______ L News TI he CI ac I camas P rînt WedNEsdAy, ApRil 19, 2000 Online ASG elections has potential to boost voter turnout KARLKATZKE Business Manager Clackamas, welcome to the 21st century. This year, elections for Associ ated Student Government officers will be held on the Internet, in an effort to make voting more conve nient for students and ASG staff members. Gone are the days of filling out a ballot, folding it, and putting it in the ballot box. Now, students sim ply enter their student identifica tion numbers and their names, choose whom they would like to see in office next year, and click a button to enter their votes. The best part about this site? A picture of each candidate and a short statement explaining his or her campaign platform will be available, which makes choosing the best candidate almost pain less. “This allows someone who’s not following the campaigns to jump online... and make an educated de cision,” said Brian Fuentez, ASG administrative assistant. “That way, every student has a voice.” The voting will be hosted at The Clackamas Print’s website, at http://depts.clackamas. cc.or.us/ print/. When the ballot-casting opens, a link placed prominently on the site will guide students to the voting location. “The more people we get to vote, the better off we are,” said Norm Bemey, ASG advisor. Students may find their Clacka mas student ID number on any college billing or schedule print out. Please make sure you enter your student ID number correctly; votes without valid student ID numbers will be discarded when the ballots are counted. Last year’s ASG election collected approximatly 250 votes. Because of online elections, the ASG hopes to triple this amount this year. “Anything we can do to get more students to vote is good - not to mention training them to vote in the future, too,” said Bemey.

Live bands and a BBQ highlight the event on campus. 1 i------------------------------- Grossman: accident forces Eternal circle ideal fo A painted canvas replica of the labyrinthfrom the Chartres Cathedral in Paris, France visited changes in teaching Continued from page 1 “It’s harder to teach. There’s not enough writing space on the board that’s reachable and all the overheads are bolted to those carts,” Grossman clari fied. “It will change some of the ways I deliver information and I’m still working out the best way to handle it. I’m sort of stationary, and I have to make it interesting to people— I want to make sure I’m not just a talking head up there.”' Although the accident has taken weeks of Grossman’s life away, she feels there are also some positive aspects. “People have been very nice; Clackamas has been wonder ful and students have been great,” she remarked.
