They simply didn’t have the money to fund the help they needed to do the job,” said Patterson “We have plenty of room to improve and that’s where we’re headed now.” As of April 12, the ELC is no longer doing any recycling. They no longer have the funds to pay the needed employees to con tinue. The college is preparing a plan for a new recycling program. “The market is so low right now they (ELC) couldn’t pay the wages of their employees,” said Patterson. “It was never a ques tion if we would or wouldn’t (re cycle); it was how.” Patterson has been doing some research about recycling programs the college can use. She did some checking with compa nies such as Metro, Waste Man agement, Oregon City Garbage and KB Recycling. She found that KB Recycling can handle all of the paper for the college. Most paper products can be sorted into three categories: computer paper, white bond pa per and trash paper (envelopes, glossy paper, fax paper, news print, phone books etc.). KB will buy computer paper for $125 a ton, white bond for $65 a ton and will pick up trash paper for no charge. “We have the opportunity to save the college money by reduc ing the dumpsters and we have the opportunity for students to earn money,” expressed Patterson. In the past the college has not recycled trash paper. Patterson is excited about the prospect of re cycling more materials. When she was going over what is recyclable and what is not with a representative from KB Re cycling she found many recyclable materials. “Just standing there on that particular day, I could see that half the dumpster was full of recy clable material,” Patterson said. There will be a recycling pro posal presented to President’s Council. This proposal would be to have KB Recycling pick up the college’s recyclable materials and give the profits to the Help Everyone’s Environment Live (HEEL) club. This club will use the money to promote the values of recycling to students and staff at Clackamas. “I’m very impressed with the committee (HEEL); I’m very ex cited to work with them,” Patterson said with a smile.

He or she does this by appointing four outgoing ASG members to the selection committee, joined by a student activities representative and chaired by the incoming vice- president. The selection commit tee and the president have until the first or second week of fall term to fill the vacant positions. Senate candidates must take at least eight credit hours per term at CCC while officer candidates must carry 10 credit hours. Both senators and officers must main tain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and can have a 2.5 GPA in a given term as long as their cumulative GPA stays at 3.0 or above. Bellamy doesn’t expect voter turnout in May to be as high as last year. “It might not be as much as last year because there was more than one person running for one of the positions. But I think it will be higher than in other years,” she said. Between 230 and 250 stu dents voted last year, while only about 50 voted the year before. In addition to creating the se lection committee, the president represents the ASG student body concern before collegecommittees such as the President’s Council. The Council includes the CCC president, the college deans and the heads of the part-time and full-time faculty unions, among others. The ÀSG president is also a member of the Board of Presi dents of the Community Colleges of Oregon Student-Body Associa tions and Commissions. The vice-president is in charge of ASG appropriations, elections and sets up accounts for college clubs, in addition to facili tating meetings between the lead ership of various clubs. He or she also organizes the Club Fair where CCC organizations set up booths to assist fund-raising, membership drives and to gener ate interest in the clubs’ activities. Outgoing vice-president Bellamy has some advice for her replacement: “Be very organized and plan ahead, because there are so many different angles you’re working with. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed if you don’t have everything in order.” But she’s not complaining. “I’ve enjoyed it a lot,” she said. “It’s been very stressful at times; but overall, it’s been a very good learning experience.” Authors' Night ’’The Art of the Short Story” Wednesday, April 24, 7 p.m. Gregory Forum FREE Featured writers include: Geronimo las^tac, Flotfb Skloot & Anbrea Carlisle For more information call Allen Widerburg at ext. 2359.
