Stanley running-mate Stacie Jackson was elected vice president by 178 votes.

Stanley and Jackson both ran unapposed.

Fourteen-year-old Ian Chamberlin also ran unapposed for vice president of communications, receiving 172 votes.

The only contested position, vice president of fiscal affairs, was won Aaron Verdugo by 159 votes. Vice President of Fiscal Affairs candidate Eric Sloan lost by 52 votes, receiving 107 votes.

All of the newly-elected ASMCC officers are adhering to their platforms, which make student-involvment a priority.

"We can’t progress forward without people helping us, so I want to encourage students to get more involved in the school," Stanley said.

Verdugo intends to increase student involvement through extra-curricular activites.

"There are so many clubs and activities students can get involved with after school that will help the students out in the long-run," Verdugo said.

Chamberlin intends to promote ASMCC as an organization that can greatly benefit students.

All ASMCC elects want the student body to understand their "for the students" philosophy.

Ten votes were discarded because of discrepancies.

Students were also able to vote for Advisers and Teachers of the Year.

Advisers of the Year were Joan Cooks of the Black Student Union and Miguel Lucas of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (M.E.Ch.A).

Teacher of the Year awards went to Breanda Nielsen, a Computer Information Systems instructor from MCC’s Red Mountain campus, and Doug Conway, a Social Sciences instructor.

Also receiving Teacher of the Year recognition was Jesus Peralta, MCC social sciences instructor, and John Payne, MCC math instructor.

Payne received the same award in 1999.
