Tuyen Nguyen - Student Action Coalition

My name is Tuyen Nguyen and I am a first year. In the past two quarters I have been actively involved in the community working with the Asian Resource Center and Student for a Progressive Asian American Movement (SPAAM). As an Asian Pacific Islander, woman, students, and member of your community, I want to ensure safety, diversity, and access for all students. This includes raising awareness and addressing the issues facing the under represented groups. I firmly believe that change is necessary for progress. In order to achieve progress, better communication between student government and the community is essential for success. The creation of student coalitions is necessary to create a safe space for dialogue. The exchange of ideas between different personalities creates awareness and growth within the community. I am a product of such exchange of dialogue as I became more politically and socially aware. As your off-campus representative, I will work to have affordable and quality housing for all tenants and ensure that all tenant rights are met. I would also want to connect the UCSB community and Isla Vista by creating monthly meetings with members of the community. I would like to continue on this never ending journey of growth and progress with you as your legislative council. Vote S.A.C. Taking Action. Attaining Access.

Yeva "Eva" Kilamyan - Students' Party

You've probably talked to me on campus or joined one of my famous facebook groups. My name is Eva Kilamyan and I'm a first year Business Economics and Political Science major running for off-campus representative with Students' Party. I'm running because I want to help change student government to make it accountable to the students. Every student pays to fund A.S., so every student should know where his/her money goes. Under Students' Party leadership, all A.S. fiscal reports will be posted online and available to everyone. I strongly oppose our rising student fees and ridiculous textbook prices and will continue to work with Student Lobby to make sure that the politicians in Sacramento and Washington D.C. make higher education a priority. We all have different backgrounds, political views, and interests. But at the end of the day, we are all in the same boat. If we suffer, we suffer together. If we work together and voice our concerns, we will succeed together.

Kathryn "Katie" Bender - Students' Party

Hey all, I'm KATHRYN BENDER, but I give you all personal permission to call me KATIE. Currently, I am rocking a position as off-campus rep, and I would LOVE to continue holding this position in the '05-'06 school year. I'm a second year art studio major, and a member of the Tau class of Delta Delta Delta. I have a long résumé of student leadership throughout my life, including president for my senior class, vice president of Girls' League, and so much more. I am a firm believer of the STUDENTS' PARTY platform including, but not exclusive to tenants' rights, keeping the IVPD in their place, reasonable tuition and costs of books in order to keep higher education attainable to as many as possible, and generally forging a better situation for the students of UCSB. I am just a normal girl-I love UCSB and I love to party and have fun, but I also know when and how to get down to business. I'm not afraid to hear from those whom I represent, or to go out of my way to find out what is best for YOU. STUDENTS' PARTY stands for representing the voice of the students here at our gorgeous school, and I want to do so. I NEED to represent your voice, and I'll be sure to do a darn good job. Vote Students' Party: Your Choice, Your Voice. And believe me, you won't regret it. Thanks!


candidate
Joel Rodriguez-Flores - Student Action Coalition

My name is Joel Rodriguez-Flores and I am a second-year global studies and women's studies major at UCSB. Over the past two years, I have become increasingly active in a number of progressive organizations on campus, including Amnesty International, Queer Student Union, and El Congreso. Currently, I am participating in the coalition for the planning of the upcoming UC-wide Women of Color Conference, and I am a finance co-coordinator for El Congreso's annual youth conference, which brings over 800 students to UCSB. I am also active in the local community; I campaigned extensively for Measure D last fall, and since it passed I have worked towards the construction of the Isla Vista community center.

