high tuition is used to pay for the instructors, but if the tuition was lowered, then maybe more
students would attend summer classes. The air conditioning are running, LRC and Library
are open, and all the utilities are available but are hardly or not being used due to the low
amount of students enrolled during the summer. Its also hard to pay tuition because of the
economy. There is also not many opportunities for scholarships and no grants during the
summer. The school should try to lower the tuition prices as a trial to see how many students
enroll. It was suggested that Bethany Compton, UH Caucus Rep. for Kauai bring this topic to
the System UH Caucus meeting for discussion. Michael also mentioned that it was
important for student leaders to practice positive decorum and behavior on campus.

gain approval from the KCC Chancellor. Once all of this is completed and approved, the new club
can apply for grant funding from ASUH-KCC Student Government. 2) Attaining New Equipment –

In the past, each building had their own AC control unit, but a decision was made to have a central
control system which is easier to maintain and control but not effective in handling the climate

needed to implement a Journalism program. Funding will support computer equipment, printing and
staff support. Senator Iwatate mentioned that he is going to talk with maintenance to add more
suggestion boxes around campus. 5) Student Government Funding – Advisor Constantino also
mentioned that every KCC student is required to pay a $30 student activity fee each semester that is
managed by the ASUH-KCC Student Government. These funds are then placed into a budget that
support numerous activities on campus, rejuvenation projects, registered independent clubs on
campus and leadership and development. 6) Activity Ideas – Advisor Constantino mentioned that
during functions such as Snack Night, Afternoon Recess, Club Day, etc. Student Government hands
out surveys where students can write their suggestions and list the type of activities they would like
on campus. Advertisement is given via flyer’s and informational white boards. Also, students are
more than welcome to come a Student Activities Committee meeting every Wednesday from 12:15
pm – 1:30 pm to provide input. Student Government is also working on establishing their own e-mail
account to mail directly to students rather than having to go through the Vice Chancellor of Student
Affairs. The intended reason is to efficiently deliver information to the student body.

wondering if Student Government could sponsor the café. It was suggested by Student Life Assistant
Cruz to have a sign or symbol somewhere in the outside café that proves to the students and
community that Student Government sponsored the area. There has been some concerns regarding
bring food into the library. Another concern is competition on campus with the bookstore and the
cafeteria. Advisor Constantino mentioned that it could be good competition for the cafeteria to cut
down their prices and stay open longer. Senator Iwatate suggested that it would be nice if the cafeteria

4. GUEST REPORT
4.1. Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs, Earl Nishiguchi – His office can be found
in the One Stop Center on the second floor. He informed Student Government that
there are currently 1437 registered students, including late registered students. He
also announced that on Wednesday, October 12, 2011 there will be a public hearing on
tuition increase. The location is still TBA, however, it will be held on the KauaiCC
campus. For more information about the intuition increase, go to
www.hawaii.edu/news/intuition. In fact, last week, there have actually been three
proposals on tuition increase in the Garden Island newspaper. Regarding ASUH-KCC
Student Government having their own personal direct email address to students, there
is no other UH of Hawaii campus that has that privilege. However, Earl is still trying to
ASUH-KCC Minutes for 05/06/2011 – Page 1
work things out with his counterpart. Another important topic that was brought up is
Accreditation. It is important that all the members of Student Government get involved and attend
all meetings. On a last note, Earl encouraged everyone in Student Government to brag a little
about the accomplishments Student Government has done.
4.2. Health Education Teacher, Laura Dillman – Advisor John Constantino thought it is a
good idea to invite Laura to the meeting so that Student Government could talk with her about
assisting with the wellness program and creating other activities on campus. Senator Iwatate
talked with Nouvalle Naumu about creating a proposal on purchasing updated equipment. Due to
the lack of time, since it was near the ending of the year, the proposal was never created.

establishing a gym for self-study. A subcommittee will be formed to work with Laura for further
discussion.

