Schuster the most qualified candidate
Nat Schuster is the only candidate with the knowledge and
experience to implement his platform goals, ranging from
establishing a business minor and providing pre-professional
counselors to expanding student-initiated education and education
abroad options.
As President of the Jewish Student Union, Schuster united the
Muslim and Jewish communities to advocate halal and kosher meal
options in the dorms, worked to expand Education Abroad Programs to
the Middle East, and developed the Genocide Awareness Film Series
with leadership of the Armenian, Darfur activist, and on-campus
housing communities.
As Academic Supports director and an Academic Senate
representative, Schuster developed an array of unique academic
empowerment programs, worked to implement student-facilitated
courses, and voiced student concerns to policy makers resulting in
student-friendly academic policies.
As a resident assistant, Peer Helpline listener and pre-med
student, Schuster possesses insight and awareness of the academic
stresses that face so many students. His concrete programing and
unmatched advocacy experiences will benefit every student at
UCLA.
Schuster is easily the most qualified candidate for Academic
Affairs in years.

Bogeberg committed to openness
I am glad to see that general representative candidate Christian
Bogeberg is carrying on the Bruins United legacy of promoting an
open student government.
This has been something Bruins United councilmembers and our
predecessors have worked on for years.
Bogeberg has an in-depth understanding of the importance of
funding for all student groups since he was one of the founders of
an independent student group, the Fellowship for International
Service & Health.
Until August 2004, independent student groups were unable to
apply for funding from USAC. Because this change is relatively new,
Bogeberg’s commitment to ensuring that the funding process is
clear and transparent is vital.
In addition, I am glad to see Bogeberg’s creative ways of
trying to increase USAC’s visibility through podcasts. I have
always been a strong advocate of getting more people involved in
student government and I believe we need to approach this in as
many ways as possible.
Finally, Bogeberg reaches out to many parts of campus that have
been neglected by our student government.
His idea of bringing together secular and religious service
groups in a Humanitarian Summit is a great example of how his
willingness to reach out will greater serve our campus and
community.
