2004 Spring General
Election Supplement


2004 A.S. Fee Initiatives

(These are new funding initiatives, and would increase your current A.S. fee for Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer quarters.)

A.S. Program Board

The A.S. Program Board coordinates concerts and film viewings. This year A.S. Program Board brought Hieroglyphics, Living Legends, Michael Moore, Something Corporate, first ever Hip-Hop Battle, Punk Voter Tour (NOFX and Alkaline Trio), Distillers, They Might Be Giants and Extravaganza. Increased funding is needed to attract headlining acts, reduce ticket prices, and provide more free shows. This year A.S. Program Board provided financial and (or) logistical support to EAB, Hip-Hop Club, A.S.I.A.N., Sigma Delta Theta Sorority, Black Pioneers Renaissance Organization, Associated Students, Mask and Scroll, Norooz Cultural Presentation, Naked Voices, the Gaming Club and many more.
Do you support a one dollar ($1.00) per student lock-in increase per student to support A.S. Program Board to improve services provided, bringing the total amount to five dollars and fifty cents ($5.50)? The fee would be assessed per quarter.

A.S. UCSB Community Affairs Board

The A.S. UCSB Community Affairs Board (CAB) provides students with easy access to community service within Isla Vista, Goleta, and Santa Barbara. Students have the opportunity to explore career options and enhance their education through hands-on experiences. Volunteer opportunities include developing relationships with the elderly, tutoring elementary school children, visiting patients at SB Cottage Hospital, fighting hunger and homelessness, and working with national organizations such as Camp Ronald McDonald and Habitat for Humanity. The current quarterly fee that undergraduates pay is one dollar and fifteen cents ($1.15).
Do you support a sixty cents ($.60) per student fee for the A.S. Community Affairs Board, bringing the total quarterly fee to one dollar and seventy-five cents ($1.75) to increase community service opportunities?

Pro Statement

The Community Affairs Board (CAB) provides opportunities for volunteerism which are essential to individual student growth at UCSB. CAB is one of the largest and oldest student run, student funded organizations in the nation, and needs your support. CAB has never received an increase in its lock-in fee and is the only student organization that is taxed by the state. This taxing has the potential to increase greatly next year and would definitely limit CABÕs ability to serve the community as it has in the past. CAB supports many on-going service projects such as the Family Literacy Program, which pairs children from IV with reading tutors from UCSB, the Best Buddies program, which serves adults with developmental disabilities, the Breakfast Club, which aims to provide breakfast each day to people in IV who are homeless, and many others such as Habitat for Humanity. CAB also works alongside local non-profits including the Transition House, Special Olympics, the Rape Crisis Center, Bunnies Urgently Needing Shelter, IV Youth Projects, and many more. Please support the CAB lock-in so that you and your peers can continue to make a positive difference in our local community.

A.S. Business Services

A.S. Business Services Committee is committed to providing low or no cost services for all students of the University of California, Santa Barbara. A lock-in would provide for capital improvements and enhanced services for existing services such as A.S. Bike Shop, A.S. Cashiers/Ticket Office, and A.S. Publications. A.S. Business Services would use a portion of the lock-in to run a ÒBusiness Services Entrepreneurship competitionÓ where students would be competing to create a new business service, or improve an existing one. The development of new business enterprises would generate funds for student programs, groups and services that serve all students.
Do you support a $0.50 per student fee for A.S. Business Services to develop new services and improve existing ones?