4. GUEST REPORT
4.1. Carol Bain – Carol was asked to teach Journalism 205 (news writing). This class will have
a lecture class and a lab with the intent of resurrecting the Kauai CC newspaper entitled, “Ka
Leo O’ KCC”. Carol explained that she was thinking of having a printed source and online
source. Having an online source will make it easier to make updates. The paper will contain
news about the campus, events, stories, articles, etc. The newspaper will be mainly generated
by students and watched over by an advisor and a Board of Publications. All decisions will
also be voted upon by the Board of Publications. The journalism team is leaning towards the
purchase of Mac computers, since it has compatible features as well as excellent graphic
programs. At the moment, Carol is redesigning the old syllabus for the class. Due to the hard
work that is needed to put together a newspaper, the editor and reporters will be granted a small
stipend. This program will be available in Spring 2012.
4.2. Peggy Lakes – Peggy calls herself the “United Way Queen”. She is in charge of the United
ASUH-KCC Minutes for 05/06/2011 – Page 1
Way Fundraiser at Kauai CC. She would like to know if Student Government would like to create
a partnership in doing fun things to fundraise for the United Way. For those who are unaware of
what the United Way is, it is an organization that gathers funds in order to give out grants to
smaller organizations, such as the boys/girl scouts, etc. Peggy wants to fundraise in a way that
will get students, teachers, faculty, and staff to work together. Vice President Stanton and Senator
Compton suggested that Peggy get involved with the Student Activities Committee. Senator
Ueunten suggested that Peggy should get in contact with the Kauai High School Principal about
collecting the cans and bottles from Kauai High. According to Senator Ueunten, while he was
attending school there, there was no type of recycling program that took care of the cans and
bottles. The United Way would like the money turned in during the first week of November.
Peggy stated that she wants to fundraise year round and collect money until it is time to turn in
the money, that way there would be more money to turn in. A flyer was passed around with
information of previous fundraising statistics. She hopes to surpass the amount collected in 2008.
4.2. Eric Knutzen and Bevin Parker-Evans – Erik is the new chair for the Recycling Program in Kauai
CC and is a part of the recycling program Ho’ouluwehi. Ho’ouluwehi deals with zero waste
management, affordable housing, etc. He would like members of Student Government to get
involved and help bring up ideas that will help Kauai CC be more sustainable, as well as the
community. A sign-up sheet was passed around the board for those who are interested in being a
part of the committee. Eric also works with Bevin who is involved with the VISTA HIPCCS Star
Project.

member to see what it’s like before becoming an actual senator.
6. VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORT - Taylor Stanton
6.1. Meeting with the Division Heads – Vice President Stanton is trying to establish a meeting with the
division heads. He believes that it would be a good idea for the senators to meet with their divisions to
introduce themselves, talk story, exchange questions and issues, etc. These are the division heads for each
division:
Bryan Yamamoto – Science and Math
Glen Alquiza – Trade and Technology
Candace Yim-Tabuchi – Business Education

7. TREASURER’S REPORT – Na Hoku Rabot
7.1. Proposals – Before turning in any proposals, be sure all information is correct with all supporting

8.1. Schedule – The senators work schedules are posted for the student lounge. Senators are responsible
for sign-in and sign-out. Since this was the first week, HR Manager will be more lenient about the
schedule, however next week everyone should be working on their assigned times. If you don’t meet the 2
hours a week, you risk getting a deduction from your stipend. A reminder to senators that when you sign
out someone to any of the equipment, there are numbers on them, so be sure to write the number next to
the holders name.
8.2. Contract – Upon entering Student Government, everyone had to sign a contract. Next meeting we
will discuss a few additional changes to that contract.
8.3. Authority – As Student Government members, if you see anyone horse playing or being reckless
with the game equipment, you have the authority to tell them to stop. Tell them nicely and if they don’t
want to listen, go and tell Advisor Constantino, Student Life Assistant Cruz, or President Nelson.
8.4. PDA – Regarding to students who perform “Public Displays of Affection” in the Student Center, it
was suggested that Student Government implement some sort of rule. It’s uncomfortable and hard to
approach someone to tell them to stop. Advisor Constantino will look more into ways of getting students
to behave with maturity and respect.
9. ADVISOR’S REPORT - John Constantino
9.1. Contact Roster – A roster of all Student Governments contact information has been passed out. If
there are any corrections, please see Advisor Constantino after the meeting. The roster will be sent to the

student ID. In the office there is personal information that cannot be disclosed to others. Therefore, be
sure to keep the door closed. If senator have a meeting with a student or anyone, they can meet them out

oral or written testimony. Senator Flores read in an article that some of the tuition raise will be going to
financial aid. After the last Student Government meeting, Vice President Stanton met with

student internship on campus, taking in a closer look in professional development for teachers, turning

