Associated Student Government Secretary Steve Macias won the presidency and ASG Vice President Debbie Dixon was reelected April 23 when City College students voted in a campus-wide election for student government leaders to represent them next semester.

Voter turnout was low.

All candidates ran unopposed. Many ASG positions went unfilled, including commissioner positions of secretary and chief of justice, and 10 senator positions.

“I find it really sad that we cannot fill the board with enough candidates to fill our own ASG roster,” Macias said. “During my term I would like to explore how I could increase student awareness about ASG. Many students do not understand how influential they can be in the lives of their peers.”

Though the election was open to all City College students, many on campus did not know that it was even taking place.

“I was unaware that we were having elections today,” psychology major Tim Russell said. “I don’t think the elections will change much for me.”

Russell’s reaction to the elections was mirrored by many students on campus during the election days.

“To be honest, I didn’t know they were going down yet,” City College student Charmel Blanks said. “I’d vote if I knew what is was all about.”

Though many students were unaware of the ASG elections and what ASG does for the campus, they had ideas of their own about what needs to change.

“The food in the café is garbage,” art major Rosaline Carey said. “I would definitely make the café food better if I could.”

“Textbooks are so damn expensive, and you know they’re ripping you off,” student Glen Rogers said. “If I were ASG president, the first thing I would do is get the book prices down.”

What many students didn’t know is that membership in ASG is open to any City College student registered in at least six units and maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.0 to 2.5, depending on the office.
