  Tommy Tseng, winning the position of general representative with 17.48 percent of the votes, said he knew his victory was coming.
  
  Like Wood, the first thing Tseng plans on doing is making sure the office will be working as a collective staff to ensure that all students on campus will be served.
  
  "(It's) not just about advocating on behalf of the students.It's about developing a strong student consciousness and giving them advocacy skills to build a student movement," Tseng said.
  
  Anneli Villarin, the third Students First! general representative winner, said she was ecstatic to take office.
  
  After thanking all of her supporters and volunteers, Villarin, like Tseng, plans on integrating the staff together as a team to implement resources such as the Students Explore and Experience Los Angeles program.

  ,I think students have been very positive about the opportunity to fill out a survey on an academic policy that is affecting them, possibly negatively,, said Tommy Tseng, general representative of USAC.
  ...
  ,The ECP Task Force itself, as an organization, never has formally established a target, but from the conversations I've had with some coordinators and student committees, we're thinking that 5,000 students might be a good number to reach,, Tseng said.

  ,When we picked this action agenda item, investigating ECP, it does come from the standpoint that ECP may not be the best policy for students,, said Tommy Tseng, USAC general representative.
  ...
  ,The sample may not be totally random in the strictest statistical sense, but every student will know about it and in that sense the survey will be representative,, Tseng said.
  ...
  USAC also has not determined what criteria they will use to judge the survey results. ,We haven't really formed a coherent strategy yet,, Tseng said.

  Villarin, Tseng await official clearance to begin council work
  ...
  On the last day of the runoff elections for the Undergraduate Students Association Council, general representative candidates Anneli Villarin and Tommy Tseng were accused of vandalizing a Nation2Nation signboard advertising the group's endorsement of a candidate running on an opposing slate.
  
  To date, both Villarin and Tseng, who were elected to the position of general representative, deny involvement in any act of vandalism, and no witness has come forward publicly to testify about that specific event.
  ...
  "They have to follow up on it. … Just to refer - that's not right," Belgen said regarding his reasons for temporarily relieving Villarin and Tseng from duty despite the lack of concrete evidence against them.
  ...
  "It turns out that nothing happened," Samaan said, explaining that the UCPD did not find concrete evidence linking Villarin and Tseng to the vandalism and the case was not brought to the dean of students.
  ...
  Unaffected by the E-Board's findings, Villarin and Tseng are still not able to return to their duties.
  ...
  "We're just waiting to see the reports. … All they need to do is give us these documents and (Villarin and Tseng) can start working," Belgen said.
  ...
  Villarin and Tseng have not yet been informed of the proceedings and are now just waiting to learn their status.
  
  "I've been really out in the dark.I don't know what the J-Board is doing," Villarin said.Tseng said that the he has not been contacted "in any way, shape or form."
  
  The two councilmembers have stayed in touch and informed about USAC's progress but have been unable to really begin work themselves, which they say will make their jobs more difficult when they get to work.
  
  "It's been a big hindrance," Villarin said, listing preparation for the base budget, her work on the Budget Review Committee and putting together a staff for the Office of the General Representative as some of the areas in which the stay had impeded her work in office.
  
  "It does affect to some level the work that I'll be doing next year, and it does affect the programs," Tseng said.
  
  In particular, Tseng said he is hesitant to begin official work on the Student Labor Conference, which is a program that he had planned to begin working on immediately.
  
  "I have been sort of active.I've been planning and thinking about programs and research and talking to people," Tseng said, but he added that he was not able to do so in an official capacity as general representative, which made the work less productive.
  
  Both are confident that the matter will be cleared up and they will be able to return to work.
  
  "I do feel that I've been missing out … (but) I'll be able to work really hard and catch up on what's been going on," Tseng said, and Villarin also said she believed that with an extra effort she would be able to make up for the lost time.
  
  The J-Board is due to release an official statement of opinion on the case, which may lift the stay and allow Villarin and Tseng to return to work.
