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. -
Hitch Announces He Will Resign As UC President
Hitch announces he will resign as UC President Surprise move shocks Regents meeting, will step down from post in June 1975 By Carol Mock University President Charles J. Hitch resigned last Friday saying-"I think 65 is- a good time to retire from this kind of pressure job." His resignation, which is effective next June, came as a surprise to most of those at the Regents meeting in San Francisco where he made his announcement. His contract extends another two years into 1977. "By next June 30 I will be 65 years old and will have completed seven and one-half years as President of the University," said Hitch. "I believe that 65 and 7% are reasonable and appropriate numbers in present-day circumstances." ' Hitch told the Regents "Everyone holding this FIODLER FESTI V A L -T h e third annual Old Timer Fiddlers' Convention was held yesterday on UCen kind of position accumulates barnacles, which lawn and treated over 2500 people to an afternoon of fiddling.

President Internal Vice President External VP, Local Affairs External VP, Statewide Affairs Student Advocate General Collegiate Senator Off-Campus Senator On-Campus Senator University Owned Off-Campus Senator Candidates for President Let's talk, UCSB. 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 light†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.
