Alfredo Barcenas: Ready for positive change next year By ERICA WONG Staff Writer

Newly elected Associated Students Incorporated (ASI) president Alfredo Barcenas promotes positive change amongst the student body. As a third year political science major, Barcenas has been involved in ASI for as long as he’s been on campus. ASI is a nonprofi t student organization with the motto “for the students, by the students.” It’s “student government and student representation at its fi nest,” said Barcenas. “But it’s also much more than that.” ASI makes sure that the student voice is heard when dealing with educational issues. Students are appointed to various committees with administrators and the president of the university to make sure their opinions are taken into account. Students are represented at the state level as well. Tuition, campus concerns, and bottleneck courses are all concerns that are addressed with state legislators to de- cide how to resolve these issues and keep in mind what’s best for students. ASI is mainly known for their events promoting school spirit and the box offi ce, but they also have other useful resources available to students. The College Legal Clinic offers free legal consulta- tion for students, and they have a graphics department that charges a reduced fee for students or faculty that may need visual art. Erica Wong | Chronicle Photo When running for president, Barcenas told students, Alfredo Barcenas has been elected as the ASI president for the 2014-2015 school year. He is enthusiastic about the position and is seeking more student input. “I don’t want to promise you things, because it makes me sound like a politician,” but he has many things on the that there is a big effort made by student government offi - important for Barcenas to make a lasting impact on our agenda for his upcoming term. cials to persuade Gov.
