! i, Fire! Fire! Applications go out ~ t for student curator I One student announces candidacy~ SGA president potential candidate
by Bill RoHes staff writer The search is on for the next student representative to the UM Board of Curators, and UM-St Louis will provide that student. Applications for the student curator position became available Tuesday. Michael Rankins, vice president of the Student Government Association, said one person has taken an application but none have been submitted by press time. So far, Josh Stegeman, a sophomore chemistrylbiology major, is the only student to take an application. He said he decided to run for student curator after Avery announced at the Aug. 27 SGA meeting that UM-Sc Louis will lead the search. "TIlat is something 1'd want to do just because I think I could have a lot of influence on the Board," Stegeman said. "It's a position to make a difference if you really want to try." Members of the Intercampus Student Council have suggested UM-St. Louis SGA President Jim Avery could be a possible candidate, Karl Schmitt, president of the UM-Rolla Student Council, said. Jim Avery "We were just discussing who might be able to run, and he (Avery) is eligible, so his name was just one that we thre w out," Schmitt said. "We just said, hey, he could run." Avery said he has not submitted an application for the position. Avery has removed himself from the selection process and has passed his dulies to Rankins.
