2006 Spring General
Election Supplement

Presidential Candidates


candidate
Jacob "Jake" Lehman - Chillavista

Hello UCSB! I am a third year Global Studies Major, Chinese Minor, and am running for president in the newly formed ChillaVista Party. On one hand, ChillaVista is a sustainable music/arts/educational street festival that will occur in June 2006. One the other hand, Chillavista is a subjective experience, in which each student will define his/her own definition of Chillin' in the (Isla) Vista. It is the ChillaVista party's goal to create an environment where each student can pursue his/her own passions and individual vision of Chillin'.

Background: Since fall of my sophomore year, I have received a 3.8 GPA taking between 19-26 units each quarter. This rapid pursuit of academic accomplishment has enabled me to graduate my third year...this June. However, I recently decided to run for AS President, because I wanted to stay and continue the work I am doing on and off campus.

I currently hold many leadership positions at UCSB. I am the Vice-Chair of the Isla Vista Community Relations Committee, Co-Chair of the Education for Sustainable Living Program, Co-Founder/Chair of Santa Barbara Education Embracing Democracy, Co-Coordinator of Students for Impeachment, Co-Coordinator of Students Teaching Alcohol and other drug responsibility, and facilitator of the Sociology group studies project Soc 194: ChillaVista.

As you can see, I live and breathe UCSB. I ask for your vote, which will enable me to continue my passionate work, helping make UCSB the most progressive campus in the nation. Together, we can teach the whole world the art of Chillin' in IV!

candidate
Jared Goldschen - Open People's Party (O.P.P.)

Hello, my name is Jared Goldschen and I am ready to be your next A.S. President. Having been President of the Residence Halls Association for the past two years, I have developed a thorough understanding of the university system and its functions. I have a passion for UCSB and for making it a better place for all students who attend. As a leader of this school, I am prepared to steer our students towards a brighter and more rewarding future. I strongly believe in the practice of tactful, open, and respectful communication.

I am a proactive leader and I always put my constituents first. The A.S. President should be there to serve and represent the undergraduates at UCSB and take on the issues that the students feel are most important. My sole motive is to use the skills that I have developed as a leader and my understanding of A.S. to enhance the quality of life at UCSB for all students before it is time for them to graduate.

I am very well connected with the UCSB administration and feel that I can use my established relationships to the advantage of all students. Our school needs an active, selfless, and responsible leader, one who will put the students and their rights first. I ask that when you vote, you consider your ethics and morals and vote for the candidate you feel will lead this campus the strongest. My name is Jared Goldschen, and my door is always open.

Romy Lea Frazier - Students' Party

Howdy again! I'm Romy Lea Frazier aka "Romy the Homie." :o) I would love to be your next AS president because I know I have the EXPERIENCE, CAPABILITY and DESIRE to fulfill the position. Currently I am serving my second term as a Representative at Large on Legislative Council, which gives me the internal experience that makes me the best candidate for the job. I have a long history of student leadership, including my involvement in the Residence Halls Association for over two years, AS Program Board, AS Student Commission on Racial Equality, AS Commission on Public Safety, and the Isla Vista Project Area Committee among others.

I am VERY DETERMINED to continue working on issues that students brought to AS and Students' Party over the last few years such as: working to lower student fees, maintaining fiscal transparency, a reasonable noise ordinance in IV, and an accountable local law enforcement while increasing communication with you, yes you, to keep me and Students' Party on track. We have already succeeded in saving you $492 in student fees for next year, and more can be done. STUDENTS' PARTY represents the voice of every single student, and as President, I personally seek your input and welcome you to e-mail me at romylea@hotmail.com to assure your voice is heard.
When it comes to AS, I am the most qualified and I will not let you down. If you want experience, accountability, and more good times, Be a Homie, and VOTE FOR ROMY!!
