opinion .y House divided The Associated Student Government offices have a new look this week. The two offices have been separated by a partition. The partition has always been there but has rarely seen use. Now a decision by ASG President Charlie Bennett may make the partition a permanent fixture. The logic behind using the partition is sound enough. It provides Bennett with a quiet place in which to work and hold conferences. There are times when people might feel uncomfortable talking to him if there were other people in the same area. Unfortunately, this partition is contributing to a definite lack of unity in ASG. It's not that the lack of unity was not already there, it's just that the partition is widening the gap. Our concern is that this partition is becoming an issue within the ranks of student government and we don't feel that ASG has the time to spend on this sort of issue. What we can suggest is some sort of compromise. The partition could be pulled back and still be avail able should the need arise for its use. 93MÊ SKI W&EKEMD. ALL vwnwio W WA5 SKI-1' letter Impossible The impossible has been done. An event sponsored by the Associated Student Government made money. The hoedown held last weekend was an enormous success. It has been estimated that 600 people attended the event. That's called participation. The hoedown was co-sponsored by ASG, the Rodeo Club and the Oregon City Jaycees. That's called com munity relations. Student government provided the equipment and the music and the jaycees provided the beverage; beer. (A few words more about the beverage later). Credit must be given to Michael Ayers. Ayers coordi nated the student effort in this project and a good deal of the success of the hoedown should be given to him. We also think that a good portion of the success was due to the fact that alcoholic beverage was served at the function. This was the first time in Clackamas Community College history that a beverage of this nature was served at an event sponsored by student government. It should be noted that no violent inci dents were recorded, an unusual occurence for such a highly attended event. Even though the beer was provided by the jaycees and the event was held off campus it raises an interesting question. If ASG wants to make money on the events it sponsors and it can be proven that alcoholic beverages can be a factor in the success of such events, will ASG be allowed to provide such beverages? It is obvious that they will be allowed to do so off campus with the help of other organizations. We're talking about allowing them to do it on campus. After all, the average age of a student here is 27. w Letters policy: The Cougar Print welcomes letters to the editor.! the editorial policy of the Cougar Print to accept only those letu have been typewritten, double-spaced or carefully printed in ink,« have been signed by the person submitting the letter.
