were Joe Schweizer and Walt
McAllister. “I Wish the best of
luck to Sam,” said Schweizer.
McAllister is the suggested
appointee to the job of assistant
to the president. “Being part of
Sam’s administration, I’m quite
pleased with the way the elec
tions turned out,” McAllister
said.
“I’d like to thank all the peo
ple who supported me,” said
Crosby, “I’ll try to do my best.”
Crosby admitted to being
disappointed by “the poor
number of people voting.” A
total of 374 voters turned out
to the polls last week. It was a
record high.
Said Crosby, “If there are
any problems, I’ve got an open
door policy.”
------ Ryan V.P.—----
Enthusiasm was the platform
and the punch in Susy Ryan’s
successful campaign for ASG
vice president.
.“I have a lot of energy and
enthusiasm and I’m willing to
apply it,” Ryan said. She plans
to devote more time to the
ASG office than past vice
presidents. Her goals are to be
available to talk with students
and to assist in ASG matters.
Ryan had twice the number
of votes as her closest com
petitor. Ryan had 218 votes,
Kevin Kelton, 95, and Mike
Clanton, 54. Hard work and
innovative tactics were respon
sible for the victory, according
to Ryan.
Ryan campaigned vigorously
until the last minute. “Five
minutes before the election was
over, I went through the
cafeteria and encouraged peo
ple to vote for me,” Ryan said.
“When I was worried that I was
going to lose, I would run
home and make 10 or 11 cam
paign posters.”
Publicity, not profit, was the
objective of Ryan’s bake sales.
Ryan is the first candidate at
the College to have fund
raising events. “The bake sale
gave me a chance to talk with
people,” Ryan said.

tion, must pass a 50-hour pro
gram at OSU on how to teach
someone how to ride a cycle
correctly. This includes braking
correctly, balancing the
machine while driving into a
comer, quick lane changing,
highway placements and
counter-steering. All of these
are taught in the beginning
course, which starts May 1 and
travels through the 6th.
For the $98 fee, the student
will get the use of a cycle, new
helmets, eye protection, and
the textbook the class will use
during the nine" hours of
classroom time. “We could on
ly get 10 bikes for the 10 to 12
hours of bike training, so we
can only have 10 students,”
Galloway said. “But we try our
best to have a variety of
machines.”
The second course for more
experienced students begins on
May 16 and ends May 17. The
second course, for those with
6,000 miles or more ex
perience, will investigate more
safety exercises. Unlike the
beginners’ course, this one re
quires students to furnish their
own cycles.
The class starts at 9 a.m. and
ends at 4 p.m. on both days.

Sam Crosby

Ryan and newly elected
ASG President -Sam Crosby
know each other well and are
neighbors. “I have confidence
in Sam. We will make a good
combination,” Ryan said. “We
will have the opportunity to talk
things over often.”
“It’s important to remember
that college is not just for peo
ple straight outtrf highschool,”
Ryan said. “My whole family
has attended Clackamas, so I
have gotten a wide spectrum of
opinions on the College from
different age grops.”
Voter turnout was the largest
it has been in several years.
Still, less than 10 percent of the
student body voted. Ryan
believes that apathy is common
in ali college populations. Col
lege students do not realize the
power of student government,
according to Ryan.
“Bèfore I became involved in
student government, I used to
think that it was just a bunch of
clowns,” Ryan said. According
to Ryan, ASG influence has
changed administration policy.
Ryan said that ASG pressure
was responsible for the installa
tion of a covered bus stop.
Ryan is now directly involv
ed with a committee that is try
ing to get Tri-Met buses to
make st ops, at Clairmont Hall
and the Art center at night.
“Anyone, especially a female,
knows what a bummer it is to
get off the bus and have to walk
a half a mile in the rain and the
dark. It’s a pain in the butt.”
“I think the free ice cream
was a good idea,” Ryan said
about the award dished out by
the ASG to encourage students
to vote. “It was a great incen
tive.”
Ryan said she is looking for
ward to being in chargé of next
year’s senate election. “I’m go
ing to make sure they don’t get
screwed up like this years
senate election,” Ryan said.
Ryan was subjected to pro
blems caused by errors in this
year’s senate election.
