By Phil Witte

Even though the
positions lack the glamour and prestige of the race for Associated
Students Inc. president, the positions of vice president and
treasurer are both vital positions to the organization.
Among other duties, the vice president presides over the weekly
A.S,I Senate meetings and the treasurer plays a major role
in doling out thousands of dollars in student fees that go
to campus student organizations every semester.
The three candidates for vice president are Konstantin Fedunin-Jarvis,
Shahrokh Sheik, and Amber Smith.
Fedunin-Jarvis is a junior criminal justice major and the
fundraising chair for Lambda Theta Phi.
He has no previous experience in student government, but said
he wants to get involved in student affairs and promote stewardship
among students.
Sheik is a senior international business major and the president
of the Law Society.
"I want to open up the lines of communication between
the students and A.S.I.," he said during last Wednesday's
candidate's forum.
He also said he wants to enhance the efficiency and productivity
of the ASI Senate.
Smith presented a detailed platform to students during last
week's forum, based she said, on talking directly to students,
she said.
"I want to improve the technology on the campus so we
can enroll by computers, not just VRR," she said. "I
want to increase environmental awareness by having more recycling
programs, and I want to provide more money for study abroad
programs."
The four students vying for the treasurer position are Ivette
Montoya, Aristotle Tsekouras, Alejandro Negrete and Patrick
Pendilla.
Montoya is currently
the vice president for Associated Business Students Organization
Council.
"If elected, I will help all student organizations and
I believe my experience in other organizations can help me
do this job," she said.
Negrete is a junior Chicano/Latino studies major and has been
a senator from the College of Liberal Arts for three semesters.
"I want to try to help student organizations as much
as I can and continue Rosa's [current A.S.I treasurer Hernandez]
legacy," he said.
Pendilla is a junior political science major.
In his personal statement, he said he wanted to see that all
funds are distributed to best benefit student organizations.
Tsekouras is a junior communications major and is currently
A.S.I public relations commissioner.
He said he wanted improve communication between the treasurer's
office and student organizations, and also to be the information
center for all financial questions.
The elections continue through Wednesday at 8 p.m.
