ASI does a lot more than people see on the surface. It takes a lot of work behind the scenes to prepare the budgets, hold meetings, prepare for activities,etc. to keep programs on campus running smoothly. Thank you everyone in ASI who is volunteering countless hours to make our school better. I’m grateful to have the representation of ASI on campus. ASI does a lot more than people see on the surface.

Sometimes organizations face bad years. That doesn't excuse the high turnover rate, but that wasn't ASI's problem, it was the problem of the people who came into office who weren't able to keep the position. I don't think that ASI is an inherently bad organization because of what happened with previous executives, though. We're all college students and mistakes are made--it's just that the previous executives got caught for their mistakes. It is frustrating as students to see an organization that exists to represent them appearing to fail. But despite the turnovers, I really think that ASI is still doing its ultimate mission to serve students. If nothing else, ASI supports (funds) a lot of popular and useful programs that are for students and for that it shouldn't be regarded as useless organization.

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 18:33:13 +0000 http://collegian.csufresno.edu/?p=9773#comment-35524 Yes, you're right. Those are. But how about its meaningless execs who a) can't seem to stay in office and b) can't seem to stay away from the booze? I mean, I guess the one exception is the VP that's been there since the beginning....but still. Theres a ton of expenses for these people that cant even keep their positions. And they're supposed to represent me? Ha! Yes, you’re right. Those are. But how about its meaningless execs who a) can’t seem to stay in office and b) can’t seem to stay away from the booze?

I know that the laptop loaner program ASI entirely funds is probably one of the most used services on campus. Additionally, nearly every club event held on campus is in some way funded by ASI. ASI also supports Intramurals, the pool on campus, and funds the New York Times, Fresno Bee, and USA Today on-campus. Call the services meaningless if you'd like, but the services are used, popular, and present throughout the campus community.

The meaningless services it provides, right down to the staff salaries it spends and the executives' plush offices and cell stipends, won't be touched! Hallelujah! Whew!
