On Thursday, May 9, 2013, Chabot College held a Memorial Day event honoring those who served our country.

The event started with a welcome by Rozen Bondoc, Todd Steffan, and Honor Guard by Travis AFB.

Chabot’s own campus safety officer Nate Moore also gave a speech during the ceremony as well.

Michael Bon spoke at the event and asked why memorial day is important. “[On] Memorial day people are happy because there is no school or no work and we can go and have a barbeque with the

family but do we know what really is the meaning of memorial day?”

That question really made those who attended the event think hard. Especially because when peo-ple think of Memorial day, they think it’s a day to have fun but everyone needs to see what the mean-ing of Memorial day is really about.

Patrick Krouse, president of Las Positas College Student Veterans Organization, attended the event and also gave a memorable speech.

During the ceremony, Julie Ramirez, Alameda County Blue Star mom and founder, gave a speech and talked about her life and her son who served in the army.

The last speech was from Chabot history profes-sor Mark Stephens, who spoke about the importance of having this event at Chabot and also showed a video about American Battle Monuments.

On Wednesday, May 15, 2013, the ASCC (Associ-ated Students of Chabot College) held a meeting to meet the new incoming student Senators.

The new student senators will be serving for the 2013 and 2014 semesters.

The Senators are President Erika Cortez, Vice-President Christopher Gutierrez, Financial Direc-tor Luis Flores, Communications Director Krystina Ludovico , Event coordinator Lidia Calderon , Leg-islative Director Nazma Haroon , Secretary Kisha Thompson , and Student Trustee Ricardo Pinto Filho.

Over 400 students voted during the student elec-

tion and the entire student Senators are planning to work hard.

Chabot’s New ASCC President Erika Cortez ex-plained what things she would do to make Chabot and Chabot’s students feel better in Chabot’s cam-pus “I am happy as the role I got as President and I am really excited but at the same time nervous and what I really want is change in Chabot and want to bring more unity to students and want students to be involve and know more the ASCC and so students know they can come to the ASCC and bring ideas to the student Government and I want there to be more events were students will be more involve and I re-ally want to bring life to Chabot.” Erika also

SSCC Bylaws Revision

Chabot students will have a more ac-countable student government as a result of a revision to one of the student senate’s governing documents.

“To interact with students, identify [their] needs and priorities, and advocate for them,” said Student Senate of Chabot College (SSCC) Senator Luis Flores by way of describing the primary duties of the student senate.

Flores indeed advocated for students when he sought revision on the SSCC By-laws, which included the clarification of roles and frequency of meetings of the Ju-dicial Review Committee (JRC). Current members of the senate voted unanimously to pass his proposal.

Thus, instead of meeting once every semester before the last student senate meeting, the JRC will have to meet every month as part of the revision that will take effect in the next academic year 2013-2014.

The JRC is responsible for reviewing student senate stipends and identifying members who are not in compliance with their responsibilities set forth by the bylaws. According to Senator Nakisha Thompson, “This is to ensure that every

[senate member] is on top of their specified du-ties that they were sworn in to do.”The SSCC Bylaws is a governing document that stipulates responsibilities and qualifications of each student senate member. “The bylaws are very important; it helps the new senate,” Thompson stated.

There are eight remaining senators as of late. Removal of some senators was due to failure to attend required meetings, while some members did not “follow through with their ‘promise’ to be [representatives] of the student body.”“As a result [of the revision], students will have a more accountable government,” Flores adds.

Trying to find words meaningful in the descrip-tion of these past five years at Chabot could be a wasteful thought experiment.

I never had a clue of what I’d do when I got here, just a naive assumption that once here ev-erything would fall flat into place and I’d sud-denly find myself pursuing a major in something.

I was sitting with my friend and former Spec-tator opinion columnist Alex Miranda, talking about the old days around the newsroom like his near miss with a lawsuit for an opinion article where he blasted KCRH and its fraternity style management, as I loaded in a few Adobe PDFs on my laptop.

