2008 Election Supplement

External Vice President, Local Affairs

Reagan "Zekee" Silos - Open People's Party (O.P.P.)

What's up UCSB? My name is Reagan ÒZekeeÓ Silos, and I am a 4th year Global Studies major with a minor in Education. I've worked for and with a number of entities on campus, from Residential Life to Summer Sessions, from Student Affairs to various campus departments. I want to finish my time here at UCSB continuing to work for you on issues that matter to you.

Although I have a few things that I personally want to accomplish, such as

preventing tenants from getting taken advantage of with the creation of a community housing guide,
preventing parking from getting too costly/having to pay for parking in IV through continued lobby efforts,
increasing student input through use of a more user-friendly AS website,
and raising awareness of university and community resources to students by bringing the resources to YOU,

I ultimately want to work on the issues where you, the students, have the most concern. I want to implement more ways for you all to have a say in what's going on. UCSB is an amazing place already, and if elected, I will need your ideas, your opinions, and most importantly, your help to make UCSB even better.

I know how to manage a team. I know how to lead. I know how to be a team player while leading. I could try and convince you of all this, but I'd rather meet you and talk to you. Feel free to send me a Facebook message, find me at Student Health or the Computer Science Instructional Lab (where I work), or look out for me in the Arbor.

Elect Zek for EVPLA! You down with OPP and me?

Liz Buda - Student Voice!

Hi! My name is Liz Buda and I'm YOUR candidate for the External V.P. of Local Affairs. We know that students are the majority of the Isla Vista population, yet they're taken advantage of by landlords, elected officials and the Foot Patrol. We need someone with the EXPERIENCE to advocate for I.V. and effectively represent students on a local level.

Since my first year, I've been dedicated to improving I.V. as:

The ChillaVista Organizer, I coordinate the twice yearly festival that celebrates all things I.V.
The I.V. Community Coordinator for Associated Students, I established relationships with community members, funded programs and events for IV, and expanded cheaper rates for Bill's Bus.
The Project Advisory Committee Student Rep, I advocate for students in the I.V. Master Plan and work to save the Pardall Palms.
Off-Campus Representative for Legislative Council, I represent I.V. residents to the Associated Students.

If elected, I plan to:

Work with county officials to change laws and make them student-friendly, such as the zero-tolerance noise ordinance.
Keep landlords accountable, so that rent prices are affordable and tenants' rights are protected.
Create a Copwatch program to ensure that the Foot Patrol isn't abusing its power.
Advocate for I.V.'s open spaces and promote the uniqueness of our community that we live in and love.

U.C.S.B. needs someone with the EXPERIENCE and PASSION to make a difference in our local community. I am that candidate. Vote Liz Buda for E.V.P.L.A! Vote Student VOICE!
