Since the mention of the tuition possibly increasing to $24 a unit by this summer, a table near the entrance of the library has been placed for students to sign a petition to fight budget cuts.

English professor David Fabish spoke this past Wednesday at the ASCC meeting about students doing a letter writing campaign to Gray Davis. Fabish is asking students to sign this petition if they want a change to happen. Students willing to take political action against Gray Davis are challenged to write their state representatives a proposal on what they think.

On Mar. 17, students who feel strongly about the tuition increase are encouraged to attend Sacramento headed by Extended Opportunity Programs Services, to march to Gray Davis’s office. A bus will provide transportation for anyone willing to go.

If students don’t get the chance to show their support, they still have another chance on Mar. 28, where students can march from Persian Square at 11 a.m. in Los Angeles to Gray Davis’s office in Downtown L.A.

Committees will be there to support students with placards with their complaints.

Another controversial discussion during the ASCC meeting was the Geo Bond issue. For those students who do not know much about what the Geo Bond is it’s to keep a magnitude of comprehensive programs at Cerritos. The Geo Bond covers issues about larger classrooms, safety phones around campus and larger facilities for students are some of the concerns.

What the ASCC wants students to know is that the Geo Bond directly affects them. If the Bond is not approved, students will not have the resources they need during their time here at Cerritos College.

Students are encouraged to know how and who it affects. Administration and ASCC have great ideas for this campus but it’s up to the voters of this community to pass them.

ASCC President, Tiffany Garcia talk about the issue saying, “If nothing is granted, students will fight hard to make thing happen around here. Students voices need to be heard.”
