De Anza College's Club Day will take place Thursday in the Main Quad, despite concerns about noise and limited space due to construction.
The possibility of moving Club Day to another location, such as the Sunken Gardens, was discussed during Wednesday's Inter-Club Council meeting.
Some club representatives feared that moving Club Day to the Sunken Gardens would bring less student traffi c to the event. ICC Chair of Programs, Jordan Eldridge also noted that there is only one wheelchair ramp in the gardens, making it difficult for disabled students to attend.
Club Day takes place once every quarter and is designed to bring awareness to and promote De Anza's clubs. Past Club Days featured disc jockeys and performances by club members.
In the past, noise hasn't been a major concern for Club Day, since there were no classrooms in front of the Main Quad. This quarter, classrooms were moved into the Administration building, which is directly in front of the quad.
Anthony Choice, the ICC representative for the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan club, said he was against moving Club Day to an alternate location.
"I don't really give a damn if it interrupts the classes because the administration was warned not to put classes right there from the get-go," Choice said.
"It's common sense that they maybe should have thought of it before they put the classes there."
Eldridge said that, if anyone from the Administration building complains about noise, he will have the DJ lower the volume.
No action was taken regarding a possible location change for Club Day since no ICC club representatives made a motion.
This quarter's Club Day is scheduled for Thurs. Oct, 12, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. If rained out, the event will be rescheduled to Oct. 19.
