  • Expert Says Meetings Illegal
    Thursday March 22, 2018 The Student Voice of California State University, Fullerton Volume 103 Issue 26 ASI controversy continues; Expert says meetings illegal The elections judicial council convened at least three times to hear complaints without posting agendas, which are required by ASI bylaws and California law. AMY WELLS BREANNA BELKEN KYLE BENDER Daily Titan Associated Students violated a California open meeting law over the last two weeks by failing to post agendas for three closed meetings, according to a legal expert. The Associated Students elections judicial council held meetings on March 7 at 4 p.m. and March 14 at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. They addressed complaints filed against Celine Mou- bayed and Colin Eacobellis, Associated Students president and vice president candidates, respectively. The elections judicial council failed to post agendas for the meetings as required by the Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act, a California law regulating student governments. Apparently, it is standard practice for the elections judicial council to fail on posting agendas for its meetings. “There are no agendas for the meetings. They are pretty standard. We receive a complaint and the person that filed the complaint and the person the complaint is filed against receives an email from me letting them know that the com- plaint has been received,” said Rachel Langenfeld, Associ- ated Students election director and elections judicial council chair. Agendas for board of directors or committees meetings must disclose items to be discussed in a closed session be- forehand, according to the Associated Students’ bylaws and the Gloria Romero Act.

THE GENRE FORMERLY KNOWN AS “PUNK”: A QPOC’S PERSPECTIVE ON THE SCENE Shane Zackery Scripps College Claremont CA, 91711 1 THE GENRE FORMERLY KNOWN AS “PUNK”: A QPOC’S PERSPECTIVE ON THE SCENE Abstract This video is a visual representation of the frustrations that I suffered from when I, a queer, gender non-conforming, person of color, went to “pasty normals” (a term defined by Jose Esteban Munoz to describe normative, non-exotic individuals) to get a definition of what Punk meant and where I fit into it. In this video, I personify the Punk music movement. Through my actions, I depart from the grainy, low-quality, amateur aesthetics of the Punk film and music genres and create a new world where the Queer Person of Color defines Punk. In the piece, Punk definitively says, “Don’t try to define me. Shut up and leave me to rest.” 2 1 Conceptualization My project will be an experimental performance video that incorporates monologues, performances, visual sound elements, and still and moving images.
