosby said. Because the average age of a student at the College is 26 years old, Crosby believes that many of the social activities should be aimed at a wider fn keeping with tradition, ■he Print” is devoting its en- tire front page to the three can- am Crosby spectrum. “I would like to see more activities for all ages and groups and a tighter monetary control over these activities,” he said. Crosby believes one of his biggest attributes is his ability to get along with people on a one- to-one basis. “I can get along with just about anyone, and, in fact, have gotten some people personally involved with ASG,” he said. “I feel I can establish a good rapport bet ween students and faculty/’ Crosby has been away from school for nearly 25 years and was living in Seattle when an instructor he knew invited him down to take a look at the pro grams offered at the College. He majors in business ad ministration. The former Navy man feels that money should be spread around better. “The money that we have as a student body could and should be distributed better. At times, we spent money unwisely.” He cited ac tivities that barely made money, if at all, and recom mended a better use of capital. Crosby sees ASG as a voice of the students at College board meetings. “The presi dent doesn’t have a vote at the Board meetings, but they will certainly listen to him.” After he leaves the College, Crosby would like to get into corporate management. “I was, half controlling owner of a cor poration when I came to the College,” he said. “I really think this is a great school,” Crosby said, “and we (ASG) can do almost anything we want, within reason, if we ap proach it correctly.” For 25 years, Crosby was constantly moving, from Viet nam to Seattle. Now, he would like to settle down, and relax. “I’ve moved all my life, and I just want to stay put,” he said.
