Students
at Cal State Long Beach coming back from Spring Break will be faced with yet
another week of seeing campaign posters as they walk to class.
The
incumbent team of John Haberstroh and Jon Bolin won the most votes for
President and Vice-President, with Haberstroh receiving 49% of the vote and
Bolin receiving 43%. Yet neither one received more than 50% plus one vote,
which means they will both be facing runoffs which will take place online this
week Tuesday through Thursday. Results of the runoff will be announced this
Friday at 1pm at the SouthWest Terrace.
The incumbent President and Vice-President
will also be running against candidates of different teams. Haberstroh will be
running against Sean Zent of the team Sean and Larry, while Bolin will be
running against Deshe Gully of team JAD. JAD team member Agatha Gucyski was
elected ASI Treasurer in a landslide with 64% of the vote, with Andrew Carnes
coming far behind at 27%.
Alejandra
Hernandez, Ariane Nguyen, and John Zacha were all elected to the Isabel
Patterson Child Center Board of Trustees. David Hayter, Wendy Casillas, and
Michelle Morales were elected to the Student Media Board. Jessica Corral, Kayla
Huynh, Patricia Abellenosa, Nicholas Smith, and Tony Hoang were elected to the
University Student-Union Board of Trustees. Elham Koukabi-Koukabi, Melanie
Hawe, and Isai Reyes were elected to the Academic Senate. Vanessa Mendoza,
Dominique Noble, Erika Suarez, Rain Gregorio, Brandon Ratner, and Grant Oliver
were all elected Senator-at-Large.
By
an overwhelming majority, students voted to make CSULB a smoke-free campus,
with Referendum #2 passing with 64% of the vote. Referendum #1, an Amendment of
Associated Student Bylaws, also passed overwhelmingly with 70% of the vote.
Also
part of the elections were positions for 12 Senate seats, two from each of the
school’s six colleges. Union Staffer Alison (not Allison) Ernst was elected
Senator for the College of Business Administration, along with Isaac Pineda.
Tuan Nguyen and Andrew Siwabessy were elected Senators for the College of
Engineering. Danny Hargreaves and Gregory Ruiz were elected Senators for the

for the College of Liberal Arts. Anh Tran and Rhea-Comfort Addo were elected
Senators for the College of Natural Science and Mathematics. And Allyson Roach
and Kelley Bowen were elected Senators for the College of Health and Human
Services.
Although the 15% turnout record from
last year was broken, only 19% of students voted in the election for ASI
President and Vice-President. The election for Senator for the College of
Business Administration had the highest turnout with 21.24% of business
students voting. The election for Senator for the College of Liberal Arts had
the second highest turnout with 21.04% of Liberal Arts students casting ballots
