Elections for the two positions are to be held in April. Candidates, in order to be considered for the election, need to have a petition signed by 100 current Clackamas students. Strowbridge, also in charge of the elections committee, will explain at the meeting the requirements to be a candi date and the duties of the two positions. She will explain in detail the election process. “As a candidate you don’t have to spend any of your own money. Costs of the election are covered by the ASG,” she said. The positions of president and vice president of the ASG will be for the 1998-1999 school year. Strowbridge said two students are already interested in the president’s posi tion and one is interested in the vice president’s. For students interested in becoming a candidate, the meeting will be held March 30, the first day of spring term, in room 126 of the Community Center. Native garden: also a way to explore, learn Continued from Page 1 cooperative work experience. Misley stated, because the garden is at low elevation, that if students are taking a biology class where they will be go ing on field trips to view plants, the garden can also be a useful way to preview plants in a "floristic setting." Native Plant Identification and Uses, a new Biology class being taught by Misley, is using the native garden area as a way to explore Native American uses of plants. Students will be able to learn how Native Americans lived with and used native plants to survive. Misley hopes that one day the Pauling Center native gar den will rank up among other local and regional native gar den areas. Currently, other local areas include the Barry Botanical Gar dens (near Lewis and Clark) and the Leech Botanical Gardens. Both specialize in showcasing native plants and "specimen" plants — those that are difficult to cultive and grow. In the future, the garden will be undergoing some soil ad ditions and amendments, featuring new plants, to showcase more plants and to work closer with other groups that have similar interests. "We're exploring a collaboration with the Horticulture de partment. As they expand and grow and include an interest in native plants we want to help them showcase plants and to use this [garden] as source material," said Misley.
