Campus Elections are LIVE! + PPD Ice Cream Social/Voting Party THIS FRIDAY!
Celeste Lagrange - Theater Arts SPL
Vote YES ON 86 in Student Elections to
🎭 SAVE THEATER AND DANCE! 💃🏽
May 5 - May 16, 2025!
We ask for your support in student elections this month –
How will MEASURE 86 Save UCSC Theater and Dance?
All UCSC undergraduates have had access to a ticket to every Theater Arts play and dance show since they voted back in 2003 to pass Measure 11! The cost has been $2.00/quarter via undergrad student fees. We usually stage three shows in a quarter, and undergrads can see all of them at no cost other than the two bucks – such an amazing deal!!
MEASURE 86 Save UCSC Theater and Dance is an amendment to Measure 11 to increase the fee to $5 dollars per student per quarter to match the inflation that has grown over the last 22 YEARS and allow us to continue providing tickets at no additional charge. This will still be such an amazing deal!!
A YES vote means:
– UCSC undergraduates can still have a ticket to all performances at PPD venues!
– We can hire more student workers and raise their salaries!
– Registered student groups will no longer be charged a use fee for PPD venues, space permitting!
– It will increase the budget and production values of our shows!
A NO vote means:
If this measure does NOT pass 🙁, PPD will no longer be able to absorb the rising costs of materials and labor, and we will have to reduce our production budget or, more likely, reduce the number of shows we stage. This will negatively impact student success in significant ways, and make it more difficult for students to complete our degrees on time.
HOW TO VOTE? – Go to the General 2025 Campus Elections info. page between MAY 6 and 16 for a link to vote! OR, scan the QR code on the poster below!
When to vote? – Voting opens May 5th and closes May 16th!
How many people need to vote? – We need 20% of the student body to vote in this election to get any measure to qualify! Last year, we only had 8% of the student body vote.
