Student body elects new reps Pam Luke The Puyallup Post
At the recent candidate forum, when asked what made a good leader, newlyelected Representative II Linsey Collier said a leader should do more than give orders. “To be a good leader, a representative should be willing to listen and take the advice of others,” Collier said. Collier was insistent about giving her all to the position and committing a big portion of her time to the school. “I have a part-time job, but I’m willing to put in a lot of hours at school to do the job right,” she said. Collier’s previous leadership experience was as captain of her swim team, as a senior track athlete and as a member of the honor society. Newly-elected Representative I Paul Warden is concerned about many issues on campus. He is especially interested in Pierce College-Puyallup being granted full campus status. “Full campus status means more classes, more teachers, more clubs and even more buildings. We deserve this and can’t take no for an answer,” Warden said. Warden also is concerned with promoting diversity on campus. “As the A.W.A.R.E. Vice President, I want to promote awareness about other cultures. Anybody, no matter what they look like, or what they believe in should feel welcome,” he said. Warden is a second-year student and in addition to his being a member of A.W.A.R.E., he also has worked in the campus library. Lisa Sims and Elizabeth Pearson canpaigned against Warden.

ACSPC President Sean Culver speaks at the candidate forum on Oct 8. that one of her goals was to raise student involvement. “Enthusiasm is contagious. We need to spread the word. I’d like to connect the students to the school, and help them to be better connected with each other. I’d like to try and mesh the day and night students a little more,” Sims says she would make a good representative because she is willing to make a strong alliance with the students. “I’m open to hearing all their concerns, and I want to keep them informed,” she said. Her previous experience for the position was having been a member of Student Council at another school. Pearson said one of her big concerns for the Puyallup campus is the transit issue. “I’m a bus rider, and I would like to educate the students regarding the possibility of no bus service to the campus. It’s

so dangerous to turn out of the college because there is no turn lane,” said Pearson. “The transit forums in November will be important.” Pearson is a second-year student and has been an officer in 4-H, Photo club and International club. She also has been a member of the drama club and the speech team. The elections for Representative I and II were on Oct 13 and 14.

The new Sport Court—a recreation area that will allow students to have fun, and interact instead of waiting around on a bench for their next class— will be finished Oct. 19. The blacktop-surfaced sporting area features both pickle ball and basketball. The opening of the Sport Court will be followed by a three on three basketball tournament, after which students will be allowed to sign out equipment.