I decided to become involved with Associated Students because I want to take advantage of that organization's resources and influence to better represent the many communities that are present on this campus. It is my main goal to make my fellow students aware of their power as individuals and as members of a collective, as I believe that A.S. should strive to represent the sentiments of as many of them as possible. This is why I chose to run for off-campus representative with Student Action Coalition: I believe that it is the party that most comprehensively addresses the issues that truly affect the greatest number of UCSB students. Vote SAC: Taking Action, Attaining Access!


candidate
Ryann Gastwirth - Students' Party

Hey UCSB! My name is Ryann Gastwirth and I'm running for Off-Campus Representative with STUDENTS' PARTY. I know you are reading this because you are bored or you just happen to love UCSB as much as I do and want to have a say in the decisions that affect your life on campus and off. Either way, I would love to represent YOU on next year's Legislative Council. I'm here to bring your ideas and interests to the table to make sure that your voice is heard. Over the past year I have been an active member of Student Lobby, working on the IVFP campaign to create a better relationship between law enforcement officers and students, and fighting against increased fees which we all know is a huge pain in the ass. I'm broke and starving just like many of you and the issues that affect EVERY student such as ridiculous textbook prices, landlords that like to rip us off, lack of parking, and rising tuition are most important to me. This is our campus and I'm here to make sure it stays that way. Vote Ryann Gastwirth for off-campus rep because a vote for STUDENTS' PARTY is a vote for YOU.

Rachel Weight - Students' Party

Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Vote for Rachel Weight.

10. Lots of leadership experience-I've been actively involved in my school and community since forever.

9. Member of Student Lobby - working on the IVFP campaigns to create a better relationship between police and students in Isla Vista, and the Prioritization of Education campaign to make the university system affordable and accesible to all.

8. I hate Ugg boots and a mini skirt.

7. I love the environment and am dedicated to preserving our sweet coastlines and community parks, and to making our campus as eco-friendly as possible.

5. I love people and talking to people. I'll talk to you about any ideas or concerns you have and help you out in any way I can.

4. I'm a nice girl. I take notes and proctor tests for disabled students at our campus and pick up litter on the ground when I see it.

3. I make excellent bean dip, and can make you some if you'd like.

2. I'm crazy about IV and the amazing community we've created here, and want to fight to preserve our traditional chill way of life.

Etuajie Oiyemhonlan - Student Action Coalition
"In a globalizing world, gender equality and empowerment of women are vital tools to achieve sustainable developments of societies, and are even admitted by the fools!"

My name is Etuajie Evelyn Oiyemhonlan and as a representative of Student Action Coalition (S.A.C) running for off-campus representative, I am taking a pivotal role in tackling issues that concern women safety within our community as well as other essential issues that will ensure representation and security among all members of the under-served communities. Throughout my educational career, I have taken on many leadership positions that require determination and ambition. As an off-campus representative I am willing to concern myself with issues such as diversity and opportunity. This quote essentially epitomizes my desire to take a more proactive role in creating an academic environment that both tolerates change within our community and celebrates the nuances of cultures, ethnicities, and orientations that our coalition represents. Though I believe there is a progressive movement on campus that stands for social change within our community, I believe that we can do more to insure that the students at Santa Barbara are able to grow culturally and academically in an environment that supports these experiences. Though I have only been apart of UCSB's community for two quarters, I recognize the issues that need to be addressed and put to the forefront of the university. The issue of bringing together all organizations such as minority groups on campus, queer communities and women collections are needed in order to ensure a safe zone for all individuals. As a woman, and woman of color I know that there will be obstacles that I have to face but I am willing to take them on headstrong without letting down. Vote for S.A.C because a person without ambition is dead, a person without love is dead, but a person with ambition and love for progressiveness and change is ever so alive. Vote S.A.C. Taking Action, Attaining Access.

Carlos Cruz - Student Action Coalition

Hello, my name is Carlos Cruz. I am running for the position of off-campus representative with the Student Action Coalition. I am currently the Vice President of San Miguel Hall. I am also a member of El Congreso, the Student Commission On Racial Equality and Queer Student Union. Student government should be a place where all students are heard, no matter what race, religion, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability they have. If elected I will bring forward YOUR ideas, issues and concerns to A.S. and the campus as a whole. I will work closely with underrepresented communitiies on campus so that the voices of all students are heard and their concerns addressed. As off-campus representative I shall work with the IVTU and other local tenant advocates to protect the rights and detain affordable housing and decent living for all UCSB students. I will also work to increase the safety and accessablility for students with disabilites, womyn, people of color, queer, low income and all students.

