According to Council of Representatives (COR.) Secretary junior Vincent Nugyen, about 45 percent of freshmen cast their votes during the two day open-ballot. "As opposed to years past, almost half of the freshman class voted in the elections," Nugyen said. These statistics show a increase in participation from years past: '95 showed 42 percent participation, '96 showed slightly more than one third, '97 showed 25 percent and '98 slightly more than one fourth. Vincent, who is from Mil- waukie, Ore., said her main goal for this year is "to get an opportunity for everyone to get to know the freshman class." Vincent explained, "I do not want anyone to feel like an outcast as a first year student. We need to come together and do something great for each other and the community for all our four years.'' She added that the increased role of women leaders in student government, who hold all four freshman class office positions, is positive change for the College. "Today's sqciety has made it possible for a woman to hold leadership positions," Vincent said. "This could not have occurred years ago."

Ideas Vincent has for the year" s Michelle Vincent. events include holding a Valentine's Day dance to be thrown by the freshman class, excursions to amusement parks and fundraising events.

Committee to Voice Student Concerns ■ COR by Steve Alvarado QCAsst. News Editor The Council of Representative (COR), in collaboration with President Katherine Haley Will, have established a mutual agreement to form a student committee that would mediate the concerns ofthe College to senior staff officials. Though an offical meeting time between COR and the senior staff has not been scheduled, senior COR President Rene Islas believes that this initiative will give students the opportunity to voice their opinions on issues regarding the College. Islas had originally planned to sponsor a review ofthe administrative departments on campus that would evaluate how students' needs are being served. However, it was decided that an open senior staff meeting would be more appropriate to discuss student issues. "After several discussions with Will," Islas said. "It was suggested that meeting with the senior staff officials in an open meet ing seems more inviting than forming a departmental review board." "It would also be beneficial for COR to meet with al I the senior staff members so that each offical is aware of the issues students raise," he added The issues which COR has outlined to discuss with the senior staff are student concerns which were raised during last semester's open forum. These concerns deal with the growth of the College, largely based on the freshman class enrollment [see QC Issue 1, Volume 86 ]. COR and the senior staff will also discuss the advancement of technological services on-campus and the.management and allocation of College funds. "[COR's] presentation to the senior staff will focus on the basic priorities that student have questioned," Islas said. This has been the first year where COR has been invited to attend the senior staff meeting. This is due partly to Will's dedication to student involvement in the College, according to Islas. "Will has taken an interest to consider students apoint of view," Islas said. "This wouldn't have been possible without her support." According to Islas, he hopes that this mutual agreement between College officials and the student body will become a yearly tradition. Associate Professor of Mathematics Dave Garland, who has advised COR concerning their meeting with the senior staff, believes that this opportunity would "give students a real voice in the whole government ofthe College." The senior staff is composed of Will, Dean of Enrollment Urmi Kar, Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty David Muller, Dean of Students Susan Allen, Director of Advancement Joseph Zanetta and Interim Vice President for Finance and Administration Hoang Hau. COR will announce the results ofthe meeting at a later date. Islas stresses the importance of communication between students and College officials. "By having a well defined relationship with the staff of the College, students concerns may be met," Islas said.
