A.S. Business Services Fee Initiative: Strongly Oppose
It seems like if any group on campus should be able to generate its own funding, it would be A.S. Business Services (ASBS) Committee.
Softball: Gauchos Wallop Riverside
The UCSB softball team (22-24, 6-2 in the Big West) needed to take care of business this weekend against UC Riverside (11-35, 1-7), and they definitely got the job done, winning both games of the series.
Broida Bikepath Initiative: Strongly Endorse
Whether a student ever travels to the remote Broida environs, he or she should support the Broida Bikepath Initiative to help out the students who do.
UCSB/MTD Bus Program Reaffirmation: Strongly Endorse
The $9.38-per-quarterlock-in fee students presently pay to get a free bus ride with a valid ACCESS card might seem a bit steep, but it can be a lifesaver in an emergency.
CLAS Support Fee Initiative: Strongly Endorse
Campus Learning Assistance Services (CLAS) is an indisputably valuable resource that approximately 7,000 students rely on annually to lessen the blow of killer classes.
Student Health Support Fee: Strongly Oppose
Simply put, Student Health Service doesn’t deserve an additional $7 quarterly fee, just like they don’t deserve the word “health” in their title.
A.S. SCORE Reaffirmation: Endorse
With Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger planning to cut 100 percent of state outreach funds, groups like the A.S. Student Commission on Racial Equality will prove invaluable in reaching out to members of underrepresented groups in the coming year.
Educational Opportunity Program: Strongly Endorse
The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) serves as a valuable resource for students by providing counseling, academic advising, outreach and mentorship, especially for those from low-income households and first-generation undergraduates.
A.S. Recycling Reaffirmation: Strongly Endorse
On a campus as beautiful as ours, it is important to continue our efforts to preserve the environment. A.S. Recycling, in addition to providing many students with employment, has continually done its job in promoting the importance of recycling throughout our campus.
A.S. Environmental Affairs Board: Strongly Oppose
The A.S. Environmental Affairs Board (EAB), once an aggressive activist organization, now does little to fulfill its mission to protect, preserve and enhance the natural outdoor environment at UCSB.
