Ramon "Albert" Garcia

Hey UCSB! My name is Albert Garcia and I am ready to be your next Student Advocate General.

The Office of the Student Advocate is an official service of Associated Students which assists students accused of violating the University Code of Student Conduct.

My goal, as an established leader of this campus, is to take my skills and experience and use them to act as an effective advocate for students' rights and also oversee any violations of these rights. Whether its issues with Parking Services, getting C.A.S.E. for doing absolutely nothing, or being accused of cheating, I am able and willing to fight to protect your rights.

I've served as President of Francisco Torres South Tower
I was on the Residence Hall Association (RHA) Board as a 1st year
I was an RA in the Santa Cruz Residence Hall (love my boys in the 1200's)
I've been an active member in the Greek community and am currently serving as my fraternity's' Social Chair.
I've interned at the District Attorney and Public Defenders offices in San Diego

I'm looking forward to meeting as many new people as possible throughout elections. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via Facebook or email at rgarciaucsb@gmail.com.

Thanks and Go Gauchos!
Albert Garcia

Chad Mandala

Hello!

My name is Chad Mandala and I am running for the chance to be your 2009-2010 Student Advocate General. The purpose of this position is to ensure that you as a student know what your rights as a student are, the policies, regulations and policies of the University that affect you as a student here at UCSB. The Student Advocate General also serves as an entity that seeks to ensure that your opinions as a student are taken into account in all the decisions made at the University.

It is this responsibility of the Student Advocate General that has caused me to pursue the position. Over the past year, I have served as your representation as a student on a number of academic issues regarding undergraduate students here at UCSB through my time on the Academic Senate?s Committee on Undergraduate Academic Programs and Policies. As your student representative to this committee, I have argued on your behalf to ensure that the struggles you face as a student are taken into account when decisions are made that directly affect your education.

My goal for next year is to ensure that you as a student are this University?s first priority. It is you as a student that makes this university the spectacular academic institution that it is; ultimately, without you there would not be a university. I will ensure that you as a student are always considered when this university tries to pass policy that entails you and your education.

Christopher "The Party Scene" Par - Independent

CHRIS PAR is here to fight for YOUR right to PARty!

Since pioneering the UCSB PARTY SCENE on FACEBOOK and holding office as CO-PRESIDENT of FT NORTH last year, I've always represented YOU and will continue to as STUDENT ADVOCATE GENERAL.

I justify our Friday and Saturday nights by the hard work we put in during the week. After my shit's handled, I want to go out and rage! This is the beauty of UCSB: the balance. Yet, IVFP has cracked down on our weekends more than ever this year, with the introduction of the SOCIAL HOST ORDINANCE and the heavy enforcement of the 12 O'CLOCK COCK BLOCK that is the zero tolerance NOISE ORDINANCE.

Every guacho knows that the party don't stop til 6 in the morning and I want to make sure your voice is heard and your rights are protected. I will use FACEBOOK to organize peaceful protests and bridge the lack of communication between the UCSB community and student government. Your vote counts!
