Senator Jason Trinidad resigned his position of ASOC Parliamentarian on Tuesday. Trinidad said, “I’ve enjoyed serving our student body, but I have many more responsibilities on my plate right now, and I won’t be able to continue upholding this position to the best of my abilities.” The duties of the Parliamentarian include: interpreting the Constitution and Bylaws; oversee the Parliamentary procedures, the Brown Act which pertains to rights of public knowledge, Title 5, which regulates construction of school facilities, and the Education Code; and making sure that the council complies with all the above. Trinidad has some words of wisdom for interested candidates. Trinidad said, “Since you’ll have more to oversee and be responsible for, it is critical that you know your stuff, because everyone will be looking at the Parliamentarian during a situation.” By the end of the next ASOC meeting, President Kevin Feliciano will have appointed a new Parliamentarian from one of our 57 senators. Currently, Ohlone has the largest student senate of all community colleges in California. Also, the March on March 4 will take place in San Francisco. This is another march apart from the one on March 22. There will not be any free transportation for this march. The rally will take place at City Hall, which is near the Civic Center BART Station, from 5 to 7 p.m. Since there are people who will not be able to attend the march on March 22, March 4 provides more opportunities for people to show support to fight the budget cuts. ASOC Legislative Representative Andie Morhous explained, “March 4 is the day of local action, so the major cities of California will be having their own local rallies.” The purpose of both marches is to bring people together in order to voice their opposition the budget cuts. This demonstrates that the needs of Ohlone students are a top priority to the ASOC that was elected to serve our priorities.
