MIKE POLLOCK7 Clackamas Print Bryan Fuentez, current ASG President, asks questions of Yvonne Ingram and Stefan Myers who are running for next year's ASG vice president and president. They are both running unopposed. FRANKJORDAN Sports Editor The 2001 Associated Student Government Candidate Forum was held yesterday in the Skylight Din ing Room in the Community Center. Stefan Myers, the lone candidate for ASG president and Yvonne Ingram, the lone candidate for vice-presi dent, spoke to a small group of stu dents to present themselves and their ideas for the 2001-02 school year. Myers, a freshman at Clackamas and a graduate of Canby High School, displays a lot of enthusiasm and drive. He was involved in stu dent government and leadership at Canby, and has management train ing in the workplace. He believes that campus communication and student involvement in the pro grams at Clackamas is the key to success at this college. Myers plans to start a newsletter that will be dis tributed to students on a regular basis as well as use the college’s E- mail system more effectively to dis tribute the newsletter. “I want students who want to get more involved have the resources and the means to get more involved, not only with their own studies, but also with the college in general,” Myers said. “When you (the stu dents) want to get more involved, we will help you find out how.” Ingram, a collegiate fresh man and graduate of the Adult GED program at Clackamas, is a recovering addict and the mother of two teenage sons. She believes that her life expe rience has given her the insight to deal with a wide vari ety of people, including the diver sity at Clackamas. “I have one parent who is deaf, and the other parent is blind, so one of my goals is to focus on the sign language transfer degree program, as well as others.” Ingram said. “I want to help promote student aware ness and get students more in tune with what CCC has to offer. We, as student government, will do what ever it takes to help you succeed as students.” Both Myers and Ingram gained experience working as ASG senators this year and want to continue a tra dition of excellence for next year. “We don’t know what we could do to improve on this year’s per formance,” Myers said. “We just hope that next year’s group can step up to the level that our group this year was able to achieve.” Ingram added “we want to leave in coming ASG groups with a foundation to build on; to be able to incorporate future ideas with those that have proven success ful in the past.” ASG elections will take place on campus this Thursday and Friday. Computers will be set up on cam pus to help students vote in the online election. Students may also access the college’s website at www.clackamas.cc.or.us and vote through the ASG link. Any Clacka mas student taking at least one credit hour is eligible to vote. Com plete results will be published in the next issue of The Print.
