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

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.

Our apologies to Emily Main, not Martin, who submitted a letter

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.
With a thankful heart,
Tiffany Fine
Executive Senator, ASG
