By Kelly Rush Student government editor

Seven seats currently are open on the student judicial board for supreme court justices. Four of the seats’ terms will last two years and the other three seats’ terms will last one semester, with the term ending July 1. Students who sit on the supreme court will hear cases being appealed from earlier rulings by the judicial board. The supreme court offers a means of appeal for students unhappy with previous rulings said Mike LeShoure, student government president. To start with, members will meet twice a week, and as they become comfortable with their positions, members will meet about twice a month, depending on the amount of cases being appealed, said LeShoure. Applications can be found in the student senate office, located in Martin Luther King Jr. University Union and are due Jan. 24. Any student who is enrolled full time can apply. A résumé is appreciat- ed, and a minimum amount of experience is helpful, said LeShoure. In addition, three students are needed for the constitutional review board. Duties will include going over the senate constitution and making any necessary changes. No experience is needed, and students can find the applications in the student government office. Applications are due Jan. 24. How to recognize an exceptional woman: Nominate her to be a ‘Woman of Achievement’ By Julie Ferguson Staff writer
