With semester now in full swing, this week’s Inter Club Council meeting kicked off with praise for this semester’s Club Day. Activities Program Coordinator Rene Gonzales addressed the assembled club representatives, “I am very proud of the level of professionalism I saw out there.” However, due to the sudden rain on the first day of the club event, recruiters were forced to crowd into the cafeteria. ICC Chairperson Ngan Vu noted that, “…it was a challenge to fit everyone inside,” but all clubs present were able to set up tables and attract new members. Some club representatives noted that many club recruiters could afford to be more out-going. Vu went on to remind club representatives that all clubs on campus must have a consistent representative and a meeting room reserved by the Friday deadline. LIFE Club representative Kevin Feliciano then brought up the issue of ICC attendance with the amassed delegates. Feliciano and other representatives contended that attendance has been an on-going problem with ICC members for the past couple of semesters. A committee was promptly formed, and will convene weekly to surmise the situation and to devise a solution. The Attendance Committee consists of Audrey Harris from Latinos in Science and Technology at Ohlone, Ain Mobeen from the Muslim Student Association, James Renteria of the Business and Economics Club and Dennis Smith of the American Sign-Language Club. Gay/Straight Alliance representative Tim Thu was voted in as the ICC’s new secretary. The sole candidate to be nominated during the session, Thu will begin his work recording minutes for the council immediately, noting that he has “been working with [Vu] for long time.” Thu’s duties will include keep track of events from previous meetings. The Asian-Pacific American Student Association (APASA) renewed its funding request with the ICC the week. Club representative Anthony Ambor took the podium with a request for $172.80 to purchase an ad in the Monitor to campaign for APASA’s efforts in support of the Bone Marrow Registry Guide for Leukemia patients. The ICC approved the funding request, and the request will now move onto the Associated Students of Ohlone College (ASOC,) where it will face its final round of approvals.