My name is Candice Hodge (Candy); I am currently running for Off- Campus Representative for the most influential and most recognizable organization on campus: Student Action Coalition (SAC).

Claudia Garcia - Student Action Coalition

Hey! My name is Claudia Garcia and I am running for Off-Campus Representative with Student Action Coalition (S.A.C.). I'm a second year Political Science major and have been involved with our student government for the past year, and more recently with the Greek system. Through my involvement with Student Lobby and Student Commission On Racial Equality (S.C.O.R.E.), I have gained valuable experience and knowledge on the variety of issues that affect students on our campus- be it the quality of our education, the cost and accessibility of the university, or our safety on and off campus. I have worked on successful campaigns to ensure outreach on our campus and have lobbied in Sacramento against the fee increases we all dread. I realize that UCSB is incredibly diverse, not just in terms of backgrounds, but also in interests. As a member of both progressive organizations and a sorority, I see the disconnection between student government and many other groups on campus. I would like for you to give me the opportunity to help with this divide, to create a space in which all students work collectively to ensure a better UCSB. S.A.C does not promise new pop machines or glitter Bonnebell dispensers in the girls' bathrooms, but they do promise effective student organizing with strong leaders that will make change both on the legislative level and right here on campus. So vote S.A.C. and all your wildest dreams will come true! VoteSAC.com

Jesse Howie Baker IV - Students' Party

What's up all?! My name is Howie Baker IV and I'm running for the position of Off-Campus Rep. with Students' Party. As a transfer, I haven't yet had the opportunity to work in student government, but what I lack in experience I more than make up for in my genuine desire to represent the students' interests as they are expressed to me. I believe that partisan infighting should never undermine the responsibility of student government to successfully respond to the demands of the students. Representatives need to subordinate their personal goals and always remember to work for the students' interests. One problem I think that all students can relate to concerns course availability. Financial cutbacks should never jeopardize the quality of our education or the availability of classes. I want to work with legislative council to push for a larger number/wider selection of section times for the more popular courses to ensure that students are able to graduate on time. I would also like to work on Legislative Council to further enhance the power of IV Tenant's Union in their struggle to stabilize the exorbitant rent prices in IV and inform tenants of their rights. Most importantly, I want to use my position on Legislative Council to get the work done that the STUDENTS want. If elected, I would encourage all students to approach me with any and all ideas they have to make life at UCSB even more enjoyable. VOTE FOR HOWIE BAKER IV, AND VOTE GREEN ON 4/20!


candidate
Gina Fischer - Students' Party

BANG! POW! WHAM! Did my use of Batman onomatopoeias catch your attention? Good. Now I am going to tell you what my life is all about, and hopefully you'll be inspired to vote for me. I'm a second year political science and geography double-major. I work at the UCSB Bookstore and the IV Food Co-op. I live in IV and pay way too much in rent and don't have a garbage disposal. Also, buying textbooks just broke my bank. Please note that it is the STUDENTS' PARTY taking action, more than our competition, to minimize these problems for you. Any hoot, I love nature and hugging trees, literally. I'm all about composting, recycling, and sustainability, (hence I work at the Co-op), and I fight for the end of violence against vagGINAs, (I'm a WETT member, and we're the awesome ladies who put on the VaGINA Monologues and raised money for the Women of Iraq). I'm also a poor speller and grammar is not my friend. It's all good though, because I'm friendly, open-minded, random, energetic, and can balance good times and business. I pretty much like everybody, even you, because you are reading this. Most importantly, I like trying new things, and A.S. is something I want to try. I know I will do a great job representing your needs, because they are most likely similar to my needs. So, rock the vote for this girl, Gina Fischer, STUDENTS' PARTY OFF-CAMPUS REP!


