CAMPUS ELECTIONS APRIL 28 & 29 BIG ELECTIONS ISSUE STATE PRIMARY June 2 STUDENT ALERT A SERVICE OF THE STUDENT UNION ASSEMBLY VOLUME 1, NUMBER 4 APRIL 2,1992 Student Votes could decide election: Student Power Goes to the Polls [Photograph] Brenna Green with her voter registration card at a recent anti-fee hike rally The Student Union Assembly is conducting a massive voter registration drive this quarter. Starting with the Course Enrollment Form (CEF) filing period, students at each college are coordinating a student-by-student push to get every student registered by the cut-off day in early May for the June election. Voters will be faced with a number of important choices on the ballot in June. These include the presidential primaries, in which Californians Jerry Brown and Larry Agran will face Bill Clinton for the Democratic nomination, and in which Pat Buchanan still hopes to oust incumbent George Bush on the Republican side. Also, the U.S. Senate primary will be on the June ballot. The 1992 Senate race in California is relatively unique; both of the state's Senate seats are up for grabs due to the appointment of Republican John Seymour to replace Pete Wilson, who won the governor's race in 1990. Such appointments must be approved by the voters at the See VOTERS page 3 Pister is Permanent The UC Regents, on March 20th, appointed Karl S. Pister as UC Santa Cruz's sixth permanent chancellor. Since August, Pister has served as interim chancellor of the campus. Pister, upon coming to Santa Cruz, instituted the Chancellor's Advisory Board, a body made up of faculty, staff, and students from a variety of groups, and he continues the Santa Cruz tradition of chancellor's office hours. Students who knew former Chancellor Robert Stevens, saw the difference immediately. "[Pister] spoke about multiculturalism, environmental sensitivity and undergrad education like he knew what he was talking about," recalls Steve Parks, a recent alum that met with Pister early in the summer, "I thought, this is no Robert Stevens." At the request of the SUA and numerous other students, Pister recently agreed to fund the Cowell Health Center so it will be able to re-open part of the service that was cut by last year's budget axe [see story]. Pister has also pledged to fully support the SAA/EOP program, and specifically, he wishes to provide space in the campus' outstanding Summer Bridge program for every student that qualifies by the summer of 1993. The efforts and dedication of the Third World Coalition, APISA, A/BSA, MEChA and SUA were pivotal in his decision. Pister's time here has hardly been without some amount of controversy. Students were outraged to find out that the University House, the chancellor's residence, underwent expensive and possibly unnecessary renovation as soon as he moved in. Some saw a contradiction in higher fees, fewer services, and the remodelling job. Pister defended the renovations as long-overdue and necessary. In his short time here, he has presided over a number of projects that will have major impacts on UCSC's future, once they are finalized in the coming months and years. Many students and faculty were disappointed in Pister's defense of the Music Facility, a massive concrete complex sited on the campus' sacred Great Meadow. While the project was put together long before his appointment, many people consider the decision a poor one. Many students and members of the local community, including the Student Union Assembly and the Santa Cruz See PISTER page 3 2005 Report Decides UCSC's Future The draft 2005 Report, released earlier this year, is currently being debated by faculty, students and other concerned community members. The report, a draft academic plan through the year 2005, was the product of the 2005 Committee. Jorge Hankamer, a noted linguist, chaired the committee and currently sits as the Associate Academic Vice-Chancellor for Planning and Special Project.. Hankamer is overseeing the entire 2005 academic planning process. Unfortunately, his committee had no student representation; two years ago, Academic Vice-Chancellor R. Michael Tanner reasoned that this was an academic issue, and only faculty were qualified to deal with it in such early stages. Now that the 2005 Report is in draft form, however, the campus community has been invited to comment on the report and submit suggestions. The SUA and the Academic Senate will be sponsoring a Public Meeting on the draft 2005 plan on Monday, April 6th in the Kresge Seminar Room at 7:00 PM. All students have been encouraged to comment The SUA and the Academic Vice-Chancellor's office has placed copies of the draft 2005 Report in each college office, the library, and the Student Center. Call the SUA at 459-2899 for further details. Health Center to Reopen Evenings At the request of members of the Student Union Assembly and after complaints from students and faculty across campus, the Chancellor has agreed to reopen the Cowell Health Center during the evening hours from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. In previous years, the Health Center had been open for infirmary and emergency services for 24 hours. However, last year's budget cuts hit this program, and the Health Center was forced to close its doors at night. During the day, students were unhappy for the long wait and many students who could not afford the downtown medical services were forced to wait until morning for care. While many other vital campus functions were cut back by the budget shortfall, the Health Center became a rallying point for students. Many saw this as a reflection of the national commitment to health care. Early this year, student leaders brought the issue of the Health Center's truncated hours before Chancellor Pister at the Chancellor's Advisory Board. At the time, he professed no knowledge of the cuts, but was quick to act after he had been briefed on the subject. WANTED: Hard-Working, Dedicated Students Are you bored with the apathetic life? Yearning to throw off the yoke of oppression? The Student Union Assembly is the place for YOU! The SUA meets biweekly on Wednesdays at 6:00 PM. Locations vary, college to college. There are three representatives from each college, and three campuswide officers [see story page 2, for more detail on the-SUA]. SUA Reps are required to go to the biweekly meetings plus they must be active in one of the Assembly's campaigns (such as anti-fee hikes, responsible growth, etc). Reps are also responsible for keeping their colleges informed of campus-wide issues, usually by attending the college council meetings. Reps are generally required to put in between 8-10 hours per week, including meeting time. Full course credit internships are available. All Assembly seats are up for re-election this spring for next academic year; contact your college council for de tails, or call the SUA directly at 459-2899. Seats available for the remainder of this academic year (apply now): Cowell (1) Oakes (3) College VIII (1)
