Higher educationProposition 30 is an initiative on the upcoming November ballot asking Californians to help fund public education and services by raising per-sonal income taxes and sales taxes.

The temporary taxes to fund education, called the Guaranteed Local Public Safety, Funding initiative Constitutional Amendment, will increase the personal in-come tax for those earning over $250,000 in a fiscal year, which will last seven years.

The sales tax will also go up by a quarter of a cent for four years.

Governor Jerry Brown is behind this initiative, support-ing the stop of major cuts to our schools of over $6 billion and steep rises in college tu-ition.

“These cuts have also eliminated jobs for many of our colleagues. Each cut has a broad impact not only on col-leges, but on our surrounding community. Loss of jobs also equals a reduced tax revenue that funds public services of all sorts.” Kelley added.

For Chabot students, the

measure would mean a big help to recover from past budget cuts. In a statement submitted by Academic Sen-ate President Kathy Kelley, “ Proposition 30 as well as Measure I will make up for the major cuts in revenue to Chabot and other educational institutions.”

On top of what has already been taken, California’s edu-cation budget this year counts on funds raised by Proposition 30. The failure of this propo-sition would mean a loss of $125 million in tuition pay-back and a 7.5 percent budget

Measure IMeasure I for Chabot and Las Positas Commu-nity Colleges (CCLPD) is on the ballot Nov. 6, bringing funds that will go directly into our classrooms.

Measure I is a spe-cial parcel tax taken based on property in the districts of Alam-eda and Contra Costa counties that will help sustain CCLPD through the state of California’s budget cuts that have already been so devas-tating to the quality of higher education stu-dents are receiving.

Kathy Kelley, aca-demic senate president at Chabot, stated that, “Prior cuts of the past two years have already reduced our enrichment programs, our services to community members - such as sports, health, arts, music and perfor-mance classes.”

According to the official ballot measure submittal form from the County of Alameda, the funds will go spe-cifically to “updating classroom technology; maintaining core aca-demic classes, such as math, science and Eng-lish; preserving student support services; and preparing students to transfer to four-year uni-versities.” The measure will also maintain job training in healthcare, technology, and public safety around campus.

Included in the stat-ues of Measure I are regulations; one dictates a Citizen’s Oversight committee for how the revenue from this leg-islature will be spent. Statements ensure that funds provided by Mea-

sure I will not be used for administrator’s sala-ries and that funds are expressly forbidden from being taken away by the State. Per the ballot argument, “Ev-ery penny will stay at Chabot College and Las Positas College.”

On Sept. 18, 2012, faculty and staff spent many hours in those meetings as each depart-ment proposed a full 15 percent cut from their programs if Proposition 30 and Measure I don’t pass a 2/3 vote by tax-payers. Many of these cuts effectively elimi-nate majors and cer-tificate programs once plentiful at Chabot. Kel-ley also confided that faculty and staff have done what they could with the full support of administration in “deci-sion making that will do the least harm, while meeting the mandate to cut, should that be

necessary if these measures do not pass.”“Only $28 per year per property for

Measure I in our service area will provide the funds that were cut, plus enough to re-build Chabot and Las Positas Colleges to what they were before this budget crisis.” Kelley continued, “We have held dozens of hours of meetings to get a broad perspective of the impact any specific cut may have on a student’s progress through our programs.”

If passed, this measure would go into effect on July 1, 2013 and would last for

six years, yielding close to an estimated $33 million from the nearly 200,000 par-cels counted in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Local support includes professor Francisco Zermeno, Hayward city council-man; Senator Ellen M. Corbett; and mem-ber of the Alameda Tax Payer Association, Patrick M. Lofft.

Chabot student said, “It’s extremely important, be-cause we have been getting cut for the past two years, which is ridiculous. The importance more to me is if Prop 30 does not pass … We’re looking at a 7 percent cut from what we have al-ready, and certain divisions have been cut up to 19 per-cent. It might be more and that is really important to me.”

The Hayward Area Rec-reation and Park District is planning to make some changes to Kennedy Park in Hayward and San Lorenzo Park, also known to the lo-cals as “Duck Pond Park.”

The three-acre pond in the center of the park, which attracts many ducks

and birds from the Hayward Shoreline, is located at the rear of the park.

