Financial Supports Com.: LaFlamme turns his critical eye to real issues within financial supports
 Andrew LaFlamme
From the BruinGo! program to student meal plans, nothing escapes
the critical mind of Andrew LaFlamme. Combined with his fervent
attitude toward inducing real change, this makes him the ideal
candidate for financial supports commissioner.
LaFlamme, although not yet in office, has already started contacting state representatives to help address issues like the housing crunch inflicted by Tidal Wave II, the influx of about 4,000 more students to UCLA in the next 10 years. He would like to assemble a booklet with the rates and services of every apartment complex in Westwood to help students with apartment hunting and pressure landlords to maintain steady, competitive prices. And LaFlamme is strongly in favor of BruinGo! Unlike many prospective representatives, however, he is ardent about saving the program.
LaFlamme also demonstrates a highly critical attitude toward the little ways the school has squeezed extra dollars out of its students. LaFlamme’s concrete issues and tangible solutions demand the full endorsement of the Daily Bruin.
