Editorial: USAC surrenders authority by operating under administration's decision
Editorials, Opinion
The Undergraduate Students Association Council was created for the purpose of giving students agency in a university riddled with bureaucracy and administrative jargon. Too bad this year's council has decided to cede its authority to the very administrators it should be holding accountable.
The undergraduate student council held a marathon meeting Tuesday to deliberate amendments to its election code and the fitness of its Election Board chair. The council decided on everything, from whether the Election Board can partially reimburse USAC candidates for campaign expenditures to when spring quarter election events would take place.
One thing the council didn't debate: the constitutionality of allowing slate-affiliated candidates to spend an extra $200 and independent candidates running against slate-affiliated candidates to spend an extra $400. USAC left that to Debra Geller, the associate dean of students and an administrative representative on the council, and the Office of the Campus Counsel, an obscure legal campus entity that isn't easily accessible to students.
Geller's initial contact with the OCC followed the council's decision in fall quarter to amend the election code to decrease campaign spending limits for slate-affiliated candidates. Geller said the OCC declared that USAC violated its constitution by passing the amendment without an Election Board chair and that different spending limits violated students' First Amendment right to freedom of association.
However, the OCC isn't the judicial body that decides the legality of the Election Code. USAC already has its own Judicial Board to carry out such tasks, and can even consult Student Legal Services, a legal resource that is accessible to and ultimately meant for students. By turning to the administration to make its decisions, USAC is willfully allowing UCLA to intrude on its operations – the operations of an Associated Students UCLA-affiliated organization. So much for student representation.
Consulting lawyers for a student government election is no doubt important – students should not be denied their civil liberties and freedoms. But the way the council determined the legality of its decision was troubling. As Divya Sharma, the academic affairs commissioner, pointed out at Tuesday's meeting, the council made a decision based on the words of an administrative representative who consulted an inaccessible administrative office. In effect, the group of student-elected leaders allowed a far-off administrative office to make a decision for the student body.
And it's not as though USAC doesn't have the resources to make these decisions itself. The USAC Judicial Board has weighed in on campaign spending limits in the past and would have been the appropriate body for the council to consult. And if that weren't enough, the lawyers at the Student Legal Services office are hired to assist students.
The council's members could have easily scheduled appointments to consult with either of these student resources, reported their findings to the council and made a decision. By failing to do that, its members haven't just neglected their responsibilities; they've also forsaken their autonomy.
Of course, Geller is an important resource for the council to consult on its procedures. And it's possible USAC's previous spending limits for candidates might have violated its constitution. But the council has the resources needed to come to those conclusions on its own. Running to administrators to make the tough decisions is indicative of the council running away from its obligations.
Council members claim they strive to represent student interests. They can do good on that promise by not being an inadvertent puppet of the UCLA administration.

Eleanor May McKenzie was one of several children born on August 2, 1942 in Panama City, Panama to Clarence & Gladys McKenzie (both deceased). Her siblings were Alfredo (Deceased), Samuel, Ferdinand (Deceased), George, Marva and Vilma. She grew up in Paraiso, former Canal Zone.
Eleanor attended IPA (Instituto Panamericano) for one semester – long enough to meet Hector Mills whom became her sweetheart. She transferred to and graduated from Paraiso High School on the former Canal Zone. After graduating High School she traveled to the United States to attend Roosevelt University in Chicago, IL all the while her relationship with Hector continued to blossom. In 1964 she returned to Panama to wed Hector Mills at St. Paul's Church. They were sweethearts for 61 years and married for 54. The couple relocated to Brooklyn, New York and were blessed with a daughter Bernadette Marie Mills.
Eleanor will be sadly missed by her husband, Hector Mills, daughter, Bernadette Mills, brothers, Samuel McKenzie and George Lancelot McKenzie (Alicia), sisters, Marva Sobers (Eustace) and Vilma Wilson; brothers-in-law, Stanley Mills (Carmen) and Alberto Mills (Sonia), sisters-in-law, Yvonne Lovell and Janette Mills Belgrave and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and many, many friends.

