Chancellor to hear students in two ways
Chancellor Albert Carnesale will offer two ways for students to
voice their concerns, comments, and neuroses: in office hours, and
a debut Town Hall meeting.
In an e-mail sent to all Bruin Online accounts, Chancellor
Carnesale announced that his next next office hours will be held on
Monday, November 17, at 1:30 p.m., in his office in 2147 Murphy
Hall.
Students who are interested in signing up for office hours, call
the Chancellor’s office at 52121 or e-mail to
officehours@conet.ucla.edu.
Scheduled appointments must be made by 6 p.m., Wednesday,
November 12th. All responses received by that time will then be
placed into a lottery system to ensure fairness.
In addition, on Nov. 24, from noon to 1 p.m., the Chancellor
will be sponsoring a Town Hall Meeting.
The Town Hall will be held in the Ackerman 2nd Floor Lounge,
which is adjacent to the Ackerman Grand Ballroom. Light
refreshments will be served. Appointments are not necessary for the
Town Hall meeting.
Rival schools battle via canned food
The first shot this year in the unending rivalry between USC and
UCLA came from the USC Student Senate who challenged UCLA to a
canned food drive competition. The food drive itself is a renewal
of a competition started in 1992.
The competition never took hold as a tradition, but now student
governments from both USC and UCLA wish to take part to forge this
new rivalry.
The food drive will tentatively begin on Tuesday and will
continue until kickoff of the USC v. UCLA game on November 22.
Collection sites will be positioned throughout the campus.
"Right now we have two collection sites set-up: one in the
President’s Office, and one in the Daily Bruin Offices," said Abbi
Carlin-Resnick, Community Service Commissioner. "We hope to have
five more sites set up."
To help increase their totals, officials at UCLA hope to have
their donation matched by a grocery store in the community.
The recipient for the food has not been named, although the
Westside Food Bank and the Hunger Project are possible.
The results will be announced at half-time of the USC vs. UCLA
game. The winner of the rivalry will receive The Canned Food
Trophy, a mysterious, undescribed prize said to "embody the spirit
of the contest."
Jesting on why USC would start this new tradition in the rivalry
between the schools, Internal Vice President Carol Lee said, "I
guess they want to do it, ’cause they can’t win at anything
else."
You, too, can be a Regent
Applications have gone out for those who want to be the 24th
student Regent.
The student representative to the Board of Regents is a full
voting member, having the ability to establish policy in such areas
as affirmative action, student fees, admissions, and financial aid.
The Board also oversees the financial management of the University
of California system, and makes major appointments such as
Chancellors and the President of the University.
The student Regent serves one full year, starting July 1, 1998.
The application covers academics, a personal statement, and a
question pertaining to the Board itself. Applications are available
in the Student Media offices, and are due in the Chancellor’s
office by Nov. 14.