candidate
Joseph Cole - Student Action Coalition

Hey dudes. My name is Joseph Cole. I'm running for Off-Campus Representative with Student Action Coalition. I'm a first year History Major who takes an active role on campus. I'm president of Santa Rosa ResHall. I'm a member of a fraternity, Beta Theta Pi. You can also see me on campus as a Gaucho Tour Guide. I'm running for an A.S. position because I want to fix the problems that affect YOU, the average student. You are paying too much for housing in I.V. I want to work with the IV Tenants Union to lower rent and make sure you know your rights as renters. The IVFP loves to catch you drinking, but cares not for protecting you. I want to work with Student Lobby to build a complete fall defensive to make sure YOU are protected. You are paying too much for school right now, and they want to raise student fees while cutting back on financial aid. I am going to do everything in my power to make UCSB affordable for everyone. I want Greek Organizations to get the respect they deserve. S.A.C. has accomplished a lot in its 13 year history, including establishing the 24-hour study lounge in the library and the nights-and-weekend parking pass on campus. Vote for Joseph Cole in the elections, and I promise that every vote for ME is a vote for YOU. And remember to vote S.A.C. if you want to see some changes made. Because S.A.C. is Taking Action, Attaining Access.


candidate
Nora Kobashigawa - Student Action Coalition

Aloha, UCSB! My name is Nora Kobashigawa and I am running for the position of Off-Campus Representative with the Student Action Coalition. While most candidates have specific agendas and aims they wish to accomplish, I run on the premise of creating a campus that will benefit all students and our UCSB as a whole. As a third-year Political Science and Japanese double major, a member of Student Lobby, and an active in the Greek system, my diverse interests compel me to strive for a unified student body with an increasing awareness of the power that lies in their hands. Studying political science has made me keen to issues of discrimination, injustice, and inequality that goes on everyday in our daily lives. As a member of Student Lobby I have acquired the skill and organization imperative in taking action against it. As a part of the Greek community, I yearn to see a greater role of activism from such a large body of students. But most of all, I yearn for a UCSB where our vision for a better community undergoes a transformation into actual action. That is what S.A.C. is about. Feel the passion that fuels the action. With this legacy of commitment, drive, and social activism that SAC has upheld, I vow to do my best to serve as your representative. So vote for me, Nora Kobashigawa, for Off-Campus Representative. SAC- Taking Action, Attaining Access! !


candidate
Thomas Fehrs - Students' Party

Howdy, my name is Thomas Fehrs and I am running for Off-Campus Representative. I'm a third year Political Science major and a member of A.S. Student Lobby, Campus Democrats and co-founder of the UCSB Foosball Club. My involvement with A.S. during my first two years was similar to most students here at UCSB. That is to say that I was not involved at all. Then this past summer I decided that instead of simply complaining about increasing student fees, exploitative landlords and police conduct that ranges anywhere from annoying to abusive I would actually get off my ass and do something about it. Thanks to the new more inclusive environment in A.S. that has been fostered by Students' Party I found a place to work on issues I was concerned with in IV. Through A.S. Student Lobby I have worked to improve police and community relations with the Fall Defensive campaign as well as the IV Cop Watch program. Looking ahead to next year I also would work on tenants' rights issues through the IV Tenants' Union because I see problems involving IV landlords as probably the single most widely felt quality of life issue for IV residents. I know that many of us feel that in recent years things have been getting worse in our community. I also know it doesn't have to be that way. This is why on April 18th we need to cast our votes for candidates who care about issues that affect all of us as students first and foremost.


candidate
Samantha Nevels - Students' Party

My name is Samantha Nevels, and I am running for Legislative Council Off- Campus Representative with Students' Party. I am currently a freshman living out at FT and double majoring in Political Science and Economics. Since arriving here at UCSB, I've gotten involved in many activities and only found a passion for wanting to do more to benefit my fellow peers. I've been involved in RHA with the Executive Board of FT North and several RHA conferences; and I have also been working with UniCamp and was chosen as Head Counselor Assistant by my peers in the organization. If elected, there are several things that I hope to focus on, such as: lowering the price of our overpriced textbooks, making our IV foot patrol more accountable and helping to eliminate the parental notification system, trying to stop the increasing fees being afflicted on UCSB students, and hopefully helping to start up the Freshman Cabinet to help incorporate the new freshman into our UCSB environment. The boards and committees that I hope to participate on next year are the Finance Board and Program Board. The financial issues affecting the UCSB students are quite important to me. We pay more for textbooks then other UC campuses and our fees are constantly being raised. I believe, as well as the rest of Students' Party, that higher education should accessible to anyone, but if we keep raising our prices that could soon prove impossible. So vote Students' Party, April 18-21 on Gold!

