Move quickly to get classes Continued from Page 2 reductions in enrollment and acceptance within the CSU and UC systems. This coming summer 2010 semester, we anticipate a 50 percent reduction in class offerings. As a current, continuing student at Ohlone, you have a leg up on new and former students when you register for spring 2010. Continuing students are allowed to begin registering in mid to late Nov, whereas new and former students will not be able to register until Jan 4. To maximize your chances of getting into the courses you need, the following steps are strongly recommended: • Meet with an Ohlone counselor NOW to help you with your planning • Make sure all your financial obligations to the college are paid or you will not be able to register • As a continuing student you will receive a registration appointment email for spring term. Make sure your email address is accurate NOW by updating your profile on Web Advisor and look for this appointment time. • New student registration is going to be delayed until Jan. 4 to provide continuing students more time to register, but you still need
to act fast to get the classes you want and need. • Plan exactly which courses you want to take. Use the ‘my preferred sections’ in Web Advisor to pre-select your classes, and also monitor other classes for availability. • Register as soon as you are eligible. Try to register for your whole schedule, do not delay, do not procrastinate. If you have friends who are new or former students, let them know they need to be ready to register on Jan. 4. Tell them they need to apply to Ohlone on-line NOW. If they need to take the placement test, they should do that this fall. Give them the same advice we have shared with you about making sure your contact information is accurate. Plan ahead, see a counselor, clear any outstanding debt and register as soon as possible. And speaking of Ohlone counselors, they are invaluable guides as you navigate these tough waters in planning to define and meet your educational goals. Please take advantage of this important service provided by the college. The counseling office is located on the third floor of Building 7. Be proactive. Be self-directed. Be prepared and act quickly.
Blood drive in Newark By Theresa Gutierez Staff writer The American Red Cross set up at the Newark campus Monday, in hopes of reaching their goal of 35 donors equaling 17,500ml of blood. According to Ed Faso, account manager for the American Red Cross, there was a steady flow of people showing up to donate blood. He said their goal would be reached since students are eager to help and have reached the goals in past blood drives held at both the Ohlone campuses. The Red Cross will hold another drive at the main campus Wednesday, Oct. 28 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Every one who donates will receive a hat and the opportunity to enter a drawing for a $60 gift certificate to La Piñata. Anyone who would like to donate at the next drive must be over 16 (with parental consent) or over the age of 17 (no parental consent) and must pass basic requirements of height and weight according to age.
Hillary won’t run Continued from Page 2 leaves us questioning who do we have that speaks for us, now that she is speechless. It also sets a negative precedent that given time we biologically are worn down. And we can only be tested so many times before we fail to take up the causes that we are most vocal about. The only change I see is in what the rhetoric of Clinton has become. Seriously, where did the polarizing Hillary go? Where is the liberal sisterhood of the traveling pantsuit? And have we really lost Hillary the “woman” in our campaign to achieve girl power?
