Mukhtar Ali - Student Voice!

HELLO UCSB! My name is Mukhtar Ali, I am running to be your off-campus rep. with Student Voice! I am a second year Political Science and Middle Eastern Studies double major. My experience makes me more than qualified to represent you! I have served as: an ambassador for Youth Service California, a representative for over 4,000 students on a school district's administration board, and served as an active member in The Muslim Student Association and Students for Justice Palestine. I have worked with the UCSB Isla Vista Liaison office, and with California Democrats. Working with these organizations has allowed me to interact with other clubs on campus and find commonalities that allow for collaboration. With your help I hope to accomplish the following:

I will work to make this campus safer, by ensuring local authorities are helping and not harassing students!
I will work with my fellow Legislative Council members regardless of their party to create bridges between the students and the large number of services and clubs which are available to them!
More and more student rights are being taken away in Isla Vista, I will work with local politicians, and other representatives to put an end to unjust treatment of students in Isla Vista while creating a safe and enjoyable environment for all residents!

So, for the sake of positive effective change I urge you to vote for progress, vote Mukhtar Ali for off-campus rep. with Student Voice!

Bridget Benedict - Student Voice!

Hey everyone. My name is Bridget Benedict, and I am running for your 2009-2010 Off Campus Representative. Let me tell you a little about myself. I am currently a second year Global Studies and Psychology Major at let's face it, the greatest University! I have spent the last year as a Resident Assistant at Santa Catalina Residence Hall, thus I have had the opportunity to meet and interact with many of my wonderful peers. I am also a dedicated member of Invisible Children at UCSB along with the Human Rights Coalition.

Here's why I want to represent you as your off-campus rep: I believe that as a representative of Associated Student's Legislative Council it will be my duty to fight for the students. The best way to represent you is by listening to your needs. Whether it be:

representing the un-represented/underrepresented
combating unfair policies
giving the students more say in their community
battling fee increases
fighting for tenants' rights

I am fully committed to bringing your issues to the forefront of the school's agenda. It will be my responsibility to represent you, not just in our school but in the greater community as well.
Feel free to contact me at bridget_benedict@umail.ucsb.edu and talk to me about my plan of making our university an even better place. And when you are voting just think to yourself "A vote for B is a vote for me!" Vote Bridget Benedict for Off-Campus Rep. with Student Voice!

Timothy "Tim" Benson - Open People's Party (O.P.P.)

Hey UCSB, I'm Tim Benson, a first-year communications major living in Manzanita Village. I love going to this school because I think it is truly a unique community, unlike any other university in the country. I believe that UCSB represents social and academic prominence. I believe in the immense potential of the student body at this university, and I believe that this diverse, talented, and capable group of people we have here on campus are headed for great things. Unfortunately, we as a university face massive problems in the coming year. We are amidst a detrimental budget crisis, one that has caused the administration to take away a lot of the great programs that UCSB has traditionally offered. In dire economic times, our school needs a group of leaders that will fight for the students and their rights. That is exactly why I am running for an Off-Campus Representative position, representing the Open People's Party. The OPP has always stood for representing ALL students at UCSB, making sure that everyone's rights as a student are being preserved. As a representative, I plan on working with the university to restore programs that are currently on the chopping block. As a student, you deserve a student government that will speak for you, and your needs as a member of this incredible community, and that is exactly what I, along with the OPP, plan on delivering. This election, vote for a student government that fights for you, not the administration. Thank you.

Armando Carmona - Students With A Plan (S.W.A.P.)

My name is Armando Carmona, I'm running for Off Campus Rep and here is my plan
First of all,
We need to educate UCSB students on Associated Students (A.S.) and how it works. A.S. representatives oversee a lot of money (brought to you by YOUR student fees) that funds many of the resources we have on campus. This is all good and great for us as students UNTIL the people left in charge are not representing our needs.
We also,
Need to hold the administration on this campus accountable to our needs, because as of now it seems as though their goal is to cut funding from our resources and tax our fees, not to offer more classes, or create more safe spaces, but to take them away from us. When in reality their job is to serve the students and to make our experience the best possible
I want to,
Continue working with outreach and retention programs on this campus, and continue empowering the youth with the resources needed to pursue a higher education. We must utilize our resources to benefit not only ourselves but also future generations
So basically,
We need representatives willing to start these conversations, and question AS. If we can't question our own actions and our impact on this campus how will we be able to learn and improve. Together we can create this.
My name is Armando Carmona and I am a Student With A Plan. Check our blog for our next meeting. swapucsb.blogspot.com

I am a very friendly and humble person, determined to be part of the change that this school needs. Being an average UCSB student, that enjoys having fun, going out and being active in the community, I'm aware of the changes that off-campus people want and need. If I'm elected:

As a future IV tenant, I want to ENSURE that students aren't taken advantage of by slumlords and that IV becomes more AFFORDABLE for all.

