Bruegman has served on ASG for two
terms (fall and winter 1996-97) as a
Presidential Aide.
If elected as vice president, Bruegman
said he is "committed to improving stu­
dent accessibility to clubs, student ser­
vices, lower tuition rates, financial aid
... and the environment."
"Student government is basically a

on several differ­
ASG Presidential Aide
ent programs as
vice president, in­
cluding the Na­
tive Plant program and the textbook grant
program (temporary loans to students
who need to buy textbooks).
"Right now I know that if you pay for
'classes at the beginning of the term, you
don't have enough money to pay for your
books," said Bruegman.
Bruegman's past student government
and leadership experience comes from his
two terms as Associated Student Govern-
ment Presidential Aide, a manager for
Starbucks and manager-intern for The
Gap.
Strowbridge has served on ASG for three
terms as Executive Senator and three as
Administrative Assistant.
Strowbridge says she will, if elected, fo­
cus heavily on disability access, espe­
cially to bathrooms and buildings in gen­
eral.
"I want to make sure that everyone can
get into the bathrooms... that they have easy
access to the buildings," said Strowbridge

stated Strowbridge.
Strowbridge's past leadership and student
government experience includes work as a
volunteer coordinator for the National
Honor Society and Peer Helpers and cap­
tain of the cheerleading squad (all while in
high school), helping students in the Learn­
ing Resource Center lab, and participating
in choir.
"I just want students to know that I'm here
for them," said Strowbridge.
Fine has served for two terms on ASG as
Executive Senator and is running for the
presidential position because, "I want to put
Clackamas first. I've been here long enough
... I think I could do the job very well."
Fine says that if she's elected president,
she intendsjo focus on "disabled access. ...
It's an eye-opener to see how hard it is for
students on crutches or in wheelchairs." Fine
said that, if elected, she would make sure all

said Fine.
Fine also would like to increase the num­
ber of student programs that Clackamas stu­
dents have available to them.
"Recycling, transitional programs, the li­
brary — the student services seem to be tak­
ing almost a back seat. The meeting spaces
have been cut down," said Fine.
Fine's past student government includes
working on ASG as an Executive Senator
during the 1996-97 Fall and Winter terms.
Fine has served on several committees and
was "a big part of fundraising for the Wash.
D.C. trip."
Boenisch has served on ASG for five
terms. Three of those terms were as a Pub­
lic Relations Senator. The other two terms
(for this school year) Boenisch has served
as a Federal Affairs Officer.
Boenisch stated he plans to be involved
in lowering the cost of tuition and books,
increasing child care scholarships, improv­
ing the state of elevators and electronic
doors, fighting for financial aid and stu-
dent rights and of-
fering more in
terms of campus
recreation.

"Moving progressively forward, in our
activities, doesn't mean revamping our
whole system and revamping our priorities
but actually revamping the names and mak-
ing our positions progressive," said
Boenisch.
Boenisch's past experience includes
working on ASG as a Bookmart Senator
and as a Public Relations Senator during
the 1995-96 school year and a Federal Af­
fairs officer during the 1996-97 school year.
