Today and tomorrow the election of the student
senate will be taking place.
There are 15 positions to be filled and 22 candidates.
Last year there were 15 positions and 15 candidates» a
situation which Assistant to the ASG President Jerry
Bellavita said "was kind of a joke."
This year's election will be no less a joke than last
year's election.
It seems ironic that Bellavita made the "joke" com
ment during what had to be the biggest joke of this
year's election -- the Student Senate Forum.
The forum was held to give the senate candidates a
chance to relate their qualifications and aspirations to
the student body as well as give the student body a
chance to ask questions of the candidates. We hope that
the dozen or so students who paid attention to the pro-
cedings got something out of the forum.
There was almost as little participation shown on the
part of the candidates at the forum.. Only four candi
dates were actually present at the forum and two other
candidates had statements read by Bellavita.
The six candidates who participated -- in one way or
another — were Howard Burke, Tom Blether, Candice
Schwabauer, Earl Diment, Maureen Kearney and Ken
Roberts.

‘ :
By the way; this Version of the forum is only half
the story. The second session of the forum saw only
one candidate participating; one who had taken part ,jn
the first session.
‘ ,
The next bit of humor stems from the way names
were allowed to be placed on the ballot.
It was discovered the ASG constitution has made no
provisions for the necessity of candidates turning in
petitions with a set number of student signatures.
For all we know, students may have decided to dp
something hilarious like putting the name of an ima
ginary student on a petition.
The election as a whole has been unorganized. It was
scheduled that elections would start three days after the
due date on the petitions. This leaves three days for
candidates to "campaign" among the student body.
Hardly enough time to "barnstorm" the campds.
But maybe there isn't enough interest on campus
to warrant serious campaigning. If there was interest
then all of the candidates would have taken advantage
of the forum instead of a mere handful.

To the Editor:
Clackamas Community College is offering a Paper Req
Program on the campus. Each individual should keep theiri
separate from the garbage. Faculty members may keep a bi
container on or by every desk and when that container is full
be taken to a central location and picked up by a work stud
dent. The central barrels will have a list of what kind of pape
be recycled. Paper that has private information on it can be to
half.
Most people now realize that recycling paper is not men
"good" cause. It has become a necessary fact of life. We are
our natural resources at an exponential rate, much more qi
than they can be replaced by nature. Waste paper comprise
bulk of society's garbage and yet it is one of the most recyclat
materials.
If an area needs a centrally located barrel, or your barrel
to be picked up, call ext. 232. You can also call if you hai
questions or input into the program. Let's all work togeth
making our ccc Recycling Paper Program a successful
