CERRITOS, CALIFORNIA – Associated Student Vice President caused confusion for students on Monday at the amphitheater during the Presidential and Trustee forum.
During the forum the Associated Student Vice President Joe Nino said, “I see a lot of the candidates are wearing red squares which is identified with the Social Equality Club. How can the students be sure that your interest lie with the entire students population and not a specific student group?”
Students such as Aljen Medallo, business major, was in attendance during the forum and says students who knew about the red squares knew the statement was false.
Medallo says, “I felt relieved once Trustee candidate Villalobos explained the entirety of what the red squares represented.”
Tristan Feria, microbiology major, was also in attendance for the forum and states that the question asked by Nino did not affect his stance on voting.
Feria says he feels indifferent about the situation, but felt that the Presidential and Trustee forum helped him know who the candidates are and how the candidates who answered the questions were able to respond.
Medallo says, “The question Joe said decreased my belief in voting for the candidates wearing the red squares because they are using something for sympathy as a way of buying votes.”
Medallo feels questionable when going to the voting polls next week and unsure of who he will be voting for.