The screen reflected the data I looked for, statistical information on the students at Chabot College, and my pointer fell on the student trans-fer information. Out of the average 13,400 stu-dents attending the 2011-2012 school year, only 647 students transferred to a university. 647 out of 13,000 students, a figure that my limited sta-tistics training estimated was around four or five percent of students attending.

“That’s a bummer,” he said after I showed him the screen.

I ask myself, why did I keep on trucking forward? What force motivated me to keep this uphill climb in our decaying educational system just to transfer to another equally rotting institu-tion for the upcoming fall? Bill Johnson might have been the very instrumental piece I had been looking for when I came to Hayward those years

ago, scurrying away from the Oakland ghettos with whatever hope I carried in my pocket.

It was Fall 2008 when then Spectator adviser Bill Johnson invited me to write for the school’s newspaper, I accepted and was assigned a story that was promptly put on the back of page two of the news section a week later. My second semester at Chabot and I was hooked. I began a three year romance with journalism while climbing the Spectator’s ranks from Editor-in-Chief to a final semester in 2010 where I cre-ated the newspaper’s only automotive section to ever exist and published automotive reviews.

To Bill Johnson, his newspaper students were the next generation of reporters, the next of kin in his beloved profession and he was im-planting the ideals and fundamentals of journal-ism into all of us, brow beating and growling until we performed at a level the old daily re-porter would seem fit in a real newsroom. He did this for 20 years at Chabot, from 1988 until his last semester in the Fall of 2009. He inspired hundreds of individuals and some who today still carry on in the field all over the country working for outfits like the Las Vegas Sun or Ridgecrest’s Daily Independent.

I’ve spent my share of time at Chabot, too much for one life time during the worst recession this schizophrenic nation has seen. The journey, in retrospect, was worth it. The friendships I’ve harbored, connections I’ve built and cemented, and experiences I’ve gathered here egged me forward.

These numbers, like the dismal transfer rates,

are just another psychological weapon in use. But a person can only accept failure for so long. And eventually they’ll fight back.

mentioned “I want to let especially the new freshman that are coming to Chabot about Chabot’s clubs and so they can get involve and so they know that there is a student Govern-ment.”

Chabot’s new ASCC Vice President Chris-topher Gutierrez also explained what things he is going to do and how does he feel about be-ing the new Vice President “I am excited about being Vice President and I will make sure the executives carry on with their tasks because we have to make sure the executives are doing their work and especially me as Vice President

I have to be checking on the executives.” Guti-errez also mentioned what things he is going to do to make Chabot a better place for students “I am going to make sure that all of the students are available to access the internet because the internet access its not that good here at Chabot and so that is why I am going to change that here at Chabot and make internet access better for students.”

Both of the new candidates made great promises and students at Chabot are really ex-cited to see what new things the new Chabot Senators are going to do.

saying, “This is the time of the year that we should really just focus on student accomplish-ments and we’re looking ahead to the additional students we will be contracting in our fine pro-grams.” He proceeded to talk about the impor-tance of the business career students have chosen and how it is a vital occupation for our commu-nity and nation at large.

There were a total of 33 award recipients in this year’s award ceremony which split the awards into: individual class awards, support team learning assistants tutor awards and spe-cific major awards. As students were called up to receive their awards, a slide was shown that expressed their accomplishments and strong characteristics which made them worthy of the award they were receiving. Students were then presented with a certificate and a copy of their slide which was given by business faculty mem-bers.

Pee Xiong, recipient of the BUS 10, Business Law Award, was recognized for her excellent work in class. She achieved a perfect score in Business Law which was a first in this class and was described as being “a superior student who is very helpful with her classmates.”

Upon receiving her award Xiong said, “I’m excited. I was surprised I got nominated but these types of things give you the energy to work harder.”

