ASG meeting introduces officers
The Associated Student
Government meeting that took
place last Thursday, Oct. 7,
concentrated on three subjects.
One was on the blood
drive, taking place Friday, Oct.
15 in the Community Center
from 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Last
year, 273 total units (pints) of
blood were collected in the
three blood drives. One was
held each term. This year’s
goal is to collect 485 units of
blood, if three drives are
scheduled. Giving blood only
takes six to 10 minutes and
may save up to three lives per
unit, Red Cross Representative
Dennis Donin explained. If
anyone would like to donate,
he or she should sign up in the
ASG office. There will also be
announcements made in
classes.
In further business,
Oregon City Public School
Superintendent Chuck Clem
mons discussed his views of
Proposition 3. Students who
wish to vote can register in the
Student Activities Office.
On Oct. 18 at noon, there
will be a Candidates’ Fair,
where candidates for public of
fice will be giving their views on
the upcoming election.
Dean of Students Jim
Roberts discussed getting
students involved in college ac
tivities. The Student Activities
Office has brochures on ac
tivities going on on-campus.

Politics hits Clackamas
Community College on Mon
day Oct. 18, as the College
hosts a Candidates’ Fair.
The dual purpose of the
fair is to allow candidates for
public offices a chance to speak
and to help the College’s
students become better inform
ed about the upcoming elec
tion. The fair has been held the
past seven years and has been
quite successful in recruiting
candidates, due to “the
College’s reputation of being
concerned,” Associated Stu
dent Government Activity
Director Stephen Vohs said.
Several candidates have
been invited to this year’s fair,
including candidates for Con
gress Ruth McFarland and
Denny Smith, candidates for
state Senate Walter Brown,
Larry Burniqut, Joyce Cohen,
Dick
Smelser,
Steve
Stainkowitch and Joe Davis,
CASH
FOR
and candidates for Governor,
Ted Kulongoski and Victor
Atiyeh. It is hoped that the ma
jority of these candidates will
accept the invitation.
Vohs feels the fair will
have an impact on the “voting
feelings” of the College’s
students in November. “A
good kick in the pants is what
students need to start voting,”
Vohs said. “Students need to
listen to these candidates, read
literature and just become in
formed. I feel the Candidates
Fair will meet part of this
reponsibility.”
The Candidates Fair will
be advertised in the “Today”,
“The Print”, “The Oregonian”,
“Enterprise Courier”, and
hopefully on television. There
is a chance that a television
crew may be on hand during
the fair. Students are urged to
attend. People of the com
munity and others interested
are also invited.
