Average attendance was thirty. ♦The Isla Vista Tenants Union, formed during the 1998-99 academic year, is a group of concerned residents interested in providing services to UCSB students who are tenants in Isla Vista, along with other tenants in the IV community. 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. -

Our research portfolio continues to diversify with an ever growing set of funders representing a very large array of government agencies, private industry, non-profit foundations and individuals. Discoveries by MSI researchers are revealing wondrous new aspects of ocean systems from new insights into the ecology of coral reefs to the effects of ocean acidification. This new knowledge continues to improve our basic understanding of the seas and the wide range of services that they provide to society. I am proud of the contribution that our scientist make to society’s knowledge as these discoveries continually teach us how to be better stewards of the ocean realm. While ocean discovery is key to our mission, MSI researchers also act on this knowledge to solve pressing issues associated with the constructive use of ocean resources. -

It is an inspiring facility and location, and it has taken the hard work of many individuals to make it a reality. At UCSB in the 1980’s and 1990’s, Marine Science facilities could be described as dispersed, inadequate, and not up to the standards of a world class research institution. Long-standing efforts to get a facility approved and built had met with no success. However, things began to change with the identification of a State of California program that provided a financing mechanism for research facilities dedicated to long-term scientific activities. -

While the rivalry is one that expands across genera- tions of athletes, students and fans, the classic match has consistently increased in popularity on a national scale. Since the start of the 2007 season, the total amount of people that have witnessed the Gaucho-Mustang battle exceeds the 200,000 mark. The contest has even surpassed the attendance num- bers of postseason competition that has occurred in both NCAA Tournament and College Cup games, resulting in eight of the highest attended collegiate games in the U.S. in the last four years. Although on the road, last Saturday’s attendance of 11,075 signaled the seventh sellout for a Cal Poly men’s soccer game in program history. -