Chelsea Moore - Student Action Coalition

"Insanity is using the same methods to solve the same problems and expecting different results..." -Tavis Smiley

Hello my name is Chelsea Moore and I am running with the Student Action Coalition in this spring 2005 election for off campus representative. I am involved with the Black Student Union and Akanke her on campus. I am a second year business economics major who believes that there are various obstacles that different individuals and communities face both on this campus and on a global scale. These problems in our community need innovative and strategic solutions. For example, why are there numerous science buildings being built yearly, yet amount of money allocated to outreach services continues to decline. Our diverse representation of students plan to tackle this and many other issues when YOU give us the opportunity next year. The Student Action Coalition party at UCSB is equipped to tackle these issues and take action while attaining access!! www.VoteSac.com

Tiffany Pascual - Student Action Coalition

Hello, my name is Tiffany Pascual and I am running for Off-Campus Representative with Student Action Coalition. I am a second year Asian American Studies Major. During my two years at UCSB, I have been involved with Amnesty International, Kaptirang Pilipino and Student's for a Free Tibet. Currently, I am a dedicated member of Associated Student's Student Commission on Racial Equality (SCORE). As a member of SCORE, I actively worked on issues concerning militarization and the prison industrial complex(PIC) by providing workshops for freshman about the PIC, and advocating on behalf of SCORE in a rally regarding a bill to provide a comprehensive review of the ROTC on campus. I believe in working with other student movements on campus. I participated in events like Raza College Day and the Womyn of Color Conference to support organizations like El Congresso and Womyn's Commission. I enjoy interacting with the variety of progressively minded people here at UCSB and becoming involved with issues to reshape the policies and environment of this university. Through my involvement at UCSB, I have built relationships with professors, graduate students, kcsb news announcers, and staff members. As an elected member of legislative council I will voice the needs of underrepresented students to align with Student Action Coalition's vision of reaching out to womyn, people of color, the queer community, people with disabilities, and low-income students.

candidate
Ivan Rosales-Montes - Student Action Coalition

My name is Ivan Rosales and currently a third year student. As a current off-campus representative I have had the opportunity to see how this institution runs while serving the needs of the greater UCSB community. I am a strong believer in helping those in need, maintaining a green environment, and giving back to the community. I would not be here if it was not for the many people who have helped me along the way, so I take it upon myself to do the same; to help our neighbors who lack the resources to become successful. Currently I am a cultural intern with the Educational Opportunity Program, an organization that is dedicated in aiding our communities by offering valuable educational resources. We try to enrich the education of UCSB students and create a culturally welcoming environment. Through the Educational Opportunity Program, I have built the self-confidence and the organization skills that are key for a Legislative Council member. As an off campus representative I will work to build a positive and supportive community by establishing a strong line of communication and awareness, to ensure that our concerns as residents of the UCSB community are heard and addressed.

candidate
Asharg Molla - Student Action Coalition

Hello to all the students here at wonderful UCSB! My name is Asharg Molla and I’m a first year student majoring in Psychology. I’m running for Off-Campus Representative with the almighty Student Action Coalition. So far I have taken part in such organizations as Black Student Union, Akanke, Outreach, and Santa Rosa Hall Council. I have been here only a short time and am trying to make the most of my college experience. Part of that effort is becoming involved in the UCSB community and taking part in addressing the present issues that affect all UCSB students. I, like many others, believe in equality whole-heartedly and passionately. All students should have a chance, should have a voice, and should have an opportunity no matter what race, gender, sexual orientation, or physical ability. It will be a great time when we do not have to address the issues of diversity and equality, but until that time arrives, I want to be a part of this growing movement. I want to be a voice for all women, the queer community, minority groups, the disabled community, and all students as a whole. There are no limits to what we can achieve if we just open our eyes and work together. Student Action Coalition is the perfect group to lead the way. We care about the issues and the students, and it is our complete hope to make sure everyone’s time here at UCSB is as fulfilling as possible. Help us help you by voting for Student Action Coalition and Asharg Molla for Off-Campus Representative! Taking Action, Attaining Access!

