ASG V.P. steps down, rookie takes ov

If you were to go into the Associated Student
Government office and ask to speak to the vice presi­
dent that you, as a student, elected into office, you
might be in for a surprise. Little did anyone know,
ASG shifted its upper levels of power by hiring a
new vice president.
Barbara-Sue “Babs” McCambridge, a student
here at Clackamas Community College and former
ASG vice president, has stepped down from her
position and is now the campus activities officer.
McCambridge, who officially stepped down towards
the end of the spring term, explained that her reasons
for doing so are that she realized she was going to be
incapable of fulfilling her duties and requirements as
V.P. due to the stresses of school and “other things.”
“Babs didn’t feel like her skill set was compatible
for this position and recognizing that she decided
to step down. Is that normal? No, it’s not, but I’m
incredibly proud of her for recognizing she just
wasn’t compatible for this position,” said Alyssa
Fava, president of ASG.
McCambridge said, “I love doing Campus
Activities,” as she worked in her old space in the
ASG office.
McCambridge has been attending CCC for two
years and is studying math and science. In that time,
she has also been involved with ASG. Starting out
as the “senator at large” for Campus Activities she
quickly moved up the ranks to senator and then was
elected as vice president last year.
The successor to the position of V.P. is currently
Sean Briare. Briare is also a student at CCC and
is currently attending classes to get his freshmen
courses out of the way. Although they are the same
in that both McCambridge and Briare have held the
title of V.P. the difference is that McCambridge’s two
years in ASG shadows Briare’s single term. Despite
this, Briare is confident that he can hold the position

and those he works with agree.
When Briare first came to CCC he applied for an
ASG position. While it isn’t uncommon for ASG to
hire freshmen as officers, it is rare for them to fill

father began teaching at CCC in courses of re
world religion and faith and reason. The elder!
teaching these courses allowed Sean Briare to
worldwide field trips, and he has traveled to
places some could only dream about going to.

With his still fresh experience working in
of government and his knowledge of vast cj
differences, the younger Briare wants to puB

Despite the drama that came with the B

seems confident that Briare can perform the diB