I will get people be more KNOWLEDGEABLE and be ENGAGED in Associated Students, which is a place for everyone.
will make sure that student funds are spent PROPERLY on programs and events that benefit the student body as a whole.
Lastly, I will create more events/programs that promote DIVERSITY within our community in IV.

Rememeber ya'll, I'm her to represent YOU!!!! Feel free to contact me at acordova90@gmail.com with any concerns and suggestions or just facebook me!

Adam Goldman - Open People's Party (O.P.P.)

Hey Everyone!

My name is Adam Goldman and I am running for Off-campus Rep with OPP!

As a member of a Greek fraternity and an intern with the Wellness Program, I am actively involved at UCSB both off and on campus. Through my participation in these organizations, I have worked incredibly hard and learned to deal with a variety people. Moreover, I have come to appreciate the incredible opportunities and experiences UCSB offers and would love the chance to give back to a school that has given me so much.

As Off-Campus Rep, I will work diligently to make sure that our rights and privileges are not only maintained, but also enhanced. I would like to make the housing in Isla Vista more affordable as well as more accountable to the students who live there. In addition, as Off-campus Rep I will make myself available to the students in I.V. by working with all of you to make sure our voices are heard!

As I am sure many of you already know, Santa Barbara County is trying to pass the Social Host Ordinance that would severely limit the social scene in Isla Vista. This is simply unacceptable. If you elect me as Off-campus Rep, I will do everything in my power to make sure that this bill is not passed, and our liberties as students and rights as citizens of I.V. are preserved!

Thank you for your time and vote for me!

Sincerely,
Adam Goldman

This is our home, school, and college experience and we need to make it the best it can be! As your off-campus rep, I would focus on:

Ryan Hirschler - Student Voice!

Friends and neighbors,
Students of UCSB,
My name is Ryan Hirschler. I am a second-year Environmental Studies major living here in Isla Vista, and I need your help.
Throughout my past two years at UCSB I witnessed the awesome power of student activism. I heard the voices of young people across America. At a time when so many cynics believed that young people do not vote, UCSB turned out numbers which shattered the national averages. I was fortunate enough to be on the frontlines with Associated Students and Campus Democrats, helping to ensuring that every student voice was heard, and that every vote was counted. Sadly, there are some who are trying to silence us. The current attack on UCSB students seeks to erase you from the 2008 election, regardless of whether you correctly registered to vote and regardless of who you voted for. If Steve Pappas has his way, myself and 9,000 of my friends will have their voices extinguished.
This is why I am running to be your off-campus representative. Associated Students now faces the firing squad, because their efforts to register voters were EFFECTIVE! There are those who will back down next year; who will not fight to keep the student voice heard because they are scared. Elect me, and I will ensure Associated Students NEVER falters in its duty to our student community. For all of us who fight for something we believe in, please join me in protecting our most basic democratic right.
~Ryan Hirschler

Alaa Kamel - Student Voice!

Hello Students!
My name is Alaa Kamel and I am running for Off-Campus Representative for Student Voice. I am a Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies major with a minor in Global Peace & Security. Representation of unheard voices is my main concern! Our diverse community identifies with many controversial issues but I must emphasize that my responsibility is to make sure ALL voices are heard. I was the president of Model United Nations for 2 years, which means I have what it takes to put myself out in the community and find a way to accomplish my goals. I am dedicated to making a higher education accessible and affordable for our generation as well as the future. I also have very extensive experience in being a leader that holds strong conviction in my active voice. If I am elected, I am going to invest my time to serve you, and make the UCSB experience most enjoyable. I commit myself to the interests and concerns of the student body.

Corilyn "Cori" Lantz - Students With A Plan (S.W.A.P.)

Hey UCSB! I'm a second year political science major with a passion for representing this campus and our student body. I am running for Off Campus Representative.

My name is Cori Lantz and here is my plan:

I want to strengthen student representation throughout the community. Student opinions are taken lightly by organizations within Santa Barbara, Goleta and even Isla Vista (although we compile over half the IV population). If elected, I will work on gaining respect for student opinions and make sure that actual students represent us. We deserve to have a say in decisions that affect our time here in Santa Barbara.

