The word “enthusiastic” is
mentioned whenever vice presi
dential candidate Lauri Mayfield
is around. This is one assessment
she is bound to agree with.
“I like a challenge,” said
Mayfield. “I tackle things that
intimidate me.”
She is running for vice presi
dent because she feels she can make
a difference in the lives of stu
dents at Clackamas. She said she
is qualified for the position be
cause of her previous experience
with student government. She is
currently an ASG entertainment
senator and was involved with
student government in high school.
“I’d like to help students feel
more comfortable coming into the
college setting,” said Mayfield.
As the vice president, May-
field believes she will have a great
amount of contact with the stu
dent body via the organization of
with the various clubs on campus.
She would like to meet with rep
resentatives from the groups on a
regular basis so she can assist with
finances and activities.
Future plans for Mayfield
include medical school. She fore
sees a direct correlation between
the demands that will be put on
her as a student with the position
of vice president and becoming a
doctor.
“ASG is a very demanding
job whether you’re a senator or an
officer. Becoming a doctor is just
as demanding,” she said.
Clackamas is special to May-
field because she isn’t just a num
ber, as she feels she would be at a
big university.
When asked about her he
roes, Mayfield had to think for a
minute. Finally she replied that
she doesn’t have one.
“I look up to George Bush
right now for getting us in and out
of there in such a short time. I’ll
continue to look upto him as long
as he takes care of the soldiers
who are still coming back,” May-
field said.
Mayfield is confident in her
skills and feels she is the best
candidate for the position of vice
president.
“I’m the most experienced
candidate for this office. I’ve been
through it. I know the time and
effort it takes to do a good job.”

lot about raising and managing
money last year. He feels that will
be beneficial to the position of
vice president because the vice
president deals with the financial
matters of ASG.
“I have the will to put my
heart into it and a lot of drive. Last
year I helped co-found a club. I co
founded a money raising club for
charities,” said Baty.
Clackamas itself means a lot
to Baty. “It is a college that I can
actually afford and further my
career in international business
at,” said Baty.
“I think that the most impor
tant thing to do is to get the stu
dents’ ideas and thoughts into
motion, everything from getting
rid of styrofoam to possibly get
ting bicycles onto Tri Met,” Baty
said.
When asked about who his
hero was Baty replied, “I’ve had
so many.” Ed Begley Jr. .(an actor)
is Baty’s proclaimed hero. “He
believes in standing up for what
he believes in... he’s pretty cool.

Better communication in the
clubs and really “reaching out to
the students” is what Bill Andersen,
candidate for student body vice
president, plans to accomplish next
year if he is elected.
Andersen, a communications
major, feels that he is the best
candidate for the job. He has three
main goals for the future of Clacka
mas. One is to lobby for an alli
ance of community colleges.
“The student government
represents60,000people, and any
politician who wants to remain in
office can’t ignore a voice that
loud,” commented Andersen.
Andersen also wants to form
a club council.
“The club council would en
able the clubs to get in touch with
the students and advise the ASG
as to what the clubs need,” said
Andersen.
Another change that needs
to be made, according to Andersen,
is that “We should go to the clubs
to help them out instead of sitting
in an office and waiting for them

to come to us.”
The person that Andersen
admires most is “General Powell
because his philosophy is ‘if you
have to do it just do it’ That’s
what I want to do as vice presi
dent,” said Andersen.
Clackamas means a lot to
Andersen.
“It means an efficient educa
tion, a wonderful opportunity for
everyone to get a higher educa
tion ... that’s what America is all
about,” commented Andersen.
Andersen has a lot of qualifi
cations for the job as vice presi
dent. He has been involved in
communications, and he was a
financial officer in the military.
“I think that we should em
phasize that the issues are what
should be voted on. We need new
solutions for new problems,” said
Andersen.
Andersen knows the impor
tance of this job and he feels that
he can do it well.
“I want to urge everybody to
vote. It matters ... vote on the
issues and not the posters,” said
Andersen.