13.1. Ho’opili Hou – Advisor Constantino, SLA Cruz and President Batalion had a meeting with Mason
Chock. He is involved with the Leadership of Kauai and the Waipa Foundation. They were looking for
different venues in which we could do for the conference. There were requests for doing something
similar to the last Ho’opili Hou conference ASUH-KCC hosted in 2008 going back to nature and
culture of Hawai’i. Ho’opili Hou is a statewide leadership conference that includes all community
colleges, UH colleges, and private colleges that fall under the UH system on the islands of Hawai’i. Since
ASUH-KCC Student Government is hosting the event this year, the conference committee has agreed to
reduce the cost to all planners by 50%.
The tentative schedule is:
Day 1
Arrival of student leaders in the evening and welcome
Day 2
Keynote Speaker
Leadership development activities at Waipa
Community Service and cultural experience
Free time in Hanalei Town
Day 3
Keynote Speaker
Workshop Sessions at KCC
Closing Speaker
Closing Dinner
Day 4 (Optional)
ASUH-KCC Minutes for 05/06/2011 – Page 4
Free day until their flight home
A committee will be formed to help with logistics and preparations. Advisor Constantino was wondering
if Student Government would like to have a separate internal leadership conference build up since we
won’t be able to enjoy Ho’opili Hou like the other student leaders.
13.2. New Student Government Members – After discussion and voting, it was announced that the new
appointed members to fill in vacancies for the 2011-2012 academic year are Ian Ross, Herbert Semana,
and Lyle Ueunten.
14. ANNOUNCEMENTS
14.1. Leadership Conference for R.I.C.O. – Vice President Stanton would like to have a small
leadership based conference for R.I.C.O. about the basics on clubs.

13.2. Business Meet and Greet – It was mostly faculty members that attended the meet and greet. A
question was asked regarding the activity funds. They want to make separate funds for each division
heads to host activities, such as inviting guest speakers to do a presentation, hold workshops, etc. Advisor
Constantino stated that each division needs to raise their own money, however student government would
only help pay if the function/event benefits all students. The faculty has no rights to control student funds.

Student Government to further explain their proposal.

5. PRESIDENT’S REPORT - Nelson Batalion
5.1. Potential Members – President Batalion had all the interested applicants for Student
Government to reintroduce themselves.
Grace Knight-Kelly: Grace is originally from Las Vegas, Nevada and is now a residence of
Kauai. She is currently enrolled in her second semester in Kauai Community College and has
so far maintained a 4.0 grade point average. She is interested in being a part of Student
Government to develop better leadership skills, be an advocate for the Hospitality and Tourism
Club, and to give back to her peers as well as the community. Contributions that she can
provide is to act as a bridge between students and Student Government negotiate better ways to
run functions, and bring support to her peers. She is also very organized, a good
ASUH-KCC Minutes for 01/20/2012 – Page 1
problem-solver, honest, reliable, and takes pride in everything she does.
Chazton Sasil: Chazton, Chaz for short, is an alumnus from Kapa’a High School and is currently a
Liberal Arts student at Kauai Community College. He has had leadership experience from being a part of
the Student Council for two years during high school as the junior and senior class representative. Not
only was he involved in Student Council, he was the president of the peer mediation group at Kapa’a
High School. In addition Chaz has two part time jobs as a lei greeter and dancer at Kilohana. Chaz
believes that he could be a good asset to Student Government because he is a go-getter, he takes things
seriously, responsible, and is willing to help with a lot of the physical work.
Dasha D`Acosta: Dasha is a graduate of Kapa’a High School and has been a part of the Student Council.
She is in her third semester at Kauai Community College majoring in Liberal Arts. Captivated by the hard
work and dedication Student Government has for the students and school, she would like to be a part of
that group to also be able to help the students. Dasha, along with other Student Government members, is
part of Chi Alpha, a club built on the Christian faith. She believes that Student Government would benefit
with her in the group because she is very outspoken and enjoys working in groups and as a team. As a
leader, she understands that joining Student Government can be over-whelming and there are times that
we may not achieve the duties and commitments that we take on. As a leader to herself, she knows when
that moment happens to her, she will need to just stop, take a step back, and alleviate the problem in order
to then move forward. In short, Dasha has her priorities straight.
Moani Jaramillo: Moani is currently an Associate member of Student Government. Prior to her current
position, she was elected as a Senator for Health Education and Public Service. Due to her inability to
maintain a grade point average of 2.0, she stepped down from her senate role, but maintained an associate
member role for two semesters. During this time, Moani was able to improve her GPA and continuously
gave her commitment to the group and has even grown as a leader. Moani feels that she is ready to, once
again, be a Senator for Health Education and Public Services.

