DVC's accessibility depends on student activism
The Inquirer supports the on-campus rally March 4 to protest fee hikes and budget cuts that have forced the closure of classes and drastically reduced funds for programs like EOPS, CalWORKS and Disabled Students Services. Sponsored by Students for a Democratic Society, the rally begins at 11 a.m. in the area between the Student Union and the cafeteria.
Talking out of place annoys classmates
A DVC engineering major recently complained to me about a common problem: side conversations that distract from the professor’s lecture. “I paid good money to listen to a professional expand my knowledge, not to have it reduced by updates about ‘Survivor,’” he said.
Love should never be a battlefield

Our guest writer opines towards DVC's lack of a popular international sport
I'm currently in my first year here at DVC and I find it shocking that there is no boys soccer team here. I have wondered why this was for a very long time now. I have even gone so far as to email the DVC president, but I get nothing in return. I really think that DVC could have a state ranked men’s team, if only we had one.

I had the opportunity to attend the presentation from the Iraq Veterans against War on Nov.18. It was an amazingly truthful, sobering experience for me.
As a high school student, I volunteered to help with the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life event. But I was shocked at how many young people refused to help with what is essentially a 24-hour party.
DVC's Second annual veteran’s conference will provide the chance for students who are vets to meet some of their biggest supporters. As a vet I am urging other vets and any students interested in veterans’ student life to attend the event.
Diablo Valley College has been in some major trouble since the start of fall 2009. Our state legislators and governor have made deep budget cuts to our now crumbling Disabled Student Services program, as well as to EOPS, CalWORKS and Matriculation. I started at DVC a few years ago, as a DSS student.
A college education is fast becoming a less available choice, even for students coming from upper middle class families. The fees at California Community Colleges were raised from $20 per unit to $26 this semester, a 30 percent increase. California State Universities also raised fees by 10 percent in May and then another 10 percent in July.
