On April 28 and 29, Wednesday and Thursday, students will vote in an Associated Student Body Government election. One of the positions on the ballot is the ASBG president. Max Arrechea and Carmen Avitia are hoping to win the position.

Arrechea, 23, is running for ASBG because he wants to make a big impression on students. "I want to make them feel good about being here at Delta, have fun here at Delta, and enjoy being a student," he said, "I want to try and bring celebrities on campus (like UOP does) and have them speak to the students and give them a nice message and give them good goals."

When asked what experience he has to qualify for the ASBG, he said, "I am president of the International Club here at Delta, and we have been working together with the student body government to create activities for the international students and we have gone on trips with the students to San Francisco.

"I feel that I am the best candidate for president because my major is communications and it goes more with people and I plan to get into politics later on.." Max is involved with community service and is a tutor for the high school program at Delta, as well as being involved with various clubs on campus.

Arrechea has been going around campus talking to students, and is also

conducting surveys of the students to see how they feel about Delta and what their

concerns are. When asked why he thinks he is a better qualified candidate than his

opponent, Carmen Avitia, he said,"I believe that I am a better candidate because my

major is communications and I am more concerned about students and people in

general. My experience with different jobs and community services on campus have

been giving me the skills to get to know people and help them. I think that I am best for this job and what I promise, I will do. I don't think Carmen Avitia will do the job right," Max said.
