2005 Spring General
Election Supplement

I have a great deal of experience in student government, having been an active member of ASB for the past seven years. A few of the positions I have held are Treasurer, Historian, Rally Commissioner and President. I also have received other leadership accolades including Student Mentor of the Year, the Student-Athlete Award, and various leadership awards. I currently am a junior majoring in political science, international emphasis, and might add the double major of Global Studies or German. Recently, I was the first write-in candidate in UCSB history to be elected as a Resident Hall President, where I worked with RHA, my Executive Board, and my San Nicholas Hall Council to promote a healthy and fun college experience for students living in the Residence Halls and all students in general. I am looking forward to holding the position of Rep at Large in order to promote these benefits for all of my fellow on and off-campus students. Currently, I am chairman of Media Relations where my committee works as a liaison between all boards and committees of A.S. and media output. Having observed other parties in the past and present, I feel the Students' Party can bypass traditional organization and make more efficient use of resources in order to promote cooperation and coordination among students and the campus community. As an alternative to standard party commitments, I feel we can better represent students. Vote for the individual or the party in this election, and you'll reach the same result.

My name is Jennifer Greeley and I am running as a Representative at Large with Student's Party. As a member of the 2004-2005 Legislative Council, I have first-hand experience with Associated Student staff and motivated students. I take advantage of the vast opportunity created by Associated Students as an active member of Shoreline Preservation Fund, as Publicity Chair of AS Bikes, and as a participant of the Family Literacy Program maintained by the Community Affairs Board. The Education for Sustainable Living Program has allowed me to work with children of local schools on issues pertaining to the environment and I have utilized the knowledge I have gained from various conferences I have attended. Over the past months I have experienced students' involvement with the environment (CSSC Convergence), with the Government of California (Student Leadership Conference), and with funders and non-profits (Partnership for Excellence Conference). With my committees I have worked for bike path improvement, environmental education, conservation, and research, and for students representation on financial aid increases and tuition decreases. As a student privileged with a position in Associated Students, I am fortunate to be informed about campus-wide and nation-wide issues that affect other students as well as issues that affect the Isla Vista community. I am passionate for our wealth of knowledge here at the University and for the environment here in Santa Barbara, and I aim to enhance each.

My name is Raymond Meza and I'm running for a representative at large.
I am a 2nd year Political Science major and a current Legislative Council member. While on the council I have focused my efforts on building coalitions with student organizations, faculty, and staff on statewide issues that affect all students. Through my position on the Academic Senate's Undergraduate Council I have written position papers with the faculty that have opposed numerous UC policies that are detrimental to the quality of our education. First, the faculty of this campus due to the lobbying of S.A.C. members oppose an Excess Unit Fee Policy that would penalize students who take too many units outside of their major. Second, we have consistently opposed the Compact of Higher Education that annually raises student fees, reduces financial aid, and places limit on enrollment growth. Simply put, S.A.C and it's representatives have constantly opposed policies that would increase student fees and limit access to the UC. I am also a co-chair of the Queer Student Union I've witnessed the crunch that campus organizations are facing when seeking A.S. funds. In the wake of the current administrations failure to pass the "A.S. Intiative" S.A.C. will work hard to prioritze student resources and programming by establishing a Finance Board lock-in.

What up y'all, I'm Romy Lea Frazier and I am running with Students Party to be your Representative at Large for Legislative Council next year. I am a sophomore Global Studies major and I am currently serving as your Rep at Large, I just love it so much that I want to be a part of it all again! As the hall council president of La Patera Quad in Manzanita this year, I've learned that the most successful programs happen with the input of the students. I have and will continue to translate this to a larger scale by representing you and being your voice at the legislative council meetings.

My extensive involvement with numerous other organizations, for example Program Board, RHA and Commission On Public Safety have helped me realize my passion for serving students' interests. I work to solve pertinent issues surrounding our campus (IVFP using tasers, textbook prices, trust amongst AS- that includes you!) through student interaction and working with others. This year, it was brought to all of our attention that there's a lack of funding within AS. I want for the numerous boards and committees of AS to continue to exist and improve our community as they have. I will work to secure funds for the future so that positive programming can continue.

I'm here to learn; I'm here to listen, but most importantly help to make some of the most significant decisions on our campus with your input. Vote Students Party!!

What is important to YOU? What needs do you have? Have you ever felt passionate about an issue at UCSB, but felt no one cared to listen? My name is Christina Leets, and I am running for Rep-at-Large with Students' Party because I care about your needs and want to represent those needs! I am currently Vice-Chair of AS Community Affairs Board and have been helping UCSB students find volunteer work for the past two years. Through working in CAB, I have had the privilege of interacting with many on-campus groups and students to further community service opportunities. I also am a member of the Greek community and most recently held the position of New Member Educator. This position allowed me to understand the needs and concerns of members of the freshmen class. Aside from representing students' needs to the best of my ability, I hope to strengthen ties between the arrays of student groups on campus. I hope to create more opportunities for organizations to network their strengths through fairs, socials, and activities. I also realize funding is a major issue for many student groups at this time. To help alleviate this problem, while also strengthening ties between student groups, I plan to orchestrate fundraisers for all on-campus groups. This would advance networking opportunities within groups while addressing a major problem for student groups. Please give me the opportunity to represent you! The ideals of Students' Party, as well as my personal goals, will give you an amazing 2005-2006 school year. Rock on UCSB!