for doing such an amazing job as the Human Resource Manager. Unfortunately, due to his grade point
average, he was asked to step down from the HR position until he improves his GPA. Oliver will
continue to serve as an Associate Member. With the HR vacancy, President Batalion recommended
Senator Lyle Ueunten to serve as HR for the remainder of the Spring 2011 semester primarily because of
his dedication and work ethics. As Senator Ueunten takes on the tasks of the HR Manager, Associate
Member Yadao is willing to guide him along the way.

Student Government to look over for any changes. All Student Government members need to check the
constitution.
12.2. Commencement – Due to personal problems, there was a possibility that Mason Chock could not
be the keynote speaker for commencement, however everything was resolved and he will definitely be the
keynote speaker. Student Government and the Nursing club will be helping with commencement. Some
will be helping with handing out the name cards to the graduates, managing the overflow in the cafeteria
or OCET building, meet with the dignitaries at the front door, and everyone will be helping with keeping
family and friends inside the building until all graduates has left the building so that there is minimal
confusion. The new Student Government members are more than welcome to help out as well. Thursday
at 3pm there will be a rehearsal for staff, faculty, and anyone else that is involved, other than the
graduates, in the commencement. Friday at 4pm there will be a rehearsal for all the graduates. President
Batalion mentioned that Student Government is in charge of decoration. Thursday morning at 9am, May
10, 2012, the day before graduation, Student Government will be going up to the Sleeping Giant to pick
lawae for the decoration. An estimation of six, big, trash bag full of lawae is needed.
12.3. Appreciation/Installation Dinner – President Batalion sent a mass text message to everyone in
Student Government regarding the date for the appreciation/installation dinner to possibly changing the
date from May 19, 2012 to May 26, 2012. The date change is no longer necessary, Vice President
Batalion stated that the Naupaka Terrace will accommodate for Student Government. There will be a
general meeting at 6pm for current members. Dinner will be at 7pm, then at 8 am we will have the