According to the San Lorenzo Park’s master pre-ferred plan, it shows a new-er, much smaller pond and a connection to Kennedy Park, located on the other side of the Skywest Golf Course, which is also owned by H.A.R.D. Other new fea-tures include new ball fields, a basketball court, new play-ground features, new dog park, picnic areas and an ex-panded parking lot with 416 spaces.

Kennedy Park, located in Hayward at the San Lo-renzo border, is one of the Hayward area’s popular parks. The park has features other Hayward parks lack including a train ride, an

animal farm offering pony rides and a petting zoo, a snack bar and a merry-go-round. Kennedy Park also hosts the Hayward Zucchini Festival, which held its 30th annual festival at the park last month.

The aging park is cur-rently under a planning pro-cess and a community meet-ing with the designers was held at the park last week.

They are seeking the local community’s input on the changes.

The Hayward Area Rec-reation and Park District, the largest recreation district in California, owns and op-erates parks and recreation services to the area includ-ing Hayward, Castro Valley, San Lorenzo and the unin-corporated districts of Ash-land, Cherryland and Fair-view since 1944.

Nine teams competed in the first-ever Bare Bones Bar-becue Competition at the Eat Real Festival.

Josh Ozersky, founder of Meatopia, created the competition where con-testants must use the same proteins, grill and fuel pro-vided by the organizers. “I wanted to get back-to-the-basics and create a con-test for barbecue experts,” said Ozersky.

The bare bones phi-losophy focuses on meat,

smoke, fire and the art of natural barbecue and moves away from the usage of unnatural techniques. “It’s all about their skill and seasonings,” said Ozer-sky. The contestants are not allowed to use injections, phosphates, monosodium glutamate, aluminum foil or power as in conventional barbecue contests.

The teams had three presentations of pork ribs, beef ribs and lamb breast with ribs and were judged on the criteria of appear-ance, taste, texture and cre-ativity.

The Bare Bones Barbe-

cue Competition is a new addition to the Eat Real Festival. The festival cel-ebrates food with the mis-sion to build public aware-ness and respect for the craft of making good food. “The concept of bare bones fits into it, you don’t need technology to make good barbecue,” said Ben Lo-benstein, contest organizer.

The teams traveled from as far away as the East Coast to participate in the competition. Doug Keiles, pit master of barbecue team Ribs Within and chef on Food Network’s Chopped Grill Master, traveled from New Jersey when his team was asked to participate in the California contest.

“We are happy with the taste of our product,” said Kiles. Jonathan Knopf from the team Ribs Within explained, “Everyone has the same cooker. It comes down to flavor and flavor is what is going to set them apart.”

Ozersky hopes that this contest will become a new paradigm and inspire oth-ers to have their own bare bones contests. “It’s a new approach to go forward in barbecue, we must go back to the past basics.”

Closer and closer many students at Chabot are getting closer to their goal in transferring in 2012, but many don’t know what to

expect or many of the requirements needed to transfer.

Chabot College offers many different transfer programs that should be aware of yet many students aren’t aware of the resources that our school has to offer.

The bes t way to ge t more information is to visit the Career and Transfer Center in building 700 on the second floor. The Transfer Center will have all your transfer questions answered. They also have a list of all of the workshops for the fall 2012 semester so it would be good to pick one up to keep track of.

Bianca Sparrow is an assistant at the Career and Transfer Center. When asked what students should b e a w a r e a b o u t t r a n s f e r r i n g Sparrow simply said, “Two of the most important things are deadlines and the letter application process.”

These workshops have their many benefits for students, “you can set up appointments with representatives from CAL and East Bay” added Sparrow. This is a huge opportunity for those seeking to transfer just due to the fact that you can meet with a counselor from a school you plan on attending. Also, it is free of charge.

The Puente program has been a huge help for the Latino community of Chabot in the help of giving the Latino students the sources they need for transferring. The program was founded in 1981 by Felix

Galaviz and Patricia McGrath at Chabot College and in its success has helped give many Latino students scholarships.

According to their website http://www.puente.net, the main mission of the Puente program is to “increase the number of educationally disadvantaged students who enroll in four-year colleges and universities, earn college degrees and return to the community as mentors and leaders to future generations.”

