In the beginning of the ceremony Alexander Collins, who received a Business Student award said, “I don’t really know what to expect. It’s pretty exciting.” Opening remarks were given by Dean Tom Clark who opened the evening by

SSCC Bylaws Revision By Maria Maniego
mmaniego@thechabotspectator.com
Chabot students will have a more accountable 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 Bylaws, which included the clarification of roles and frequency of meetings of the Judicial 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 20132014.

Honoring those who served our country By Omar Gonzalez
ogonzalez@thechabotspectator.com
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 people think of Memorial day, they think it’s a day to have fun but everyone needs to see what the meaning 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 professor Mark Stephens, who spoke about the importance of having this event at Chabot and also showed a video about American Battle Monuments.

SSCC from page 1 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
www.thechabotspectator.com [senate member] is on top of their specified duties 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.
Thursday, May 16, 2013 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.

Opinion Hayward, California

Finally transferring out By Abraham Rodriguez Contributing Writer
Trying to find words meaningful in the description 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 everything would fall flat into place and I’d suddenly find myself pursuing a major in something. I was sitting with my friend and former Spectator 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 transfer information. Out of the average 13,400 students attending the 2011-2012 school year, only 647 students transferred to a university. 647 out of 13,000 students, a figure that my limited statistics 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 institution 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-inChief to a final semester in 2010 where I created 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 implanting the ideals and fundamentals of journalism into all of us, brow beating and growling until we performed at a level the old daily reporter 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,

saying, “This is the time of the year that we should really just focus on student accomplishments and we’re looking ahead to the additional students we will be contracting in our fine programs.” He proceeded to talk about the importance of the business career students have chosen and how it is a vital occupation for our community 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 specific 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 members. 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.
