level. Seated, from left: Yvonne Ingram, and Mike Caudle. Standing, from left: Bobbi Felix, Norm

“I was very impressed with the
program, but equally impressed
with the students and all of the hard
work that they showed during the
course of the conference. These
are the leaders of tomorrow, and
they showed their mettle this
week.”
Yvonne Ingram and Rae Van Den
Bosch, two of the ASG officers that
attended the trip, very much en
joyed the whole experience.
“It was everything that I
thought it was going to be and
more,” Ingram commented. “It was
an incredibly fulfilling trip.”
"Our entire group came into the
conference really prepared and
really comfortable with what we
wanted to accomplish on this
trip,” said Van Den Bosch.
Berney was elected as the chair
man of the ASAAC Advisors In
stitute for the 2001-2002 academic
year. The purpose of the Advi
sors Institute is to encourage ad
visors to become active partners
in building an effective and re
sponsive network while enhanc
ing their own profession. Berney
had previously served on the
Institute’s board between 1997-
2001.

Dr. Earl "Joe" Johnson,
presidential candidate, spoke
at an open forum yesterday.
Open forums will be held today
with the other three
presidential candidates.
The end of the search for a new
college president is drawing closer
with the finalists narrowed from 20
to four candidates: Dr. BertGlandon
of Ontario, Ore; Dr. Earl “Joe”
Johnson of San Mateo, Calif.; Dr.
Ronald Remington of Elko, Nev.;
and Dr. Gretchen Schuette of
Gresham, Ore.
Yesterday Johnson was on cam
pus for an open forum with the pub
lic where approximately 80 people
attended. Today the other candi
dates are on campus for an open
forum with the public; see sidebar
for open forum times. While on cam
pus, they are also having a second
interview with the Board of Educa
tion and a tour of the campus.
Johnson is currently the chancel
lor at San Mateo Community Col
lege, which has three campuses, and
oversees the three presidents there.
He was asked many questions by
staff and community members in
cluding his views on student activi
ties, raising funds for the college and
health insurance for part-time fac
ulty.
“One thing I have found is, to be
an effective leader you have to work
with other leaders of other institu
tions and respectively unify to
gether to bring a message to the leg
islature,” said Johnson. “That is the
most powerful thing you can do in
terms of raising funds.”
Johnson formerly served as presi
dent at Clark College in Vancouver,
Wash. He is also a presidential can
didate finalist at Portland Commu
nity College.
Glandon will be on campus today
and is currently the president at
Treasure Valley Community College
in Ontario, Ore. Before being em
ployed at Treasure Valley, Glandon
worked as acting dean of faculty and
associate dean of instruction at
Clark College. He also worked at
South Seattle Community College
and Western Washington Univer
sity.
Remington is currently the presi
dent of Great Basin College in Elko,
Nev. He is an honorary member of
Phi Theta Kappa and a past presi
dent of the Mountain States Com
munity College Association. He has
been employed at Great Basin for 12
years.
Schuette is currently the superin
tendent of the Gresham-Barlow
school district. Before becoming the