“I like that our school offers these helpful workshops, I become more aware of the school I am going to transfer to”, said Laura Hernandez, a student at Chabot.

The next workshop will be on Tues. Oct. 2 at 12:00 P.M. in room 758 in which the workshop will be based on UC personal statement. If you ever wonder what you need in order to transfer or even if you want more information make sure to visit the Career and Transfer Center in building 700 Also visit their website www.chabotcollege.edu/counseling/TECS/ for further information.

Chabot College is known for having some of the best programs in Arts and Multi-media, where students are allowed to repeat some courses for more experience.

Repeating courses does not implicate that a student has failed a class and returned to gain experience. But those who receive a passing grade are given permission to take a class again, where they can apply what they learned directly in the field.

One of the most popular majors in Chabot is Mass Communications, which includes Radio and Television Broadcasting and Journalism. Both require a great deal of communication, team work, and skills in order to work on a professional level. This is why many students in Radio and Television are able to repeat certain advanced classes up to four times. For those who are very passionate about their major, this is a very important part of their education.

“I’ve been in the Radio program for three years, and have my own Hip-Hop show which focuses on Top-40 and local talents”, said Alan “The Next Level” Samsung of KCRH Radio. He added, “If I wasn’t allowed to repeat the advanced Radio class

which is the only way to be a part of the staff, I wouldn’t have been able to kick-start my own show and follow through with my career as an On-Air Dj.”

Now, students are no longer allowed to repeat classes upon

receiving a C grade of higher, or P (Pass). According to the new campus policy, “Students are limited to two attempts to repeat a course for the purposes of raising a substandard grade (D,F, and NP)” and “may not repeat courses that are limited to

one attempt in which they received passing grades of A, B, C, or P.” (Counseling/Repeating Classes Policy)

“There are classes now which allow students to remain in Radio and Television programs as a one unit Colloquium-Mass Communications class (MCOM-9)”, according to Professor Chad Mark Glen.

This for example, allows students to take this class which isn’t a Major requirement, but simply an independent study course. Professor Glen also explained some reasons for these changes, by allowing students to repeat most courses will be an issue for new students who have low Priority Numbers, limiting them to register weeks after continuing students.

With classes being limited to size, and late adds, these changes encourage students to take what they do in college more serious. So for those who are affected by the changes concerning repeating any classes, we encourage them to continue following their passion, and dedicate as much time to the classes they are currently enrolled in.

Did you know you can get a dental cleaning right here at Chabot?

On the backside of building 2200 you wouldn’t know that there’s a dental hygiene clinic. In fact it’s open to the public. It’s rated five stars on Yelp, and yet not a lot of students are aware of this. Not to mention it’s all done by students.

The clinic offers complete dental hygiene services which consist of dental cleanings, deep cleanings, oral cancer screenings, full mouth x-rays, sealants and more. Not to mention the prices are crazy cheap, and Chabot students, with proof of enrollment receive half off.

A regular cleaning is about $30 here on campus. However, at a private practice that could cost close to $700. X-rays range from $25-$50 here on campus but at a private practice that would cost you $150-$200.

Usually a patient has to undergo a series of appointments for completion normally two to three visits, maybe even four, timing out at about two and a half hours a piece so you are paying with your time as well but as Benjamin Franklin once said, “He that can have patience can have what he will.”

The members of the staff that will be working on your teeth are students and future dental hygienists.

JoAnn Gall iano, program director explained, “Depending on the degree of work needed you can get a first year or second year student. Teacher to student ratio is 1-to-5 so students can reach their full potential and all work is overseen by a faculty member. Dental Hygiene students

are also taught nutrition, how to take blood pressure, pharmacology, radiology etc…”

Students are the biggest marketers for the program, using public relations by word of mouth. So if you see anybody walking around in nurse scrubs on campus stop them and speak with them, chances are there dental hygienist students.

For more information and pricing information go to the clinics website at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/dhyg/.

Also, the clinic is planning to be a part

of Chabot’s upcoming health fair in the month of October this year.

Finding friends at a community college can be a daunting task for many new students. There are a few really good ways to meet people at Chabot.

Start by going to class. Saying a few words here and there to your peers might just lead to a conversation about a common interest. Starting discussion with other students, you could plant a seed that may eventually lead to a friendship.

