BUE Number 2
It's time to choose the Academic Affairs Veep. If this year was any indication, the main role of the AAVP is to whine ineffectively to the administration about things like schedules and deadlines.
Andy Ratto gets the endorsement because he asked me for it. Yeah, that's good enough for me. He also supports inflammatory rhetoric in classes, which makes them more fun.
Jason Dixon is the least objectionable out of the remaining folks, despite saying the absurd:
"Putting Students First means advocating for the students' voice and letting the University know a 2nd week Drop Deadline is unacceptable."
I accept it, and by doing so, prove you wrong. Haha, loser.
"Going to Cal, a world-class institution, we can improve this campus and get the education we deserve, because now, each year the funding that goes to students always runs out," he said.
Parse that bad boy.
Brandon Smith, also on a webpage titled "Justine Lazaro for President," supports using the ASUC to expand mental health services, and presumably supported the Health Care Referendum, which is odd, because one of his complaints is
"Students today are faced with massive fee increases and declining aid, causing us to spend more time worrying about paying for school rather than doing well in it."
"Junior Brandon "B Safe" Smith says he can achieve tangible goals without just giving lip service to them."
Oooh, I'm tired of lip service. His tangible goals are... uh... helping students de-stress?
Matt Werner of BEARS-United has this clear and unambiguous goal:
"But mostly, we need to get more student feedback and promote general academic welfare on our campus."
"We've got a new, fresh approach because we're not entrenched in the partisan, two-party system," he said. "We don't have to answer to anyone."
Not even the by-laws, apparently.
Finally, Josie Hyman has a stupid name.
"I guarantee, we could increase the black and Latino population on campus, no doubt in my mind. We know how to make it a priority as a campus this year."
Uh... some guarantee... I wonder if this is going to be a "mystery plan" that we only get to hear if she gets elected.