What You'll Need: scriptures, menorah poster, dreidel dice game, kwanzaa coloring page, markers for game such as beans, pennies or chocolate chips (15 for each player), coloring tools, tape or glue.
Scripture: "We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may" (Articles of Faith 1:11).
People all over the world worship God, Jesus Christ or other religious figures differently than we do. The Prophets tell us that people of other faiths do much good and help make the world a better place. We should respect them and work with them to do good.
Around Christmastime we always think about our Christmas traditions. We celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ like other believers in Christ all over the world. In our schools, friendships with others, and through media we may see people of other faiths or cultures celebrating their Holidays. You can respect others' holidays by learning about when and why those days are celebrated. Today we are going to talk about holidays other people celebrate during December.
Yes! We celebrate Christmas, but so do people of many other faiths. People who celebrate Christmas as the birth of Jesus Christ are called Christians, but Christians can be from different churches. We are Christians because we believe in Jesus Christ, but we are also members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Other Christian faiths are Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans and many others.
Members of the Catholic church often attend Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. The Midnight mass is a ceremony that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Kids are usually excited about attending this because most of the Churches have beautiful Nativity Scenes and an array of Christmas lights. Some Churches even have a fireworks display after the mass as a sign of celebration.
Millions of people around the world with no religion also celebrate Christmas and Christmas Eve as a time to treat others kindly, give gifts and celebrate family.
Because Jewish people do not believe in Jesus Christ they do not celebrate his birth at Christmas. But in December they celebrate Hanukkah. Many years ago there was a war in Jerusalem and the Jewish people's Temple was taken over by others. They were very sad about it and fought in the war to get their Temple back and won.
Once they had the Temple Mount in Jerusalem back, the Temple had to be rededicated (or made special again after being used by other people). The Temple was supposed to have a candle which always burned, but the candle had been blown out. They were sad to see they only had enough consecrated oil to burn for one day, but the oil miraculously lasted for eight days until new oil arrived to fuel the flame.
There are special prayers and songs for Hanukkah. Part of Jewish Hannukah celebrations are also special food and games. Jewish children play with a toy called a dreidel which is a spinning toy with four Hebrew letters, one on each side. The letters - shin, hey, gimel and nun - are the first four letters of the Hebrew words "A Great Miracle Happened Here." You get points depending on which letter it lands on.
Jewish families eat foods that are fried in oil at Hanukkah, since oil is such an important part of the holiday's history. In most families, this means potato latkes which are crispy potato pancakes and other fried foods. Jewish children receive presents on each of the eight days of Hannukah.
Kwanzaa is an African-American holiday about the festival of the first harvest of the crops. It begins on December 26, and lasts for seven days. The name Kwanzaa, sometimes spelled Kwanza, comes from a phrase which means "first fruits" in Swahili, an East African language. Each of the seven days of the celebration is dedicated to one of seven principles. Each day one candle is lit that represents each principle.
The last day of Kwanzaa focuses on honoring traditions and reaffirming self worth through gift giving. Gifts are often made rather than bought because Kwanzaa emphasizes creativity or "kuumba" - one of the seven principles.
You should not make fun of their beliefs, customs, or practices. Respect the religious symbols they use to celebrate and worship.
If you are invited to participate, ask politely for their suggestions about how you can do so appropriately. They may be happy to simply have you watch what they do, or they may suggest some activities you can join in on and others you should avoid. For example, if one of their religious customs is against your beliefs, such as drinking wine, you can politely decline participation, or perhaps you can drink water.
Bear your testimony about the fun that can come by learning about, participating in and respecting the beliefs of others. Share the good feelings you have when members of other faiths have done the same for you and your beliefs.
- Have children color each side of dice.
- Cut out, glue or tape and play a few rounds.
A friend sent me a link to your sight after telling her how simple I need the fhe lessons to be. I have 4 small children and my husband travels a lot. Your lessons are great and they take less than 10 min to prepare. I also like how you have a theme for the month and then do mini lessons to support the theme.
We had a very successful FHE thanks to you. I love the 11th article of faith and am grateful for this lesson, thanks!
I love your FHE lessons! I found another Hannukkah FHE lesson on a different site and teh explanation of the story was too long/involved for my three little ones (6,4,2). I love how you make the explanations simple yet keep the important details.
This is perfect for tonight. Thanks so much!

Shortly after Attorney at Work published its Third Annual Social Media Marketing Survey Report, commentators seized upon one particular juxtaposition of responses: 96 percent of the 302 attorneys who responded reported using social media, but only 7 percent said they considered social media use to be "very responsible" for bringing in new clients.
That combination of responses seemed to generate a lot of interest because it played into the legal industry's longstanding skepticism toward social media. Law is one of the last professional fields to fully embrace the form, with many attorneys maintaining their deep-rooted beliefs that social media isn't appropriately respectable or useful for brand-building.
That this piece of the survey drummed up the most buzz prompted me to take a closer look at the relationship between attorney use of social media and what Attorney at Work's results actually show.
The first thing to note is that while only 7 percent of respondents think social media use is "very responsible" for new business, a full 42 percent said it was "somewhat responsible" for bringing in new clients. In sum, then, a total of 49 percent of the responding attorneys could attribute new clients to social media with at least reasonable certainty. That's quite good for an industry like marketing, where the connection between an undertaking and its results aren't always crystal clear.
Second, remember that lawyers are by nature a skeptical bunch (hey, it's what law school trained us to do!), so let's take their mistrust as a given and look at what consumers have to say. FindLaw's own research shows that 54 percent of overall legal consumers said they would like to hire an attorney who is active on social media. Bear in mind that 54 percent is all legal consumers. The figure is higher in certain demographics like younger consumers, where it reaches 69 percent. If clients are as keenly interested in social media as a tool for finding and evaluating attorneys as they seem to be, then does it really matter what we think of it?
It also bears noting that several points in Attorney at Work's survey suggest lawyers have a little maturation to do when it comes to employing the finer points of social media platforms. For example, 67 percent of respondents said they do all social media writing posting, updated and interacting themselves – so it's mostly lawyers, not social media managers or marketers, doing the lion's share of social media work – but only 40 percent said they use paid social promotion, which the digital marketing industry agrees needs to be a part of the standard promotional mix these days. Of the 40 percent of attorneys who report using paid social promotion, only 50 percent say they are using Facebook for such promotion. Facebook arguably presents the best value of any social platform when it comes to getting your message in front of the appropriate audience; the fact that lawyers don't seem to use it much, then, indicates we need to embrace paid Facebook promotion more widely.
Overall, Attorney at Work's excellent and revealing survey seems to show that the legal field still has a ways to go before it can say it is really maximizing all the opportunities social media offers. As a group, we have made progress, but there's plenty of territory left to conquer.
