In this leg of the semester, the ASCC has just recently filled the position of Inter-Club Council chair, an important position to all the clubs on campus.
The new ICC chair, Curtis Ballard, has high hopes for all the clubs and their involvement on campus.
"We welcome participation to unite the school, like it should be," said Ballard.
Before the position was filled, the on-campus activities seem to happen few and far between.
The ICC chair acts as the liaison between all clubs and the student govern-ment, and is responsible for the coordinating multi-club functions, such as Club Day.
The first Club Day, Oct. 10, suffered a disappointing lack of participation among the students, even though many of the clubs were present.
At the most recent Club Day, Hallo-ween (Oct. 31), there was a huge turnout. Many people attended to enjoy the free food, music and candy, and visited tables setup by various clubs and organizations.
Club Day is mainly to get the students of Chabot College involved with clubs. Ballard believes that "more information about the clubs, more Club Days and events" will "address this exact issue."
The ICC will soon be starting a newsletter and Web site to further inform students.
As of now, there are 24 official clubs, ranging from ethnic backgrounds to cultural lifestyles and politics to religion. Several other clubs are awaiting approval at the time of this report.
The office of Student Life can provide a list of the clubs that a student can obtain by visiting Room 2355 in Building 2300, above the cafeteria.
Student Life is also the place to go if one wants to start a club of his or her own.
