The IVTU educates tenants on their rights and responsibilities and acts as a resource when problems arise. The IVTU hopes to build a sense of community in Isla Vista, one that is educated, proactive and united. In 2000 UCSB students passed a $1 lock-in fee, which provides operating funds needed for the IVTU’s educational activities. Projects in 2001-2002 included: •A tenants’ outreach drive held in February 2002 to distribute 4,000 renters’ rights booklets and launch the landlord evaluation program developed by IVTU, AS Legal Services, IV Community Relations and other housing experts. •La Pachanga de Inquilionos-Tenants Jam, a night of celebration and inspiration for IV tenants. The event included food, live music, IVTU information and various speakers. •The El Encanto Project, an organized effort to support the building of an 18-unit affordable housing development in Goleta. Twenty IVTU members attended a Board of Supervisors meeting to endorse and advocate for the project. •The IVTU took an increasingly active role in the Goleta cityhood hearings.

The director of Isla Vista relations served as one of the university’s representatives to master plan efforts; to the Isla Vista community safety group; and to the Teen Center selection committee; and represented the university on the community center project committee. Also during this reporting period, three associate deans, whose job descriptions were expanded in 99-00 to include formal responsibilities for Isla Vista, expanded and intensified their work in IV.

My name is Jason Garshfield, and I am running for AS president with the Free Thinking Patriots, a party I helped found. As president: I will do my part to improve the affordability of a UCSB education by carefully reviewing the AS budget and eliminating all wasteful spending of our student fees. I will take a stand against the burgeoning police state in Isla Vista. In a community where violent crimes such as sexual assault are all too common, we should devote limited police resources towards apprehending dangerous criminals, not hassling students for victimless crimes. I will preserve Isla Vista's identity as a unique niche community. I will be a strong advocate for free speech, expanding 'free speech zones' on campus and eliminating speech codes that curtail students' freedom of expression. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has given UCSB a “yellow lightâ€​ ranking for its speech codes. I consider this Jason Garshfield unacceptable for a university of our caliber. Free Thinking Patriots (F.T.P.) I will develop a credible plan for Isla Vista self-governance that allows this town to reach its full potential, and creates spaces for responsible businesses that serve the community. I will reform AS by simplifying the elections code, eliminating cumbersome regulations that serve as barriers to entry for ordinary students who would like to become involved in school politics.

Melting glaciers and shrink- ing polar ice caps continue to raise sea level and alter ocean ecosystems. The intensification of ocean acidification threatens coral reefs and many shelled organisms. Fisheries continue to decline. For- tunately, public awareness of the need for better stewardship of the oceans is growing and steward- ship of the environment is high on the agenda of presidential candidates for both major parties. This renewal of interest in our planet’s oceans is heartening and MSI has been contributing the scientific knowledge that is both fostering public awareness and providing a roadmap to solving these prob- lems. Here are just a few examples: Research into the biological effects of ocean acidification by EEMB faculty member Gretchen Hofmann is revealing how calcifying organisms such as sea urchins, a major local fishery, and pteropods, a major food item for Pacific salmon, are adversely affected by increased ocean acidity.
