Joshua Lenhof was an unsuccessful candidate for ASUCD Senate in Spring of 2006, running on the Ignite slate.
Candidate Statement
Vote Joshua Lenhof: IGNITE SLATE.
My name is Joshua J. Lenhof; I grew up in Scripps Ranch, which is as Southern California as one can get, where I learned to surf and play club soccer. I have attended UC Davis for the last three years and am working on a major in Exercise Biology. In addition, I am conducting a research project in collaboration with John Labavich, and Alonso Perez concerning the effects and symptoms of Pierces Disease on grape vines. Currently, I am involved with First Baptist Church and the UCD Racquetball Club.
However, I am first and foremost a student and I have been around long enough to understand what people approve of and disapprove of on our campus. Thus, the primary reason I am running for a senate position is to have an impact on our campus. I will transform this campus by improving the services that students use on a daily basis and cut out useless spending on aspects that obviously don't benefit students as a whole. Trust me; I am going to be an actual leader, unlike other senators in the past who do not have their act together. I am willing to take chances and pursue legislation that is actually meaningful and important to students like me.
Things I want to change:
-
Anyone driving to attend late classes or wants to exercise at the Arc in the evenings knows how annoying it is to find PARKING!!! Thus, I want to change the parking rules to allow people without parking permits to park on campus after 7:00 p.m. instead of 9:00 p.m. on Fridays.
-
What actually happens with all those student evaluations you fill out? Nothing really. Since picking the right professor is quite important I wish to implement a system which provides UCD students with a Course catalogue like book providing actual student feedback about certain professors.
-
I will work with student friendly businesses to open a 24hr coffee shop in order to reduce the number of people in the library reading room and provide another study atmosphere for people who study late at night.
