DIANA SCRIVNER
Associate News Editor
ryan Fuentez, 22, is president
elect of the Associated Stu
B
dent Government (ASG) for
the school year2000-2001.
Fuentez is a resident of Canby and
has been involved with the ASG for
the past three years, as senator at large,
the vice president and the administra
tive assistant. Lobbying for childcare
and textbook grants is an important
issue to him.
“It is a legislative year and we are
going to be focused on a lot of issues
and lobbying for childcare and finan
cial aid dollars... grants, and Pell
grants,” Fuentez explained.
“The student government needs to
take an active role as far as writing
letters, and getting letters written by
other students, to tell our legislature
how we feel about those programs
and how we feel they are necessary,”
he said.
Planning and making sure every
one is on track and doing what they
should be doing is also essential to
Fuentez.
“I want to be working so hard over
the summer so that by fall people can
be given a task and just go and run
with it, and have their own ideas and
work themselves,” said the president
elect. “Everybody in student govern
ment needs to have an active role in
deciding what our goals will be, and
where we’re headed.”
Fuentez’ responsibilities as presi
dent include attending weekly
President’s Council meetings.
“There are a lot of issues, and stu
dents have tire opportunity weekly to
bring them up, as well as other things
that are happening on campus, to the
President’s Council,” said Fuentez,
who plans to bring student issues to
that meeting each week.
Along with his duties as president,
Fuentez will also serve in the Oregon
Community College Student Associa
tion (OCCSA), making sure that the
state legislature addresses issues such
as childcare and textbook grants for
community colleges.
He is also a board member of the
American Student Association of
Community Colleges (ASACC),
which lobbies for federal dollars for
community colleges.
“It’s a big role, but in the same sense
it’sjustapieceofthepie,” said Fuentez
of his responsibilities.
“I am responsible to the students
at Clackamas; if there is an issue that
needs to be heard, the student gov
ernment will hear it and we will dis
cuss it, and we will decide what can
be done about it”
