w
ASG requisites stiffened
By Amy LaBare
Of The Print
Students will be voting on
constitutional revisions along
with student body president
and vice president on April 25
and 26.
An Associated Student
Government (ASG) committee
has proposed some revisions in
the current constitution to
make it more concise, Debbie
Cayton, committee chairper
son said.
The proposed grade re
quirements change for ASG
officers, which currently is a
term GPA of 2.0 would be
raised to 2.5. Senators must
maintain a 2.0 GPA.
Officers will also be re
quired to carry a minimum of
eight credit hours a term, up
from the current six.
ASG also wants to add a
section to the constitution that
will provide a way to replace
ASG members who must
vacate their office before their
term ends. This addition
would allow the assistant to
the president, an appointed
position, to fill the seat of
president if the president and
vice president positions are
both vacant. Other vacancies
would be filled through a
selection process.
Revisions of the by-laws,
which do not require student
body approval, but will not go
into effect unless the constitu
tional changes are developed,
will provide a way to form the
selection committee for ASG
vacancies. A nominations
board made up of the ASG ad
visor, the ASG president, one
senator from the open position
and two students-at-large
from the college will nominate
students for the open position.
The two students-at-large will
be selected by a faculty
member. The nominations of
the board will be voted on by
ASG members.
The by-law revision also in
cludes a repeals process for
ASG members who fail to
meet the requirements stated
in the constitution. The pro
posed revision states “If an
official fails to meet the re
quirement, he/she will need to
complete the requirements the
next term plus make up those
credits not completed the term
before.” In order to appeal,
an ASG member must have
completed at least three credit
hours.
An official who wishes to
appeal must submit a written
appeal within three days after
beginning of the next term to
one of the ASG advisors.
An appeals board, which in
cludes an ASG ad^js.Qr, two
ASG senators, one ASG of
ficer and one counselor, will
review the appeal. The official
filing the appeal must also ap-

pear before the board.
Currently there is no ap-
peals procedure in the by-laws.
The by-laws do provide for a
three-week period of leniency
under extreme circumstances.
The last addition to the by
laws includes a statement that
no employee of Clackamas
Community College shall be
allowed to run for or hold any
student body office.
The revision committee was
formed when ASG members
were left with no guidelines for
selecting new officers after the
resignation of former ASG
president Jenny Metzker last
January.
When Metzker resigned
Shawneee Christensen moved
up from her vice presidential
post to head ASG, and in do
ing so left the vice president
position open. When ASG
members went to consult the
constitution on filling the va
cant seat, they found no help,
Cayton said.
Cayton said she hopes these
revisions will make it easier on
future ASG cabinets to replace
members who may leave.
Cayton also added the com
mittee is still working on other
changes in the by-laws dealing
with clubs. She said these
changes will be enacted before
May.
Voting will take place at the
Student Activities Office when
new officers are elected.
