De Anza students get information as they walk from table to table during the annual Club Day event held in the Main Quad.

Students were given the opportunity to join different clubs and activities at Club Day on Oct. 7 in the main quad.

“We do this every quarter,” ICC adviser La Donna Yumori-Kaku said.  “With about 60 clubs present, this is a great event.”

Different clubs attempted to recruit students,  from the Go and Chess Club’s on-site demos to the Tae Kwon Do Club’s display in the main quad. Among all clubs present at the event were veterans to the scene, as well as newly established clubs hoping to attract members.

“We’re doing massive outreach … to educate [students] about our culture in Pakistan,” vice president of the newly formed Pakistani Student Association Sidra Khan said.  “We decided to start in the fall because this is the best time to reach the people.”

The event featured cultural displays including a native Chinese ballad, and a Middle Eastern traditional dance.  

Measure G “protestors” dressed as society’s richest individuals against the revenue raising taxes in Measure E, on the November ballot.

“We’re doing a reverse protest.  We’re pretending to be rich taxpayers against Measure E, which is raising taxes [that] would go toward funding for more classes,” Sara Jones, co-president of W.I.S.E. 37 said.