12.4. ASUH-KCC Election – The elections started on April 25, 2012 at 8am and ended the next day,
April 26, 2012, at 5pm. There was a total 110 ballots. See attachment for voting results. There were a few
technical errors regarding the online voting. A few students could not vote because the link would either
lead them to the Surveymonkey website or take them back to the Google UH login page. Due to the
technical difficulties, a few paper ballots were made so the students could vote. Student Government was
unable to collect 15% of votes from students, however Advisor Constantino explained that it’s fine
because this was a “transitional” time; we had attempted to refrain from paper ballots and have students
vote electronically. Student Government would like to give thanks to Institutional Researcher Jonathan
Kalk who helped with a big part of the elections. Although the voting went well, Secretary Ricardo was
worried that not too many student would vote. She explained that students would say they will vote at
home but is never a sure thing that they would. Sheena Wise suggested that Student Government could
have used both electronic and paper ballots, which Student Government did. HR Manager mentioned that
a big part of why not many students voted was because the campaigning wasn’t posted weeks prior to the
elections. Advisor Constantino stated that the constitution said that application intention deadlines takes
place seven days before the election. He also reminded that the letter of intent applications were posted
around campus several months before the elections. Not only were the applications out, he mentioned that
he had to continuously remind everyone to turn in their applications, but every decided to turn them in at
the last minute. Individual campaigning could have started as soon as they turned in their application.
There were a lot of questions about how to vote and most candidates did not know the answer to the
question as well. A suggestion to inform the candidates of how the voting will be operated could be a
thing for them to know. Because it was Student Governments first time voting electronically, this
experience can only help Student Government grow with future elections, surveys, etc.
12.5. KCC Bus Pass Fee – Instead of the forum, regarding the bus pass fee, being on Tuesday, May 1,
2012, in the KCC cafeteria, it has been moved to Thursday, May 3, 2012, in the Student Life Center at
3:30pm. Eric Knudsen is the moderator. Senator Ross will send a mass email about information regarding
the bus pass fee hearing. He will also try to create flyers, as well as mini flyers, to distribute around
campus as soon as possible. Advisor Constantino wanted to be sure that the students that actually ride the
bus know about the hearing because this will greatly affect them. Senator Ross assured Advisor
Constantino that he will post flyers at bus stops. Senator Ross will be getting in contact with Jonathan
Kalk for informational research.
12.6 S.A.C./S.G Events
12.6.a. Snack Night – There was a total of 75 sign-ins for snack night. The food actually ran out,
although there were students who were taking more than one. Some classes were not visited because they
seemed to be really focused and some of the professor did not want to have their class be disrupted.
12.6.b. Afternoon Recess – There was a total of 92 people that signed in, including faculty and
maintenance. The food ran out from the students taking more than one. The booth was located at the
student life center near the election booth in hope to get students to vote.
12.6.c. Cancer Relay for Life – Relay for Life is happening tomorrow at the Hanapepe stadium from
6pm to 6am. Senator Jaramillo and dance club member Brayden Santiago will reserve the space, and HR
Manager Ueunten and associated member Yamashita will be setting up the area. There will be a few
Student Government members that will be arriving late due to the Kauai CC Choir concert, in which they
were a part of.
12.6.d. Hell’s Week (Final Exams)– Hells week starts next week Thursday, May 3, 2012. The Student
Life Center will be transformed into a study area where quiet time will be from 8:30am to 5:00pm. There
will be light refreshments, such as coffee and pastries. Refreshments will be served from 8:30am until it
all runs out. Senator D’Acosta reminded student government that book buy backs starts the same day as
Hell’s Week.
13. NEW BUSINESS
13.1. Transportation Coordinator – Senator Ross would like to create a permanent “Transportation
Coordinator” position within Student Government. This position would make the individual acts as a
ASUH-KCC Minutes for 04/27/2012 – Page 3
bridge between the Transportation Advisory committee and Student Government. Secretary Ricardo
asked if they were looking for a community member to in Student Government or if they want an actual
student to have the position. If the position was taken by a community member then there would be that
“permanent” factor because they would have knowledge of past records, unlike a student who will come
and go. Senator Ross clarified that they are not looking for a “permanent” member, but more of a
formalized position. HR Manager thinks that, instead of creating a position, making it into a
responsibility. SLA Cruz agrees that the responsibility could fall under the senators for At Large.
However, that may result in changes within the constitution or bylaws. Advisor Constantino stated that no
changes need to be made within the constitution, but just be added as a duty.
13.2. Board of Publications Budget – See attachment. Kauai Community College was the only campus
without a newspaper. It was Student Government that helped fund to get the paper started, however
Student Government can only do so much. The BOP is contemplating on installing an additional $6
student fee, labeled as a “publication fee.” The publication fee will be a separate fee from the student
activities fee.
MOTION THREE
HR Manager Ueunten moves to have a resolution to show Student Government support of the Board of
Publications $6 student fee. Seconded by Secretary Ricardo. 3 ayes, 0 nays, 3 abstentions. Motion
carried.
13.3. Youth Advisory Committee to the Mayor (YACM) – There has been an email that was sent to
Chancellor Helen Cox regarding having four students to join YACM. To join, one must be 27 years old or
younger. The committee is giving Chancellor Helen Cox the opportunity to pick two students,
ASUH-KCC Student Government Advisor/Counselor to pick one student, and Student Government pick
the fourth student member. Advisor Constantino has decided to pick Jocelyn Luana Slade to be a part of
YACM. YACM will be having a big meeting with Kauai’s Mayor Carvalho on May 16, 2012 at the
Mayor’s office at 3:30pm. On May 16, 2012 at 10:30am, they will be having a mini protest about safe
roads for walking on Rice Street. Senator Ross mentioned that Dance club at KCC are willing to dress up
as zombies for the Zombie Crosswalk. Senator Ross has been nominated for a leadership award and will
be attending a rewards dinner. Senator Ross was nominated by Janice Bond and Sharon Milan.
