This evening ASUC Senator Igor Tregub of Student Action stepped down from his senate post. Igor cited his inability to give his full effort to serve the students who elected him and those who did not. When describing his energy and commitment to his constituents, Igor said, “199 percent is a deficit.” He summarized the progress on his latest bills and his fondest memories of this past year and a half of being a senator. Tregub promised to continue his work on Diversity Week if asked and noted that he is confident the members of the Senate will continue to represent students in an excellent way. Tregub received a standing ovation at the conclusion of his farewell address.

Tregub was first elected to the ASUC senate in 2004 and served on the Commercial Development Committee and the ASUC Store Operations board. He worked to represent the interests of Cal students living on the Northside of campus, and committed himself to adopting an Academic Bill of Rights.

Tregub’s senate seat will be filled by the candidate who placed 21st in the 2005 Senate election. The ASUC Web site indicates that Melissa Jones of the Berkeley College Republicans party is next in line to replace Tregub.
