NOAH BIESIADA Daily Titan After the Associated Students Inc. executive team debates last Thursday, ASI is preparing for the election cycle over Tuesday and Wednesday, where the next board of trustees, board of di- rectors and presidential team will be chosen. Tristan Torres, the current board of directors chair for ASI, is running for president with former ASI executive of- fice employee Alexa Flores as his running mate. Torres has experience serv- ing as the College of Natural Science and Mathematics rep- resentative on the board in ad- dition to his current role. Flores is the executive director of the College Legal Clinic funded by ASI. One of their campaign’s primary goals is to increase on-campus recognition of ASI and its purpose. “A lot of times people know ASI as the people with free shirts or the free food, and ASI offers so much more than just that.
