can provide. They decided to provide a service that will have campus safety that will carry a firearm, but will
not be a police force on campus. They are making sure that there are standards and training in place before
giving firearms to security on campus.
Jones- President of the Basketball Club, the club is now able to have other players outside of school to come
play games as long as they have a consent form given to Jones. Thursdays from 12:00pm-1:30pm are when the

Flood- External Affairs Senator, at General Assembly a resolution was passed that allows students to contact

ask him after council. The next General Assembly will be in May.

VIII. Reports
8.01 Inter-Club Council Report
8.02 Senator Reports
A Hernandez- Senator of Educational Planning, Reviewed the survey the committee put out. Looked at program
reviews around the school, and compared to last year we filled out a lot more program reviews.
N. Hernandez- Senator of Budget, Spent 11 million since the beginning of the school year, and we are in the red
a little bit as of now. Looking to move money to compensate for that debt
Chian- Senator of Enrollment, The meeting held yesterday talked about the data about students who took
classes during intercession and summer. There was no significant difference between the years that did or didn’t
have intercession and summer classes. Some new legislation on dual enrollment bars college students from
taking high school courses.
Nabulsi- Senator of Honors, Went to academic and honors meeting this week. At honors they are splitting the
department of social sciences into three departments. They approved the 2016 flex calendar. The Senators’ job
during academic senate was to determine which programs were signature programs here on campus. Some were
ASG, the art program, the honors program, STEM, and others. The honors program is getting brand new
computers.
8.03 Director Reports
Gagnon- Director At-Large, Movie night tonight!
Orrillo- Director of Athletics, The men’s team finished with a record of 9-6-6. The women’s team are moving
on to the first round of regionals. If anyone can get big cardboard boxes for Winterfest that would be a great
help. Athletics committee please meet after Council
Williams- Director of Journalism, Newsletter is finally done! Meeting with Jordan to hopefully approve it!
Hatch- Director of Community Service, Need volunteers for tomorrow from 6:00pm-10:00pm
Berry- Director of Public Relations, Introduced himself and if anyone is interested in joining his committee

around
Underwood moves to Suspend the Orders of the Day and move to 7.03, Seconded by Gagnon
8.04 Executive Reports
Spence- Last year $7,000 was given out for scholarships. Thinking of giving out six scholarships at $500 and a
few at $1,000. They will have the same requirements of a 3.0 GPA. Gagnon is opposed to the idea. Students
will be able to apply for scholarships in January. Orillo suggested that the requirements should be adjusted.
EOPS is asking for $1000 from us for their holiday expenses. Guardian Scholars are asking to add $2000 to
their $3000 budget for next semester. Underwood commented that funding those programs is good, but if it’s
coming from the ASG budget then it is almost a tax from the students. Manriquez disagrees with Underwood
and is for the idea.
Gaughan- Tonight is the November Health and Wellness movie Night at 7:00pm-10:00pm. Setup starts at
6:00pm.
Pham- Tomorrow is ASG 101.02 from 1:30pm-4:00pm!! Trivia will be the first activity, and the second activity
will be the maze game. Lastly will be a scavenger hunt around campus. There will be no meetings during that
time.
Underwood- The Vice President of Senate Impeachment Trial has been called into question by the District, and
Underwood read a letter from the District.

Please inform students about new information provided to you about safety on campus and other important
issues on campus. The position of an assistant in Student Life has been filled. SLI has been a very successful
program, and thanks to those who took part in the SLI program.
8.06 Board of Trustee Liaison Report
This past weekend Manriquez went to SSCCC. Hopes that students will be able to attend next semester. For the
Student Life and Leadership Refund Process, they are creating a refund form and have put in an ITS request.