The Social Host Ordinance and alcohol permits at student events are issues I have recently been working on that directly impact the lives of students. We have been overlooked in the decision-making process for these issues, and I am working to give our students a voice.

I also want to make sure that student fees are protected throughout the budget cuts. Our money needs to be protected and used in efficient ways that cater to students wants.

As treasurer of the AS Isla Vista Community Relations Committee (IVCRC) for two consecutive years, I am familiar with the distribution of funding. I want to ensure responsible allocation of our fees.

My plan is to represent the average student here at UCSB.

My name is Cori Lantz and I am a student with a plan. Check our blog for our next meeting: swapucsb.blogspot.com

Jessica Lenz - Student Voice!

Hey UCSB!!!

My name is Jessica Lenz and I'm running for Off-Campus Representative with Student Voice! I am a first year Theater major. I am currently the President of Anacapa and participate actively in R.H.A. On top of that, I am currently in a sorority and hold two positions in it. I believe that I could be a voice for all off campus residents of UCSB as I will be residing in the sorority. I have so much love for this school, as well as Isla Vista, since I so often find myself roaming it's streets, and I am very dedicated to making this community even better!

Some ideas I have for next year:

Happy Hour at the dining commons, where for an hour after every meal time closes, people that reside/frequent the homeless shelters can come in with a special pass and eat any food that had previously been cooked for the UCSB students, but was not consumed. This reduces waste and helps feed the homeless.
Charity tokens at the dining commons. At the beginning of every week, there will be 2 boxes at the front desk of each dining commons. You get the choice to donate as many meals as you have for that week. One would donate one meal to The Breakfast Club that feeds the homeless on Wednesday's. One would donate $11 to a charity of your choice.

Vote for me! Remember "For a clearer view of the future, vote Lenz."

Jason "JLO" Lopez - Open People's Party (O.P.P.)

Hey fellow Gauchos! My name is Jason "JLO" Lopez and I running for Off Campus Representative. I am a first year currently undeclared, but I'm leaning toward biopsychology. I am involved in a couple of things here in UCSB such as 9th floor representative for Santa Catalina , sexual health peer advisor, and the UCSB after school program. I'm just like you I play intramurals, go to the beach, party, hit the library when its crunch time and overall just live life to the fullest. If elected:

I will make IV a safe place to be at night.
I will help place stop signs where we think they are needed.
I will light up the streets to make it easier to drive and bike at night.
I will work for your TENANT RIGHTS and help lower housing costs.
I will work to provide more efficient transportation for those of us who take the bus.
I will help fight the fee increases that are affecting us all.
Most importantly I will be there for the YOU the average UCSB student and listen to your ideas and concerns.

So, vote for me Jason "JLO" Lopez, and vote for the Opens People Party.

Aurea Martinez - Student Voice!

My name is Aurea Martinez and I want to be your Off-Campus Representative. Let me start off with a fact. Did you know that $ 156.23 of your fees each quarter goes to A.S.? Yes...this makes all of YOU part of Associate Students. Therefore I would like for you ALL to feel that your needs are being addressed. Don't you want your money to be used wisely? I think you do!

MY GOALS FOR UCSB:

For of all the new and current I.V residents, I want to represent YOU! I would also like to ensure a smooth transition from the dorms into I.V. for the freshman. I know living on your own is quite different from the dorms. (Like hopefully you will no longer get locked out of your room with only your towel... you know what I'm talking about)
Bring more produce to the IV community. We all like to buy tasty and affordable food!
Safety-more Street lights on campus and in IV because in certain areas it's really dark.
Health insurance- Student Health barely covers anything, improve the quality.
Transportation �buses should run later!
Accessible parking lots-one parking permit should be used for all
Your money should be spent where YOU want it to be spent!!!

Every single one of you is important to me!
If you want to talk about anything I will be here for you!

So vote AUREA, your friend, for OFF-CAMPUS REP!!

Nicholas "Nick" Musni - Student Voice!

