Experience isn’t everything, but it’s the main thing
that Sunny Sanchez, the in-house candidate for community service
commissioner, has going for her.
Sanchez has been involved with the CSC office for three years
and has held leadership positions in both Amigos de UCLA and
Chicanos/Latinos for Community Medicine.
These experiences should help as she takes on the daunting task
of representing 22 community service projects and 160 directors at
USAC meetings.
Though Sanchez has clearly demonstrated her commitment to
community service, her ideas for the commission itself are less
impressive. She has few concrete goals and seems to lack the vision
necessary to complete them.
Sanchez wants to get more students involved in her commission,
but her main suggestion for promoting the CSC is to create more
colorful signboards.
Sanchez said she plans to network with other community service
groups and will encourage directors to cooperate more, but
didn’t offer a method for doing this.
The Daily Bruin reluctantly endorses Sunny Sanchez for the
position of community service commissioner because though we
believe she has the experience and the dedication necessary to keep
the commission running, we are troubled by her lack of
clearly-defined goals. We hope that she develops a real vision
before taking office.