The ceremony proceeded to highlight the stu-dents and included a raffle with gift cards to the Chabot Bookstore. Everyone present in the room was extremely proud and happy for all the stu-

dents who received an award.Norberto Ruiz, Business faculty member

said, “It’s a great way to celebrate and these types of events are always good. We hear a lot

of bad news so it’s great to be able to do some good news. People here need to be recognized for all the good things they do and it is great to highlight these people in these events.”

From May 7-11, 2013, Chabot College Theater Arts Presented Emerging Works, an 18 year tradition where students share origi-nal plays.

Rachel LaPell, the host of Emerging Works intro-duced each play and recog-nized each play writer to the audience.

The show opened with “Cooking” by Tristan Ste-venin, which was directed by Robert Christopher. The story follows Tony (Tristan Stevenin), a new hired cook faced with trials with his new job. He is faced with his co-workers initiation process, dealing with his controlling boss, while also falling in love with a fellow employee.

“My favorite part of the

play was Cooking’ says, Pe-ter Sayaseng. “I thought it was hilarious, the actors did a great job interacting with each other.”

The second act was a reading written by Andrew Domingues and directed by Rachel LePell. The read-ing focuses on the character Lorenzo, who is dealt with struggles in his life such as drugs, gangs, family, etc. The students stood on stage while expressing their lines to the crowd.

“Bittersweet” was writ-ten by Evan Lopez, and di-rected by Marc Dellamorte. The story revolves around a family struggling to keep their hope as they wait at the hospital to hear whether or not their son survived from a fatal gun shot wound.

“Tina”, was written and directed by Vince Og-

den. The story follows two couples experimenting with drugs and it’s horrible con-sequences in what resulted as a suicide.

The last act was “Lady Lion and the Lot Lizard” written and directed by Reina Medina Boone. The story follows Lady Lion (Marissa Flores) a truck

driver who stumbles upon

Rhoda, (Destiny M. Mon-tenegro) a 15-year-old pregnant girl. Along the way, Rhoda gives birth and decides to leave her baby with Lady Lion and Grey Goose (Johnna Joy Murch), a fellow truck driver. Leav-ing Lady Lion to decided whether to adopt the baby or put it up for adoption.

“You go in and your ner-

vous and other times you go in and you kill it and I think tonight everybody got it and got the work done and killed it”, says DeSean Smith ,who played Big V in Tina.

After the show, the audi-ence had the opportunity to discuss and ask questions with the writers about their work.

VOICES: What movie are you looking forward this summer?

Jyra Valenzuela/Staff Photo

On a Tuesday afternoon in May most would figure that

many students would be either going home to

do homework, hang out with friends

after school, or getting ready

for the fi-nals in

t h e i r

classes. The Chabot Gladiator’s

Women’s Soccer Team, on the other hand, are instead prepping for the begin-ning for their season, which doesn’t come until the fall semester.

Chabot Women’s Soccer hopes to improve from their record from the previous season, where they believe they can make it to the post-season and make a run for the State Championships.

Apart from making it to the postseason, Chabot also

hopes to prove that they can finish games

with with

wins instead of ties; where they had five from the pre-vious season.

“We expect to do well,” said Chabot’s sophomore defender Tatiana Arteaga. “We want to score a lot of goals. We also want to have a lot of girls out here and have a good team.”

Chabot right defender, Samantha Shell, had the same anticipation for next season as she feels that the team can do very well.

The Kinesiology major said, “We hope to make it to the playoffs and doing well in our season. Our expecta-tions are to win all of our games and to come up with

fewer ties.”Chabot finished the

2012 season with an 8-6-5 (6-5-2) record last sea-son which placed them in fourth place and they feel that they can definitely im-prove upon that; especially when they finished behind schools by the likes of San Francisco City College, Ohlone and Los Positas in that order.

With the 2013 season rapidly approaching the Women’s Soccer Team they will continue to prac-tice throughout the sum-mer.

Their hopes to be-come the champions of the

Coast-North Conference and the state of California.
