MODEST SENATOR:
MSE sophomore Peter Chung say his incessant campaigning schedule
and his dashing good looks were key in helping him get elected
to ASUC senate.

Get to know
your ASUC senator: a profile of Peter Chung
Hometown: Mission Viejo, CA
Favorite study beverage: Three Kern’s juices (it’s like syrup
with 200 calories of sugar in each can)
Favorite study break activity: Playing online poker at pokerroom.com
with play money.
Involvements on campus: Materials Science and Engineering Association,
Model United Nations.
Why he ran: “There is a stereotype of engineers as always studying
and doing little else. I wanted to break that stereotype by getting
involved with student politics.”
MSE sophomore Peter Chung
wants people to know that he does more than just study. In fact, this
past spring he borrowed against his homework time in order to campaign
10 hours a day.
“My grades suffered but it was worth it. This is going to be an
unforgettable college experience,” he says of his time in the student
senate.
As ASUC senator, Chung says he wants to strengthen the EJC’s hand
in supporting the Cal vehicle teams.
“Our vehicle teams help improve the reputation of this campus.
We are competitive with less funds. I want to get these groups the money
they deserve,” he says.
Chung, like the other engineering senators, wants to take the pulse
of the engineering student body to find out what their needs are as
a group. He is putting together polls to hand out to students and encourages
face to face feedback.
