Nastari reflects back on presidential ASG term By Buck Jennings Of The Print With the 1982-83 academic year coming to a close, Paul Nastari reflected on how his year as Associated Stu dent Government president went. “All in all it’s been a pret ty good year,” Nastari said. “It’s a big job and I feel I did a fair job. Although I didn’t do all that I could have, everything went real smoothly for me.” One of Nastari’s biggest concerns as ASG president was keeping the number of elected student officers in office. “My main concern was to make sure there wasn’t a high turnover rate of student government of ficers,” Nastari said. “We (ASG) had elected officers leaving halfway through their terms. My goal was to get this under control and keep things running smoothly.” Last year ASG had 29 of ficers and senators. This com ing year there will only be 15 officers and senators. Nastari commented on this change by saying, “We (ASG) won’t need as many officers and senators next year because they have been assigned to specific com mittees. Before the officers and senators were on so many dif ferent committees, it took twice as many to get the job done. Now with each officer assigned to a specific committee, it will only take half the people to run the committees.” Nastari’s second goal was to get school clubs more active. “I wanted to get more par ticipation from the clubs offered here at Clackamas Community College,” Nastari said. “There was some difficulty in doing this because people involved in the clubs would just disappear at the end of a term never to be heard from again.” Although getting participa tion from clubs was a little tough, Nastari was able to create two new committees for the current list. “The two new committees introduced were the Blood Drive Committee and the Food Drive Commit tee,” Nastari said. “Consider ing the last blood drive took place in the middle of flu season, it was highly suc cessful. I was pleased with the progress of both committees.” With spring term coming to a close, so is Paul Nastari’s term as ASG president. Nastari will be succeeded by President elect John Sagoe. ‘Great’ year pleases Schaller By J. Dana Haynes Of The Print Paul Nastari Photo by Duane Hiersche ASG finds solution for club financing problem One problem College clubs always face is how to rasie money. This year, the Associated Student Govern ment has a solution. Linda Cox, next year’s ASG Vice President, announc ed that space for booths will be made available at the annual school picnic and Timber Festival. The picnic is schedul ed for Friday, June 3, with the Timber Festival on Saturday, June 4. Both events will be held on campus. Booths will be made available to the College’s clubs, Cox said. She suggested clubs could raise money by selling food or crafts. Although the two events are a month away, Cox said in terested persons should contact her “the sooner the better” to assure a booth. Cox can be reached at the ASG office in the Community Center, ext. 245. CCC STUDENTS These specials are for you on ly. Please show copy of this ad and your student body card for these prices.

Schaller, 23, looks back on his reign as a positive thing. “This year was great,” he said. “It was a fun year, and we got a lot accomplished.” It may have been a fun year, but it was not an easy one for Schaller. He has cerebral palsy, and when he was elected into office last year some people felt the handicap would make it impossible for him to do the job of vice presi dent. Schaller disagreed then, and disagrees now. “The cerebral palsy hasn’t been a real factor,” he said. In fact, Schaller looks at the handicap from a highly pragmatic point of view. “I’m easy to pick out in a crowd,” he said. “I’m always easily visible, and I don’t think that’s a deficit.” From the College, Schaller would like to move on to Portland State University, where he will major in psychology. His focus here has been in special education, although Schaller said, “I’ve felt my way all around the Human Services curriculum.” If he continues his educa tion at Portland State, Schaller said he would continue to be politically active. The outgoing Vice Presi dent cited the recent elections and the ASG book exchange as highlights of the year. “We finally got the book exchange off the ground, and it went quite well,” he said. The ASG elections took a great deal of his time, Schaller explained, because he was chairperson of the elections committee. “I’m really happy with the outcome (of the elections),” he said. The student body elected Linda Cox to replace Schaller, and John Sagoe to replace Paul Nastari as ASG President. When asked if he had any advice for Vice President-elect Linda Cox, Schaller said, “Be patient with the clubs, and don’t get frustrated.” Series of seminars investigates ‘Dream’ (Continued from page 1 about 16 people, and have been made up of students, staff and faculty members, as well as citizens from the surrounding communities. There is another connec tion between the nuclear con vocations and Kutz’s series. “We do live in a nuclear age. When we look at the American Dream, we see a political issue as well as the social issues,” Kutz said. Part of the focus in the seminars has been toward in teraction of the psychological, social, political and economic sides of the issues, Kutz said. “You have to look at economics as not just a dollars and cents thing. (Economics) is a cultural issue,” he added. “When you have a society where people think of (resources) as infinite, everyone’s dreams can be ac complished, or at least attemp ted. But when everyone realizes we have finite resources, you have to ask ‘who’s dreams will be realized, and who’s will not’.” So far, Kutz has been very pleased with the American Dream sessions, and he en courages anyone, whether or not they work or attend classes at the College, to participate. The sessions are free. For fur ther information, interested persons should contact Kutz at ext. 414. Wednesday May 4, 1983
