Money, without a doubt, is one of the most controversial aspects of the lives of people. Where do you get it, and how do you get it? And after you get it, you ask yourself what are you supposed to do with it? Money has never been something people could use or delegate easily, especially the people within the government.
Though Chabot students do not constitute an official nation or state, they still have a working government, or a student government, if you prefer.
Chabot's student government is known as the ASCC, the Associated Students of Chabot College. They are the group of people that handle such things as student scholarships, clubs, and special events such as the recent blood drive.
However, there are more plans in store for this semester. According to the ASCC agenda, there is a plan to fund Club Day. Club Day is a time for the existing clubs to promote their own group and to help attract new members to join.
According to Renato Ramento, director of communications for the ASCC, they are also planning to help promote Club Day by putting up the flyers, and being face-to-face with the students.
"We are also going to help the clubs promote themselves and gain their target members. We are also going to help promote Club Day by informing them about club day and showing them lists of the clubs participating," Ramento said.
There are other plans the ASCC have for the students this semester as well. Ramento states, "We are also trying to make students more actively involved with the college, and become more involved with the community at large. We also have speakers coming on and off campus. We are planning to have them speak on health awareness for Black History Month and domestic violence awareness month as well as sexual abuse awareness month."
Other ASCC funding is often used for scholarships for students. "There is always a certain amount of funds set aside for the ASCC, events, and as events come up, we plan a budget for the event ..." said Ramento. "...Which goes to a vote by the Senate and must pass by a two-thirds vote. We also set aside an amount for the book scholarships."
