"I know it has something to do with student government, and that's thanks to your poll," said student Morgan Richards.
Richards' knowledge about the ASYC (Associated Students of Yuba College) seems to be similar to that of many other students on campus.
A survey conducted, randomly distributed to 300 participants, by "The Prospector," found that many students have little knowledge of the ASYC and the representatives' duties. The results, with a +/- 5 percent margin of error, are as follows:
Do you know what the ASYC is? X percent answered yes. X percent answered no.
Do you believe Yuba College's student government (the ASYC) has accomplished anything significant this semester? X percent answered yes. X percent answered no.
Do you think members of the ASYC are approachable? X percent answered yes. X percent answered no.
Do you think that the ASYC represents the students of Yuba College well? X percent answered yes. X percent answered no.
How would you grade the performance of the ASYC? X percent gave the ASYC an "A" X percent gave the ASYC a "B" X percent gave the ASYC a "C" X percent gave the ASYC a "D" X percent gave the ASYC an "F" X percent know so little about the ASYC that they couldn't give a grade.
Before taking this survey, were you aware that Yuba College has a student government? X percent answered yes. X percent answered no.
"People don't pay much attention to campus activities," ASYC Senator James Hall said in response to the results. "I announce in all my classes that I'm on the ASYC and ask if anyone has any questions or concerns. No one ever says anything. Most people just take like two classes and they're gone."
"A lot of people don't realize the good things ASYC does," added ASYC President Alice D'Ambrosio. "I encourage you (the students) to attend a meeting and get a better feel for the government."
According to ASYC members, the student government's main duties include planning student activities, distributing money to clubs and other organizations on campus, and scheduling vendors on campus.