You can always join a club. Chabot has multiple clubs with a wide variety of topics, and chances are one of them is a club that caters to one of your interests. You can find clubs for most majors, and if you choose a club that corresponds to your major don’t be afraid to volunteer for some of their events.

When you’re out of the classroom studying between classes, stay on campus. Just hanging out somewhere public, like the cafeteria or the library, around other people makes you seem a lot more inviting.

Forming or joining a study group is another great option, and great for everyone involved. When you join a study group you open yourself up to getting to know your classmates a little better while also helping boost your grade. Once everyone in the study group is more comfortable with each other, your peers might be more likely to go out for lunch with the group.

At Chabot, we have a good number of sports teams, and if you’re athletic you can try out for one. We have a good selection of teams including football, basketball, baseball, and plenty more. You can find them on Chabot’s website, www.

chabotcollege.edu. If you have the time, it’s something that would

help you make new friends easily. The ASCC, Chabot’s student government, is

yet another great way to meet other people. The ASCC also gives you an opportunity to help out

with different clubs, and help keep communication open for the staff and students. For more ASCC information, visit www.chabotcollege.edu/ASCC.

Many of us are leaving our childhood and stepping into the doorway of adulthood, most of us a little disap-pointed in the outcome.

Adulthood is not any-thing I expected; I miss when the biggest decision I had to make was what crayon to color with. Al-though rough, growing up and facing new responsibil-ities isn’t that horrible, and I love being an independent college student.

College, however, is ex-pensive. With expenses and the glamorous life of bills and tuition costs, a job is now a necessity. Most col-lege students now work either part or full time in order to pay for their schooling and means of life; both aspects having their ups and downs.

A job during college is great: it adds to your résu-mé, teaches you the basics of customer service, task-related skills, and commu-nication skills.

In an interview, 18-year-old Chabot student Candice Haight says one of the most beneficial aspects of work-ing and attending school is that she is “always staying busy. It allows me to stay very organized because I have to make schedules.”

When asked about her being more responsible presently rather than later in life, Haight states that she is “glad that I learned these aspects now versus later be-cause I won’t be surprised or inexperienced when I start my career.”

In another interview, a Chabot student stated that “working and attend-ing school at the same time teaches me how to manage my time and my priorities, which will help in manag-ing multiple tasks once I’m done with school.”

Although there are many benefits to work-ing and attending school simultaneously, the dis-advantages seem to out-weigh the advantages.

Haight admits that she is often stressed, adding that she prioritizes “usually work over school because if I don’t work, I can’t afford school.” Tuition and course material costs are unbeliev-ably high and continue to rise, and with diminishing financial aid from the gov-ernment, students are run-ning out of options, reach-ing into their own pockets with little to no solutions from outside sources.

On top of that, stu-dents with hectic schedules struggle to find balance and often find themselves ne-glecting their homework or disregarding studying time to sleep, losing friendships or neglecting their romantic and family relationships.

A survey done by the American College Health Association states that 30 percent of students de-scribed themselves as so de-pressed and it was often dif-ficult for them to function.

The juggling act is dif-ficult, breaking the person-ality of many; it is a simple game of “survival of the fit-test.” In fact, according to teendepression.org, two out of 10 college students have

a certain type of mental ill-ness, and by graduation, 19 percent of students contem-plate suicide. In fact, sui-cide is the second leading cause of death for students ages 18 to 24.

The first Chabot student claims that she has felt de-pressed, her charisma fad-ing as she states that “after a long day at work or school, all I wanted to do was go home and sleep for a long time.

I neglected my friends a lot of the time because I was so caught up and stressed out about my crazy sched-ule that I just didn’t want to be around people.” I feel no young adult should ever experience depression to this degree, as there are so many other odds stacked

against us already. We are expected to go

to school and graduate for a better career, yet often times there isn’t a choice but to put our education on hold in order to pay bills and con-tinue working one or more jobs.

It has come to a point that it’s almost impossible for a college student to graduate in four years with-out student loans, debt, de-pression, or a chip on their shoulder.

For more help with plan-ning out your schedule visit one of the counselors in the administration building or schedule an appointment with a counselor.
