unnoticed in
Pulitzer Prizes
Fellow Students,
By Doug Vaughan
Editor in Chief
We were snuffed, shafted and shutout. Somehow The
Print went unrecognized again in the annual Pulitzer Prizes
awarded Monday.
The majority of our competition rounded up a good
share of the rewards when the New York Times, Los Angeles
Times, Boston Globe and Wall Street Journal each won two
awards. What was left for us?
The committee did do one prominent thing. The man
who makes kids smile, Theodore Suess Geisel (a.k.a. Dr.
Suess), was awarded a special citation for his 44 children’s
books which have provided smiles, education and laughs for
nearly a half century.
William Kennedy’s book, “Ironwood,” which had been
rejected by 13 different publishing companies, won the
Pulitzer for novels. And I thought 13 was an unlucky
number.
Maybe we will hit it big next year.
Another organization on campus also is not getting a
whole lot of attention these days. The group that represents
each and every student on campus, the Associated Student
Government, only has two candidates for the upcoming
presidential and vice-presidential elections to be held the 25th
and 26th of this month.
The one presidential candidate and one vice presidential
candidate coincidentally are running on the same ticket.
Looks like the students won’t have the choice who will repre­
sent them next year.
There are worse things happening in this world than a
lack of willing students. How about the 15-year-old girl in
New Jersey who recently was convicted of robbing and
murdering a 64-year old disabled coal miner who was on a life
sustaining oxygen tank. And some people are worried about
cruelty to animals!
One thing we won’t have to worry about is the convicted
murderer. She received a 30-year, no parole sentence. A
penalty too lenient, considering she faced a sentence of life
plus forty years.
Once again, welcome
back to school! I hope you all
had a wonderful vacation.
Besides a welcome, I
would like to thank all of you
for a wonderful year and for
the prominent mark you have
helped make in my life. This is
the last open letter I will write
as Student Government Presi­
dent. It has been a true joy
working for you. I step out of
office on a positive note, con­
vinced that this great school is
headed in the right direction.
With your help and support,
we have made CCC a better
place for our posterity.
Looking back, in the past
year CCC has seen some very
significant progress through
student government. More
students than ever have saved
hundreds of dollars using the
ASG Book Exchange, thanks
to Kristi Scott, ASG ad­
ministrative assistant.
We have also contributed
more blood than ever to those
in need, and have made
students and the community
aware of several social, inter­
national and cultural issues of
importance, thanks to Nancy
Perman, ASG assistant to the
president.
Student Activities has
been exceptional and more
outreaching to more of a
cross-section of the student
body than ever before. Family
night movies, dances and the
dinner theater are just a few of
the many successes of the Ac­
tivities Council under Jeff
Smith, activities director.
With the direction of Vice­
bids farewell
President Linda Cox, student
government has meant more
to many more students, hun­
dreds of whom have registered
to vote. Linda has also seen
that our money is spent wisely
and managed well,
well.
Equally important to the
success of my administration
has been the devotion and
dedication of our ten wonder­
ful senators: Kay Brant, Deb­
bie Cayton, Shawnee Christ­
ensen, Denise Condon, Adam
jagelski, Karin Knutson, Jen­
ny Metzker and Allan Page.
Unfortunately, we lost Stacie
Schuster and Gary Moyer,
who were replaced by equally
capable Beth Wilder and Mary
Tar bet.
It’s been grand team work
of understanding, tolerance,
dedication, sometimes sad­
ness, and many fun times,
but most important, excep­
tional care for each other and
the welfare of the student
body.
Behind the scenes, but
certainly vital, and to whom
we are extremely grateful, are
our advisors Debbie Baker,
Dave Buckley and Secretary
Diana McKeiver.
I would like to extend a
warm invitation to all in­
terested students to take the
initiative to get involved and
continue with the grand work
of this year’s student govern­
ment. For information about
how to run or apply for office,
please contact the Student Ac­
tivities office or call extension

certainly had a positive impact
on my life and, I hope, on the
lives of many people. Bless
this school and keep it the
best!
Thank you,
John Sagoe
ASG President
