Tuesday, 4/22/97 GSA elections Candidate for President: Andrew
J. Westall
Andrew J. Westall (urban planning) Candidate for president Are
you tired of GSA not doing anything??? Are your fees about to go
up? On-campus traffic got your down? And what about that union??
Perhaps you could care less because you already receive benefits,
but you still have needs that aren’t being met. Or maybe you would
like to see SAGE secure a collective bargaining agreement. If these
questions have been going through your mind in the last year, they
have definitely been on mine. As an alumni of UC Davis, and now
M.A. student in urban planning here at UCLA, I have always had an
interest in campus politics. I also believe that we need effective
leaders to deal with important issues which may seem
inconsequential. What has disturbed me more than anything … the
concentration of resources toward external issues, and not issues
on campus. I am a leader who understands the importance of campus
issues, and I know what I can accomplish over the next year if
elected. I propose a 7-point platform which GSA would use to rally
its resources around. These include 1) obtaining recycling
containers and placing them around campus to separate trash, glass,
paper, and plastic; 2) secure a freeze in Professional fees; 3)
advocate the need for SAGE to secure a collective bargaining
agreement for Liberal Arts students, while at the same time
addressing the needs of students (primarily in the sciences) who
differ with SAGE; 4) restrict on-campus traffic where feasible to
University vehicles; 5) better coordination of resources with
ASUCLA; 6) promote lobbying in Sacramento addressing educational
issues; 7) bring a Spring festival (including contemporary bands,
foods, and crafts) to campus for an entire weekend. If you vote for
Andrew J. Westall for President on April 23-30, that’s exactly what
you will get. Please vote.
