ASC to elect new officers; applications due April 21 by Vince Washington Staff Writer

The elections for new Associated Student Council officers are approaching fast, and students interested in running and voting should be aware. The candidate application deadline is April 21. Students can obtain applications outside of room U212, in the College Union or in the office of ASC advisor Priscilla Santos, located in room C-23 of the Counseling Center. Candidates must have a 2.0 G.P.A. or better and be enrolled in a minimum of nine units. Candidates are also required to obtain 100 verifiable student signatures before they can run. "Elected officers will have the opportunity to work with a student- oriented administration," said ASC president David McKague. McKague said elected officers also need to be committed to the students. The open positions are president (which requires applicants to have been enrolled at City College for one semester prior to running), vice-president, director of administration, director of finance and Student

Trustee. Those elected will hold their positions until spring, 1995. The council has proposed the selection of one trustee from both City College and Evergreen Valley College as opposed to the joint trustee the schools were sharing. Dual trustees would allow the schools to be represented better, said McKague. Student are urged to join in the election process, not only by voting, but also by running. As McKague said, "the student council is only as effective as the group elected." Voting will be held May 3-6 and Saturday, May 7, in the College Union. Times for the voting will be from 9 a.m.-2:30p.m. and 4-9 p.m. during the week. There are no times as of yet for the Saturday voting. Before the elections there will be an open forum for interested students, according to Commissioner of Student Recommendations John Fernandes. The forum will "give candidates the opportunity to debate the issues," said Fernandes.

letic Director Bert Bonnano, the reason is economic. 'The basic reasons we cannot offer open time to students are insurance reasons," said Bonnano. "We would be liable for too much." However, Randy Pratt, director of intramural sports at Evergreen, said insurance was not a problem in starting the program be beads. Pratt questioned Bonnano's claim because City College offers intercollegiate sports. "It seems that intercollegiate sports are more of a liability because there are other schools involved," he said. Executive Director of the Institute for Business and Community Developement , Rosa Dellacasa, said, "If it comes through our program, there would be no problem with insurance or liability," said Dellacassa.
