Associated Student Government President Steve Macias and Student Affairs Commissioner Monica Guzman face a recall election Oct. 27 and 28.

A petition for recall was circulated by the Queer-Straight Alliance about a week after the Genocide Awareness Project held a graphic anti-abortion demonstration on the Quad.

City College and the Associated Student Government are selling commemorative bricks at the base of the Panther statue near the student bookstore.

The statue was installed last year by the ASG. The bricks are at the base of the statue and include one line of up to 15 characters for the buyer’s name. They are priced at $30 for current City College students and $50 for non-students.
