The Associated Student Body Student Senate reviewed and finalized the bylaws before being put to vote at the Student Senate meeting Thursday . It’s been almost a month since Tyrone Robinson, the elected student senate president, sent out his resignation letter and ASB is making efforts to pass bylaws as quickly as they can so they will have a proper route to fill the vacancy. The meeting began with the normal order of business and included the removal of Senator Joel Dacarro who has not been present at any of the meetings this year. ASB Advisor Tanika Byrd delivered the message from the administration that “the expectation is by next Thursday this board will have something to deliver to (the administration) in the way of bylaws.” During the public comment portion of the meeting some students brought forth issues such as smoking on campus, however were disappointed when the board told them that business like that could not be discussed until the bylaws are finished....
Say no to cyberbullying

October is National Bully Prevention Month and it’s important to take a look at what a bully really is and why we want to prevent bullying. When someone mentions the word bully, most people visualize a large, angry kid walking down the hallway pushing a scrawny kid against the lockers, demanding his or her lunch money. In modern times, a bully isn’t necessarily someone who torments physically, but rather anyone with Internet access; it could even be you. Bullying through media is known as cyberbullying, and can be as simple as posting a mean or defaming message about someone. As young kids we heard the saying “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” As optimistic as that sounds, it’s completely unrealistic to say that the words others speak won’t hurt our feelings or alter the views we have of ourselves. How can we expect a vulnerable teenage girl not to feel the slightest bit self-conscious if one of her peers calls her ugly or fat on an Instagr...

When it comes to repeating classes, American River College students get three strikes then they’re out. If you are a first year student or just coming back to college after a break, it’s important to know that there have been recent changes to policies regarding course repeatability throughout all California community colleges. Due to budget cuts, a high demand for classes and an impacted system, students will only be permitted to enroll in the same credit course a total of three times. This means if you fail, withdraw, or a combination of both from the same class three times you will not be allowed to enroll and take the class again. “What has been happening is students have been repeating, [three times] and not passing, and taking away from other students. It’s hard enough to get classes.” says ARC counselor, Rene McGinley. “Three times if you can’t pass, you need to pick another class. It’s hurting the financial aid system by repeating like th...
