2009 Spring General
Election Supplement

Hey how's it going UCSB?!

My name is CASEY CAPACHI and I'm a second year Communication major who would love to serve YOU as your On-Campus Representative.

I am so grateful to UCSB for allowing me to further my previous leadership experience in a variety of organizations. I look forward to drawing from those experiences and acting on what YOU want to see happen next on our beautiful campus!

As Vice Chair of the Media Relations Committee, I have enjoyed promoting the many organizations and their events to students. And as a peer health intern for Student Health and reporter for the Daily Nexus and KCSB Radio I have become knowledgeable of the many activities and resources here on campus.

My goals include:

• Fighting fee increases. I have lobbied in Sacramento and Washington D.C. to hold our assemblymen accountable for raising the price on higher education.
• Improving the bike paths and increasing on-campus safety.
• Adjusting the policy of meal plans. By allowing rollover meals or having stores and restaurants on campus accept meal plan points.
• Promoting campus unity. I look forward to working with RHA in getting YOU the programs you want to come out for and furthering the bond between Associated Students and RHA.

My door is always open and I'm interested in hearing what YOU want to see happen on campus so please e-mail me at ccapachi@umail.ucsb.edu with your thoughts anytime.

You down with O.P.P. and me?! Remember CASEY CAPACHI for On-Campus Rep!

Hello Fellow UCSB Students!

My name is Jasmine Davenport, and I am a first-year Feminist Studies major running with STUDENT VOICE! for ON-CAMPUS REPRESENTATIVE.

As a woman of color, LGBTQQI ally, and San Nicolas' Multicultural Awareness Chair, I understand that every student has a story and issues that are important to them. I have had leadership experience in the following:

• San Nicolas Hall Council
• Leadership Education and Action Program (LEAP)
• Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA)
• Writers' Guild of Los Banos High

As an On-Campus Representative, I promise to be the public servant and voice that UCSB students deserve. As YOUR candidate, I will:

• ADVOCATE FOR DIVERSITY by supporting the needs and concerns of underrepresented groups on campus, their allies, and FOR ALL STUDENTS
• Ensure that the ENTIRE CAMPUS IS A SAFE SPACE for all to express themselves
• FIGHT FEE RAISES that hurt the accessibility of the campus to ALL STUDENTS
• Getting MORE STUDENTS INVOLVED in the disbursement of THE STUDENTS' MONEY
• And most importantly, ENSURE THAT EVERY STUDENT IS GIVEN THE QUALITY EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE they deserve by making sure there are enough professors, TAs, and instructors to go around

The one thing I want every voter to know is that YOUR ISSUES ARE MY ISSUES. I promise that I will be YOUR ADVOCATE for the betterment of UCSB and our surrounding communities.

Be sure to vote for STUDENT VOICE! and YOUR CANDIDATE, JASMINE DAVENPORT FOR ON-CAMPUS REPRESENTATIVE!

Hello my fellow GAUCHOS! My name is Joel Mandujano and I'm stoked to be running to become your On-Campus Representative. I'm a first year Political Science major who's looking to double major in Philosophy.
As a first year, I've gone out of my comfort zone to reach out, build coalitions, and meet people from all sorts of different interests and backgrounds to enhance my experience here at UCSB. I have collaborated as well as been a part of campus organizations such as: QSU, RHA, Queer Comm., Black Quare, De Colores, NAACP, El Congreso, and recently Theta Nu Kappa as well as a soon-to-be FSSP RA.
As an On-Campus Representative, I would work to:

1. Build a sense of DIVERSITY through establishing COALITIONS with MULTIPLE campus organizations and interest groups.
2. Make sure that safe spaces continue to be SAFE SPACES for underrepresented and underserved communities here on campus while working to build a sense of COMMUNITY within ALL students.
3. Make AS more ACCESSIBLE to ALL students
4. Modify the current MEAL PLAN SYSTEM to better compliment students and their busy schedules

So join OPP and our campaign to enhance, integrate, and diversify our campus!
-Vote JOEL MANDUJANO as your On-Campus Rep and let's make things happen!-

Hey Gauchos! =)

My name is Jose Marroquin -many of you know me as Alex- and it would be great if you would elect me as your next On-Campus Representative.

Through my experiences in the Freshmen Summer Start Program (FSSP), and as Santa Cruz Hall Council President, I have gained knowledge regarding issues that directly affect residents in the halls. I am a person who wants to make a difference on this campus and serving your needs would be great!

I have represented you at the Student Of Color Conference, Student Lobby Conference in Sacramento, and the Legislative Conference in Washington DC. I worked diligently and spoke to politicians regarding our high fees and how to ensure our stay at UCSB. (ADD *USEU SOMEHOW)

I have learned about the injustices we face as students and I find a need to be involved in order to make a positive difference. As your On-Campus Representative I plan to:

• Making sure all YOUR resources are safe and sound.
• Keeping the Campus SAFE (from those raccoons)
• Having the best food in the dinning commons (and possible roll over meals)
• Making sure tuition stays affordable (because both you and I can?t afford it)
• Fighting for what you believe in (and please do talk to me, I am open to your ideas too)

So Please Make Sure You Go out And Vote
Vote Blue for OPP and Vote for ME Alex =)
Why Make Things Complex Simply Choose Alex!!

Hi Gauchos!! I'm Veronica Smith, running with OPP, and I want to be your On-Campus Representative for next school year.

I am a first year student living in San Miguel who is a Rep-At-Large in the Residence Hall Association. I have been able to see and experience many different parts of this campus by being a first year student taking classes, going out to IV, and meeting new people. I've also had experiences with RHA, and organizations such as Akanke a black women's support group. I've had a great experience so far at UC Santa Barbara, but I also feel this campus could make the experiences for its residents and students better.

I would like to see a campus that is more DIVERSE, more UNIFIED, and more INCLUSIVE. I believe it will be crucial to fight the hike on student fees, increase outreach programs to bring more diverse representation to this campus, increase administration involvement with students so that students can understand the confusing college system better, and work to fight for issues big and small that affect the residents of UCSB.

I believe that the concerns of ALL students (including all races, religions, and sexualities) at this school are important and I want to work to make changes so that residents have a better and easier experience. I believe it is important to have a diversity of opinions which represent all students at this school which is why I'm running with OPP and want to represent YOU.
