For the '95-'96 school year, students will be issued the newly implemented San Jose/Evergreen College District Identification Card known as the Universal Card. The cards are issued free of

These advantages are, "Basically the same, in the past, as far as I know there've been student discounts," said Cisper "There's merchants in the area that give our students discounts,"said Santos. These discounts usually range from 10-15 percent off. Some of the other advantages to having an ASB Card include discounts on sporting events, productions by the drama department and discounts in cosmetology. For those interested in getting involved in any of the clubs on campus, "You have to have an A.S. Card to be a member of any club." said Cisper. According to Santos, having the ASB and Universal Card the same would make things more convenient. Having two separate cards " ...makes a lot of extra work for students and the council," said Santos.

Application deadline for open ASB offices is Sept. 22
