Election Day
April 28
Dana Dumolt, ASG senator,
has declared his candidacy for
the position of ASG President
for the 1987-88 school term.
What made Dumolt decide to
run?
“The advisors asked me
about it. I wasn’t really aware
of it (the opening), but about
two months ago, Debbie Baker
approached me about it and I
thought it was worth a try. The
main reason I joined (ASG) was
I wanted to see what I could do
about helping the college and
the students, and I’m still look
ing forward to seeing how I can
help.
i
“I’m sure I’ll be able to han
dle the position with the ex-
popular here,” Dumolt claims, “
they are down to nil (attendance)
and I’d like to come up with a
way of promoting them and mak
ing them more attractive so
students will want to come to the
dances.”
The big issue this year is finan
cial aid and Dumolt’s opinion is
“I support keeping the financial
aid, right now we are running
petitions and letters to the
government but basically what
they are working on is federal
level (lobbying) and right now I
think that’s a little too high for
us. The state level is more our
area, it is more accessible to us.”
On thè issue of counselor com

perience I have,” Dumolt
stated. Dumolt’s experience in
cludes two years as youth chair
man for The Grange (an
agricultural organization) and
one term as a senator at
Clackamas.
What is the role of ASG presi
dent', according to Dumolt?
“Basically, the president is the
connection between the students
and the Board of Presidents. It’s
connection that informs the
Board how students feel about
issues and what they would like
changed.”
Dumolt has several goals for
his presidency. The first is “to
promote unity in the students
because right now I see a lot of
people in their own groups, such,
as athletics, theatrics, and what
not, and I’d like to see them in
termingle and support each other
(and the school).”
Another issue Dumolt would
act on is dances. “Dances are not

stated that in his personal ex
perience with the counselors

that.”
Dumolt
says
that
characteristics that make him
right for the job are, “I’m easy to
get along with. The only thing I
see wrong with our ASG now is
working together; they’re too
separated in the officer level,
there’s too much disagreement.
The idea is to weigh one side
from the other and come up with
an agreeable compromise.”
About his campaign, Dumolt
explained “Well I’m. basically
running with Becky Hostetler.
• She is the only vice president
candidate we have right now
and we’re working as a team to
get us elected.”
The party begins.
