More Than Numbers Flashmob

ASI President Chris Chavez, center, and other students pose Wednesday afternoon for a photo during the “More than Numbers Flashmob” event in the University Student Union. The pose was in the shape of a number one (see above image). Chavez said that the flashmob was part of a larger campaign and concentrated effort with other student governments to mobilize students to rally against further student cuts. “We are more than numbers!” Chavez said to the crowd. “We are Long Beach!”

HeadSTRONG "Genes" Day

ASI Senator-at-large Isai Valdez, a senior criminal justice major, paints a pair of jeans during HeadSTRONG’s “Be Comfortable in your ‘Genes’ Day” event on Monday afternoon. HeadSTRONG displayed the pairs of jeans, which featured slogans like “Real women have curves,” on the Friendship Walk throughout the afternoon. “I know a lot of people who deal with self-image issues,” Valdez said. “This event is a good way to get [the message] out there that it’s not all about self-image.”

Cookies for Cuts

ASI President Chris Chavez takes aim to throw a pie at the Sacramento state capital during the Cookies for Cuts event at the University Student Union Southwest Terrace on Tuesday. Cookies for Cuts was part of a statewide bake sale event to raise awareness of the funding cuts to the CSU system. Event organizers said that the more money Sacramento takes from the CSU system, the “longer the CSUs will be in this cookie crumble,” according to a press release.

President's Mixer

Isaac Choice, a senior accounting major and president of the Black Business Student Association, bowls a frame during the President’s Mixer at the University Student Union on Wednesday. Officers from campus organizations and clubs mingled, ate Sbarro’s pizza and salad, drank soda and bowled games. “It gives students a chance to come and network and go bowling, and to talk about what ASI can do for you,” Beach Pride Coordinator Chance Decker said in a press release.

Leadership at it is best

The race for ASI election has started, and the campus has been littered with signs of candidates, the positions they are running for, and to ask to vote for them. A series of three candidates (president, vice-president, and treasurer) have proclaimed themselves as "leadership at it is best" (this sign is outside the CBA). Sorry guys, I'll pass on someone who can't even discern between "its" and "it's."

As if that wasn't bad enough, I just tried to go to the website that is listed on the signs. I can't see the link too well in the picture, but neither sfs-weebly.com nor do sis-weebly.com work.