Hello fellow students. My name is Nicholas Musni and I want to be YOUR off-campus representative. I see this position as an excellent opportunity to enable positive and progressive change for ALL students and our surrounding community. I am a third year English major involved in S.C.O.R.E, Pilipino Culture Night as stage crew coordinator, Kapatirang Pilipino and Culture of Youth Progressing Humanity in Rhythm and Expression (CYPHER). With all the budget cuts and funding shortages going on I want to make sure that administration does not compromise YOUR needs. I want to make sure that decisions are made for YOUR best interests. And that ALL groups of interest and identity (race, sexuality, gender, economic standing, etc.) are equally represented by our student government.
Some of my many issues of concern are:

Social and institutional racial equality
The accessibility and affordability of higher education
Revitalizing art and other forms of positive and progressive activities in Isla Vista, Goleta and Santa Barbara

By addressing these and other like issues we can create a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students. As your off-campus representative I will continuously be looking for new ways to learn what your needs are and passionately fighting to meet those needs. I want to be your STUDENT VOICE!!!

Urvashi "Urvi" Nagrani - Student Voice!

Greetings! I'm Urvi Nagrani and I am running for off-campus representative with Student Voice! I'm a first year transfer and a senior Film & Media major. I'm a photo blogger, artist, activist and President of Words, Letters, Poetry Slammers and member of UCSB Democrats, Queer Student Union, FUQIT, and English Club. During my first year here I've also worked on local elections, the senate run-off election in Georgia, organized a major Rally for Equality in San Francisco during the oral arguments against Prop 8 and worked on a film through the Film and Media department. I'm a California native of South Asian decent who's numerous travels have given her a somewhat global perspective. I am an active go-getter who you can count on to not only think about issues, but to translate ideas into action. I'm cynical enough to be realistic, and idealistic enough to try to improve the status quo.

If elected I will:

Be active.
Work to enable student organizations and leaders rather than hinder them.
Enable and represent all students regardless of their gender, sexuality, and ethnicity. We have a diverse student body and everyone should feel comfortable sharing their voice.
Improve cooperation and communication between organizations, administration and students so services can be utilized by all.
Make it easier for student's to voice their input.
Work towards creating gender neutral housing.
Be active!

Feeling secure with where YOUR money is being spent

Jaret Ornelas - Student Voice!

How's it going UCSB? My name is Jaret Ornelas and I'm running to be YOUR Off-Campus Rep with Student Voice! I am a second year Spanish/Chican@ Studies double major living in Isla Vista. I can safely say that Isla Vista is unlike anywhere else in the world. I've come to love this little surreal bubble as a second home. This is why I have and will continue to work to make Isla Vista a better place for ALL of its residents. Since my 1st fall quarter I've been involved with different community groups and causes:

Rallied for justice for unpaid San Clemente apt. painters
Organizer for Student-Worker Coalition. Helped plan marches and rallies for service workers
Tutored Elementary school students at Casa De La Raza
Gone to UC Regents meetings to protest fee hikes, enrolment cutbacks, militarization of UC
Lobbied State Assembly members to pass resolution HR. 5 against Prop 8 and attended the supreme court case on March 5th
Organized against the proposed Social Host Ordinance

Some basic policies I'll work to enact:

Stop the Social Host Ordinance, more laws and police power are not the answer to IV's problems
Fight to have student input in county policy affecting Isla Vista
Work to hold police accountable to the people they serve
Keep Landlords from taking advantage of tenants
Any other issues pertinent to students

So vote for me to be YOUR voice as Off-Campus Rep. Vote Student Voice!

Jamie Silverstein - Open People's Party (O.P.P.)

What's up Gauchos? My name is JAMIE SILVERSTEIN and I am running to be your OFF-CAMPUS REPRESENTATIVE with the O.P.P. I'm a first year Political Science major and I'm running because I believe that I can use my experience and ideas to make UCSB the best place it can possibly be.

My experience:

A.S. Investment Advisory Committee Member
A.S. Program Board Volunteer
A.S. Finance Board Proxy
Disabled Students Program Employee

If elected, I will:

Create an online forum where current Isla Vista tenants can express grievances and warn prospective tenants against renting from unjust slum landlords.
Make UCSB more environmentally sustainable and reduce energy consumption by composting dining hall leftovers and installing solar panels and wind turbines on campus buildings.
Reduce the price of your education by limiting the number of "new edition" textbooks (that are IDENTICAL to the old textbooks) teachers can make us buy. This way, a student taking 48 units a year can save $150 by purchasing more USED books and fewer NEW books.
On June 8, 2010, the state will elect a new Governor. Our current Governor cut $115 million from the annual UC budget and raised student fees 7.4%. I will ensure that this time around, student voices are heard and that state government recognizes the UCs as a PRIORITY, not a dispensable program.

E-MAIL ME (Silverstein.jamie@gmail.com) or FACEBOOK ME with questions and ideas so that I can efficiently represent YOU!

VOTE JAMIE SILVERSTEIN
