So you’re looking for a bite to eat on campus, but the usual snacks, drinks and food aren’t cutting it. You’re looking for something different without walking very far. Look no further, the food trucks arrive every week, around noon. These local traveling kitchens of deliciousness park themselves in between the 1300 and 1600 buildings.

There are three food trucks that take turns serving students every other day. On Monday and Wednesday, Mae Mae’s Kitchen rolls onto campus with a helpful serving of southern charm. Stuff My Waffle takes over on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They combine waffles with other food items for a “Waffle Sandwich.” Island Gourmet brings you the best of Filipino cuisine all in an amazingly mobile service station.

Stuff My Waffle is the go-to truck if you want your waffle fix. Stuffing can include Cheese, strawberry jam, bacon, banana slices and more. Their menu is a cluster of crazy edible foods stuffed in between many types of waffles, including buttermilk. If you are feeling quite bold, Stuff My Waffle’s menu contains many crazy combinations.

The “Banana-Fana” contains Nutella, banana slices and bacon stuffed between two chocolate chip buttermilk waffles. If you ever wanted fried chicken on your waffle, then the “Chick-In-My-Waffle” has you covered, with Jalapeño jam, fried chicken and butter between two whole wheat waffles.

If you are not too bold on the whole “Waffle-Burger” idea, then the menu at Mae Mae’s Kitchen has you covered. From hot wings, hot dogs, chicken strips and cheeseburgers, Mae Mae’s kitchen can be your destination for good old homestyle cooking. One student stated the chicken nuggets were “Very good.”

Perhaps another culture’s cuisine might suit your taste. The Filipino cuisine of Island Gourmet brings the deliciousness on the go. Pancit, Chicken and Pork Adobo, this truck brings out the best of Filipino cuisine straight to your hands. Food trucks will arrive on campus throughout the week, serving students from 9 a.m. to Noon.

During the Summer 2017 semester, students were surprised to find a new “splash page” when connecting to any of the Wi-Fi hot spots around campus. Students were greeted with a page that had an accept button. This initiative was meant to clear up bandwidth for many of the hot spots around campus, meaning students could actively choose whether to connect to the hot spots.

The new “splash page” went into effect on May 30, during the summer semester at both Chabot and Las Positas campuses to give students a choice to access the Wi-Fi, hopefully freeing up much-needed bandwidth. The Student Senate of Chabot College and the Information Technology department collaborated on the change, with the Student Senate proposing this new page. Chabot and Las Positas staff both approved and supported the change. Before this change had occurred, students could automatically connect to the hot spots at any time without encountering the splash page

After the summer semester, it seems the splash page has been disabled and has not been implemented for the Fall 2017 semester, but a number of new hot spots have been added to outside areas to improve connectivity. These areas include Cesar Chavez Plaza and the Grand Court, in front of the Library. Now students traveling to and from places can use the campus Wi-Fi efficiently without suffering from being too far from the hot spot.

The Eclipse, this past month, dazzled millions of people around the world as the moon overshadowed the sun. People gathered along the path of totality in various states to watch the amazingly weird event in style. While many were either outside, with eclipse glasses, others were watching various streams over the internet. Totality was achieved for just under 3 minutes, leaving many in awe of the sight, with the path of totality occurring from Oregon to South Carolina.

Many scientists, astrologists, and astrophysicists came out in droves to witness the solar eclipse, even famed astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson, who was not afraid to let people know that he was not to be disturbed during the eclipse. NASA was out in full force, with an online stream set up featuring many scientists working in the field as well as a crowd excited for the inevitable totality. Many also took to social to share their amazement, opinions and “freak-outs.”

The last time a total solar eclipse had appeared in the United States was July 11th, 1991, in which the path of the eclipse made its way from Hawaii to the eastern end of South America. Unfortunately, Hawaii was experiencing heavy cloud cover. While many left disappointed, others made their way to Baja, California to catch the eclipse and found themselves with an amazing view. The 1991 eclipse lasted for 7 minutes.

Now, people wait in anticipation for the next solar eclipse. It will appear partially over the United States, Canada, Alaska and South America on February 15, 2018 at 11 a.m. PST. The next total solar eclipse will appear over the United States at 4 p.m. PST on August 12th, 2044, totality being seen from Alaska, Canada and Minnesota.
