2 Let your heart soar as high as it will. Refuse to be average. -A.W. Tozer J4 J P P y o J4 £ P 'S 2) J y _________ OpJrjj pf]_________ “î Candidate wants to set record straight Dear Editor, I wish to thank you, first of all, for the opportunity to have personal views expressed in “The Print.” I must agree with your editorial that integrity is important. That is why I write to you. On April 30, a letter was printed at tacking my integrity. At first I was up-'» set, but then I was amused. The infor-i mation in that letter was far from the truth. I will explain why. PowerSurge is a musical duo that gave a concert sponsored by Custom ized Training and Development Ser vices. The function was not spon sored by ASG in anyway. The Pro ceeds from the concert were donated to the Child Care fund. I was not in attendance at that concert because 1 )I did not have $12 for a ticket, 2)My attendance was not required, 3)1 need one night off a week just the same as most people. I serve on many boards and committees# am here inifte morn ing as early as 7:30 a.m. and at least as l^.te as 7:00 p.m. If my dedication is in question, I would like to see how^The saineapplies for the child care officer who was named in the letter. I The night of the supposed ^‘cam paign function” was far from an offi cial meeting. It was three friends who conquered my kitchen to eat junk food, talk about girl stuff, read comic books "The Far Side," go to my church the next morning to sing, and make ASG member offers views on candidates1 assets and downfalls Dear Editor: Being a member of the Associated Student Government for three years I found the letter that you printed last week from “J.T. Snow” petty and witless. Among Clackamas Community College students, I feel there is a lack of knowledge concerning student government and the members of it. We have been working hard as a team to inform students on the many strides we are taking to make Clackamas a more positive and effective place to be. This is one of the reasons that I am surprised at the letter written by “Mr. Snow.” Tiffany Fine is portrayed in this letter as one who is putting her own personal agenda above that of ASG. by having a campaign meeting during a benefit concert for child care. She manipulated the child care officer to conspire with her into not going (or so the story is told). In my opinion, child care at Clackamas Community College should be an important issue to all of the candidates. So how many of the official candidates actually went to that benefit? To my knowledge, none. Which doesn’t make any of them any less qualified. The fact is that none of the student government members attended that concert, but that does not mean that student government doesn’t support Child care funding: The intention of that letter was to lower the credibility of Tiffany Fine. It is one sided and obvious that “J.T.” favors the other candidate. However, I don’t favor either candidate.and I am going to give you my honest, unbiased opinion on all of the candidates. Presidential Candidates: Tiffany Fine in my opinion is a worthy candidate for president. Although she has been oh student government for only two terms, she has proven to be a “go getter.” If there is an issue that concerns any student, she is usually one of the first to begin a plan of action. What may be her greatest asset could become her biggest downfall. Because she is so anxious to get things done, she sometimes overlooks the smallest things that can bring a team success. Jacob Boenisch is also a strong leader. As the Federal Affairs Officer, Jacob has conquered political issues on our campus that have never been accomplished before by A.S.G. He is experienced and knows the steps that need to be taken to be prosperous. However, just because he knows the steps doesn’t mean that he will take them. My experience with Jacob is that he delegates well but has trouble following through with his personal responsibilities in the positions he has held in A.S.G. Vice President Candidates: Erica Stowbridge is knowledgeable, she takes action, and has a genuine concern for all student issues. As Administrative Assistant, she has worked hard at fulfilling her job and more. I have no doubts of her capabilities to rise to a higher level. Josh Bruegman is a stellar candidate for Vice President. This is the first year on A.S.G. that we have had the Presidential Aid position that he currently holds. He has become an aid not only to the president, but to all of student government and all of the students at Clackamas by being involved in all areas' of our government and even creating a few new ones on his own. I hope that none of the candidates are offended by what I have written because after all, it is just my opinion. If anything I hope that each take my constructive criticism and grow from it. Good luck. Bonita Daniels Correction - ----------- -- ---------------- —1 Our apologies to Emily Main, not Martin, who submitted a letter I to the editor last week, "Recycling, bureaucracy frustrates I student." We love getting feedback from our readers. We encourage you I to submit your typed letters to us before 1 p.m. on Friday in I Barlow 104. Thanks, Editor-in-Chief | I___________________________________________ I posters for the following week (4\21 - 25). The reference to the ASG’s Elec tions Senator’s attendance was absurd. Of the five people who live in my house (two of which are my parents) and the three guest ¿here that night, no one recalls ever seeing Laurie there. For one, she is not able to drive. Secondly, she livesj^ore than 11 miles away. Thirdly, neither I nor anyone else went and picked her up nor was she dropped off at my house that evening. The con fusion may have taken place because Laurie and I attend the same church. We also had a church meeting that Sunday which we both attended. I do not know why J.T. Snow is at tacking me. I have done nothing wrong. I have broken no campaign rules. I vowed when beginning this campaign that it would be clean, hon est, and bi-law abiding. If J.T. Snow wants to question me, I wish he/she would come to me. I am not difficult to get a hold of. I practically live at Clackamas. Messages can always be left for me in CC140 and I will quickly respond. I am sorry that J.T. Snow misunder stood the circumstances. I only hope that these matters may be cleared up to prevent hard feelings. Thank you for your help Print staff. You do a great job in keeping things fair.