Sarah Burstein - Students' Party

Hey students of UCSB! My name is Sarah Burstein, I am running with Students' Party and I want to represent those of you living in Isla Vista this upcoming year. You might be wondering out of all the candidates running for off campus representative, why should I get your vote? Well, this 2004- 2005 year I have been a hall representative for San Miguel and am the HIV/AIDS sex advisor for my floor. I speak my mind and am very opinionated (in a good way); if I see something I disagree with, specifically how an action will affect those I'm representing, I will speak up to protect your interests. I am motivated to represent you and your wants as residents of IV because your concerns and thoughts are the same issues that I have to deal with. Look, we all want to see IV improve and the sooner that we as students and residents cooperate together, the sooner these progressions can happen. I know that many of the issues are confusing, such as the bicycle and traffic laws. I'll do my best to clarify for us all because after going to school and work, the last thing you'll want to do is go to a meeting; that will be my responsibility, one I will be dedicated at doing. Support the group that is committed to supporting you. Have a Stupendous Spring quarter and vote for Sarah with Students' Party!

Amelia Holstrom - Students' Party

Police accountability. Tenants' rights. Cheaper textbook alternatives. These are just a few things that inspired me to run for off campus representative. My name is Amelia Holstrom and I'm a second year psychology major. As vice chair of Isla Vista Community Relations Committee, I have supported numerous programs locally including the Measure D campaign for an IV Community Center, outreach programs for local teens, and student lobby's fall defensive campaign. Students' Party has done many great things this year including the creation of AS Congress so that students' opinions can be heard and advances toward fiscal transparency in AS. Although these are great achievements, I believe there are still instrumental changes that need to be made on our campus and throughout IV. AS needs to hold IVFP responsible for their actions through complaint forms, an expanded copwatch program, and improved communication between the officers and residents of IV. Student Government should be responsible for educating tenants on their rights by offering more services through IV Tenants Union to help tenants fight back against selfish landlords. Work needs to be done to find cheaper textbook alternatives, such as international editions or peer-to-peer online stores. Students' Party and myself are tirelessly dedicated to these issues and others that pertain directly to all student interests on campus, equally and fairly. I am excited to continue work on Students' Party's current campaigns as well as make changes with new, creative campaigns to make students' lives easier and get their voices heard.

Adriana Wianecki - Students' Party

Hello again to all you beautiful Santa Barbarians. I'm Adriana Wianecki of Students' Party fame and would love the opportunity to serve all you suckas on next year's legislative council.

Alexandre Webster - Students' Party

My name is Alex Webster and I am running for Off-Campus Rep with Student's Party. UCSB is a hell of a place- I think we all know that. We're on the beach, in the sun, and rocking out to a great weekend life. Isla Vista, an integral part of UCSB, is a very unique place that is currently being muscled into submission by local authorities, and the voices of students living in IV are being shut out. I don't think we should just sit and watch our awesome community fall into the sea, so I want to represent Isla Vista in order to give students in IV a fair voice. I know what students want in Isla Vista and I am familiar with the struggles we all face. Students' Party has already done much for Isla Vista including working to open Claire's Park on Del Playa so that we can all have more space to live and relax. We saw that textbook prices were a burden on all of us, so we set up a system to make our bookstore bills cheaper. Students' Party has also worked to protect you from undue punishment with the Fall Defensive plan implemented earlier this year. Being a part of Students' Party will allow me to work alongside the strong leaders that brought you these great plans, and to make life better for all of you off-campus. Go Commando on 4/20 and Vote Webster! Peace out Isla Vista.
