C. BRAD ZIMMERMAN ■ Co Editor-in-Chief Politicians and policy-makers on Capitol Hill recently were able to hear exactly what students from Clackamas think when Associated Student Government President Jacob Boenisch, ASG Federal Affairs Officer Josh Bruegman and Campus Issues Officer David LeDoux trav eled to Washington, D.C. The trip was primarily for lobbying purposes, to famil iarize Bruegman with various Senators and Representa tives, for LeDoux to talk to health organizations regard ing health care on community college campuses and for Cafetería goes through changes New Cafeteria Tidbits • New director: Rick Traynor • New supplier: Compass Group •New food: Upper Crust sandwiches, Ritazza coffee, new donuts • More recycling • New hours: Until 8 p.m. weekdaysand now open weekends LAURA ARMSTRONG MIKE GARCIA Staff Writers CHRISTINA MUELLER Co-Editor-in-Chief Hungry? The campus cafeteria has gone through a lot of changes and has more to offer than ever before. Rick Traynor, new director of din ing services, invites all students to try the new food lines on the menu. The Compass Group is an interna tional company based in London that has brought a British flair by offer ing such items as Upper Crust sand wiches, Not Just Donuts bakery products and Ritazza gourmet cof fee. The baguettes for the Upper Crust sandwiches are baked fresh daily and can be made to order. Five different varieties of coffee are offered; two are decaffeinated. The donuts are also made fresh daily and deluxe top pings are available. “They’re just phenomenal,” said Traynor. See Cafeteria, page 3 Boenisch, Bruegman and LeDoux to attend a Committee for Education Funding dinner which honored several edu cation-friendly politicians. Boenisch and Bruegman primarily were lobbying Con gress two weeks ago on two different causes while in Wash ington as both representatives of ASACC and as represen tatives of Clackamas's student government. The first was the State Student Incentive Grant pro gram. SSIG's funding was originally slated to be cut from $50 million for the entire country ($2 million went to Oregon) to nothing, effectively eliminating the pro gram. Boenisch and Bruegman talked to a variety of Senators and Representatives about how important the program was. At press time, the Senate had re-included 32.5 million for the program and the House of Repre sentatives was still resisting including funding for the program. The other item that Boenisch and Bruegman were lobbying on was the Gorton Amendment (In the Sen ate) and the Hoekstra Amendment (in the House of Representatives) which were designed to eliminate funding for various school-related programs and trans fer those funds and the management of those funds to 'Local Education Authorities' (LEA). Boenisch and Bruegman were lobbying against both amendments because they felt that since LEA wouldn't have any restrictions on how those funds were spent, chances are spending of those funds would be delegated to projects or programs while not funding other equally important programs. While in Washington LeDoux was on a different type of mission. LeDoux, who paid for the majority of the trip out of his own pocket, was talking to various health care organizations on how to get funding for increased health care and an increase in the variety of health care options available to students at Clackamas. According to LeDoux, he wants more than “just this mediocre $50-a-term for $10,000 coverage. It doesn’t cover you on.holidays. We., need something that’s going to effectively benefit the students. Not just something that’s going to get them by.” On Sept. 22, Boenisch, Bruegman and LeDoux attended a CEF congressional awards dinner that honored Bill Clinton with the Terrel H. Bell Award for Outstanding Education Advocacy. The dinner also honored various education-friendly Senators and Representatives includ ing Senator Pete Domenici, Senator Christopher Dodd, Senator Arlen Specter, Rep. John Spratt, Jr., Rep. Nita Lowey and Rep. Michael Castle. Lundy temps as Advisor for student government BRAD ZIMMERMAN Co-Editor-in-Chief When Norm Bemey, ASG’s regular advisor, knew he was going to be leav ing he decided to call Amy Lundy, one of ASG’s former presidents. Lundy served on ASG from the Win ter of *93 until Spring of ‘94 as a Sena tor and then served as ASG’s president from Fall of ’94 until Spring of ’95. When she transferred down to Or egon State University she maintained contacts with Norm Bemey and Clackamas while becoming OSU stu dent government’s Executive Director of External Development. Lundy then moved on to becoming OSU student government’s Vice President. “I’m really enjoying it [being Advi sor]. I’m trying not to change things too radically. This is a learning expe rience for me as well as for the ASG President,” said Lundy. However, she added that she will be assuming the full role of Berny’s nor mal Advisor position, including work ing on high school recruiting and gen erally being involved in increasing stu dent involvement on campus. “I have some personal soapboxes that were soapboxes while I was here - student child care is an issue that was near and dear to my heart while I was here. Now I’m back and I can help ASG as they tackle that issue.” As ASG’s Advisor, Lundy helps stu dent government troubleshoot prob lems, run meetings, form new ideas on how to handle projects, etc. Lundy stated that she is also a resource for new clubs, along with generating sug gestions for student groups and “basi cally a lot of troubleshooting stuff. Lots of footwork.” While acting as a high school re cruiter for Clackamas, Lundy makes contacts with various in-district high schools and develops contacts with counselors so that she can promote Clackamas as a viable solution to stu dents' college needs. “Some schools invite us in for in- class sessions so that we can come in and talk to a class of students. Other high schools have college nights where we can come in and represent Clackamas. We also participate in lo- Amy Lundy cal college fairs and other local events,” said Lundy. So far, Lundy’s time at Clackamas has been going “great,” said Lundy. “I really love the student services end of things. I’m enjoying this job very much. ASG is a great group to work with - it’s like coming home. I’m so proud of what they’ve done already. They have really ambitious goals but they’re a hard working group,” said Lundy. Lundy, while acting as ASG’s Advi sor, will also be finishing up “the last few credits” of her enrollment at OSU via independent study.
