De Anza President Dr. Brian Murphy presented himself at the Nov. 7 Inter Club Council meeting to meet club members and put a face to his name. He said De Anza College has a high rate of transfer into both public and private universities. Murphy said he is proud that De Anza has an ICC. “What makes [De Anza] shine is what you do,” said Murphy. He said that the amount of clubs and extracurricular activities between the ICC and the DASB is unparalleled at other California Community Colleges. “I admire, most of all, the ethic that the ICC perpetuates on campus, which makes people comfortable to do things like start new clubs and get involved in activities on a deeper level.”He said students should continue to speak with their advisors about how club issues can be brought into school curriculum. He said students should initiate events more often, like Iran-US relations guest speaker Trita Parsi, who was at De Anza recently.”The college will support any program which would facilitate open discussion about certain issues. Any way we can help create public conversation will help our status as citizens in a more democratic community,” said Murphy. He said De Anza has the money to hire guest speakers to come to De Anza.The remainder of the meeting was spent on reading a new point-system attendance policy that was put forward at the Monday Agenda meeting, which focuses solely on ICC officers, not club representatives. If the proposed change is passed, the ICC code would ensure an officer’s presence at nearly all meetings and events, or else he or she would no longer be eligible to hold the ICC position. A replacement canopy for the ICC tent was approved for funding at $400, putting the ICC balance at $13,195.00. The old one was ripped.
