Barnett has several goals that she would like to accomplish if elected into office. “I want the Club’s Coun cil to be operative. Also, I would like to hold a club conference so that students can get a better idea of what the clubs are about,” said Barnett. “I would also like to see students become more involved in ASG affairs.” Barnett wants to assist in making students more knowledge able about ASG. “I want students to know that ASG is paid by students. We are here for students. I want stu dents to care about important is sues like the current tuition hikes, actions of Congress and Repre sentatives and what our college ad ministration is doing for us.” Barnett is working towards a Transfer Degree. “I’m unde cided on a major but I’m leaning towards education.” Barnett brings to her campaign a background in ASG activities. “I have two years experi ence in CCC ASG; one year as a Senator and one year as an Offi cer,” said Barnett. “I have sat on the Ways and Means Committee, the same committee I will be chair ing if elected Vice President.

He is working towards a degree in ac counting. When asked what experience he could bring to the office of Vice President, DuBell looked at his small child and replied, “I’m a father.” “I know how to oversee a group, but I also know how to be a mem ber,” said Amy Gaskell, candidate for 1992-93 ASG president. Gaskell has been involved in student government at Clackamas for two years now. “Right now I am assistant to the administrative as sistant,” she said.

She was also the KATU Channel 2 spokesperson for the “Youth of Estacada Support Schools (YESS)” program when she was a high school freshman. Gaskell was also in various clubs including OS SAM and the Athletic club in high school. “Growing up as the oldest of five children, I started my leader ship skills at a very young age,” she said. One of the responsibilities held by the ASG president is also to serve as Clackamas’ representa tive of the CCOSAC conferences. “I’ve served as the liaison for CCOSAC and have had two years
