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.
Visit the Print’s website each
week to catch up on the latest
happenings on campus.

“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.
Grossman will wear her cast
for about ten weeks. After
that, she will go through
therapy to learn to walk again.
Although she is afraid of cars
and driving now, she intends
to drive again after she has re
covered from her injuries.
