2 News/Opinion The Clackamas Print Wednesday, November 6,1996 Editorial Another one bites the Laney Fouse Editor-in-Chief As we head into production, I cannot help but think about the number of American college stu dents who did not take the op portunity to vote on Tuesday. What a waste. Sure, the pamphlets so painstakingly put together by government workers were a lot to read. Yes, of course, it was confusing. But no more so than last year’s chemistry book. If you got out and voted, more power to you. It does not matter how you voted. We will get a chance to change our mind in four ÿears. The facPWtysa** took advantage of being a free citizen in this country and voiced your opinion. On the other hand, I am glad the elections are over.- I could not stand to watch one more po litical commercial or hear cam paign promises sure to be bro ken. So please excuse me while I : haul my recycling bin to the curb. It is overflowing with glossy “vote for me” campaign advertisements. I just hope the man working the recycling route today does not hurt him self lifting it to his truck.

Clackamas student shares first time voting experience Erin Bennett Business Manager Yesterday I voted for die first time in my life. I was excited when I turned 1$; Suddenly, I could take a stand on issues in my commu nity, my state and my nation that concerned myself, my loved ones and my peers. Over the last several weeks, I have painstakingly gone through both volumes of the Oregon Vot ers ’ Pamphlet. I have gone to outside sources to help dissect the more confusing measures. I have discussed the various mea sures with my family, friends and classmates. I have even gone so far as to list personal pros and cons for the more difficult mea sures. There were many people that called me naive. My father jok ingly remarked about the ideal ism behind my attentiveness. I brushed off all of the negative re marks, for I knew in my heart I was right. Voting is a right, but there is a responsibility that comes with ft. That responsibility is know ing you have made the best The Clackamas Print aims to report the news in an honest, unbiased, professional manner.

How can people visit the vot ing polls knowing nothing more about the issues than what they see on TV and hear on the radio? After all of my careful research, I can honestly say l am glad I went to the trouble. The Voters’ Pamphlet is filled with all sorts of arguments for and againsteach measure. However, the only requirement for having an argument printed is that the $500 fee is paid and the document is filed in time. Take, for example, Ballot Measure 31 (the censor ship measure). All of the oppos ing arguments, except for one, were written by the same com mittee. Reading only this, how could anyone feel they have made a responsible decision? I am glad I live in a country that allows me to have a voice in the future of my society. I just wish more people would take the time to find out what they are actually voting about before making reckless and haphazard decisions that could negatively impact this great nation we live in. iTioìkeriNe 579-6439 The Clackamas Print The official newspaper of Clackamas Community College Laney Fouse, Editor-in Chief (ext. 2576) Brad Ziihmerman, Managing Editor (ext. 2576) Karin Redston, Feature Editor (ext. 2578) Jon Roberts, A&E Editor (ext. 2309) Brendon Neal, Sports Editor (ext. 2578) Cindy Hines Kurfman, Copy Editor (ext. 2309) Joel Coreson, Photo Editor (ext. 2578) Erin Bennett, Business Manager (ext, 2578) Linda Vogt, Advisor (ext. 2310) JoAnne Gale, Secretary (ext. 2309) Staff Writers/Photographers Andrew Beck, Jamie Campos, Dan Clark, Tracy Clay, Mandy Furrow, Kim Harney, Shauna McGehee, Mairin Moore, Christina Mueller, Joel Shempert, John _____________________ Thorbum ____________________ The Clackamas Print is a weekly publication of the Journalism Dept and is distributed every Wednesday except during finals week. . cccprint@clackamas.cc.or.us >■ (503) 657-6958 ext. 2309 i 19600 S Molalla Ave. Oregon City, OR 97045
