LeDoux, Fuentez get 74 percent of votes ROBERT SCHOENBERG Staff Writer Associated Student Government's National Affairs Officer David LeDoux (left) was elected to be ASG's next president. He was officially running unopposed but write-in canidate John Heller managed to grab 36 votes. LeDoux received 151 out of the 204 votes cast. TIMOTHY BELL / Clackamas Print Associated Student Government's Senator-at-large Bryan Fuentez was elected to be ASG's next vice president. He was running unopposed and, like LeDoux, received 151 of the 204 votes cast. TIMOTHY BELL / Clackamas Print David LeDoux, newly-elected Associated Student Gov ernment president, garnered 151 votes out of the 204 bal lots cast in last week’s elections, according to ASG elec tion officials. In other returns, vice president-elect Bryan Fuentez re ceived I5l votes and write-in candidate John Heller, also running for president, received 36 votes. Heller probably received an additional number of votes, but election rules state that the write-in votes be counted officially for a name even though it may, be misspelled. “Every thing went fairly smooth," said Norm Bcrncy, ASG advisor. "It would have been more enjoyable if more participants had become involved but I think the staff did its best to accommodate the write-in candidates.” Student Lee Earl Elby, another write-in candidate for president, accounted for seven votes. Erica Strowbridgc, ASG election supervisor, said, “It went really great” despite having troubles for the second year in a row with the lock on the ballot box. School main tenance had to come by and break the lock. “I’m proud of everybody; I think everybody worked re ally hard,” Strowbridgc said. A total of 204 ballots were cast out of a student body of 5000 full-time students, a ratio not unusual for a two-year college; it mirrors turnout at four-ycar institutions on a state and national level, according to Bcrncy. “I don’t think the students completely understand the influence they can have with the administration,” Bcrncy said. “We’ve got to tell people we can do the job for them. "We need to be involved in all aspects of student life: visit horticulture out at Clairmont, visit the auto shop and visit the nursing classrooms. We need to educate students on what the student vote can do.” International CCC student nets $1000 from VICA Week Wednesday, May 13: Spain & Latin America 11:00 a.m.: Open Ceremony Food Court Opens Trumpet Solo - A Bull Fighter’s Prayer Flamenco Dances Bomba/Merengue (Puerto Rican dance) Latin American Love Songs Mexican Hat Dance Mexican Songs (Guitar Duet) Rumba (Cuban Dance) La Cueco (Folkloric dance of Chile) El Sanjuanero (Columbia folkloric dance) Afro-Peruvian Dance Salsa, Merengue, Tambora Samba (Brazil) Piñata Breaking Thursday, May 14: Japan, Estonia & Native America 10:00 a.m.: 10:15 a.m.: 10:45 a.m.: 11:00 a.m.: 11:00 a.m.; 11:30 a.m.: 12:30 p.m.: 1:30 p.m.: 2:00 p.m.: Open Ceremony Richmond Grade School Announcements Native American Storyteller Food Court Opens Estonia Choir with Lonnie Cline Chemawa Indian School Native American Storyteller Closing ROBERT SCHOENBERG Staff Writer Returning from state competition at Portland Community College, Rock Creek, Clackamas collision repair student Ryan Johnson came back with a first-place gold medal after the all-day event.

Johnson is the fourth Clackamas student he is taking to the VICA competition involving state gold medal winners from all of the U.S. “Competition is a little tougher at the nationals,” Austen stated. “To be com petitive the student has to be good and steady with his work all the way through.
