Roberts said that this year's record number of 74 Congresswomen, 60 of whom serve in the House of Representatives, falls short of gaug ing the large number of women who k ML INSLEE HACKETT/GUILFORDIAN Roberts during the Bryan lec ture on Oct. 1 Community Senate's corner snace: weekly update Laura Wigand Community Senate Vice-President The judicial process at Guilford often seems mysterious to the student body. There is a certain secrecy that surrounds judi cial proceedings, partly for the protection of the individu als involved and partly because many of us have not actively participated in the judicial system. This article is an attempt to clarify the judicial process and update the community as to this year's judicial dis positions. Applications for students interested in Judicial Board were due Sept. 15, and members were selected soon after by a committee composed of Campus Life staff, faculty and a Senate representative. The students selected to serve on this year's Judicial help run everyday life on Capitol Hill. "Her speech was very informative about the wives of the Founding Fathers," said first-year Catie Cummings, who met Roberts after the speech. "I liked the way she spoke during the speech and after wards. She was very amiable." Sophomore Liz Heller agreed. "(Roberts) did a great job of speak ing on women shaping democracy," she said. "I would have liked to hear her say more about current politics." Heller was absent from the pre lecture symposium where Roberts answered student questions in Founders Gallery, commenting main ly on the upcoming presidential elec tions. In that meeting, Roberts said that the first presidential debate, in her opinion, did not have a solid winner. However, Roberts did say she was pleased with Senator Kerry's per formance at the first presidential debate and thought he came across as friendly. She said that he was lucid, and non-verbose. "He was forced to talk short, which is an unnatural act for a U.S. sena tor," she said.

NEWS In contrast, Roberts said that President Bush appeared angry and irritated throughout the debate, and did not overly impress her in this debate. "Bush had some bad moments in the debate," she said, not ing that some people were pleased with his straightforward style. Ironically, she added that while people favored Kerry in the debate, Bush was still leading the polls, hint ing at the tough road still ahead for Kerry. Cautioning that a lot of polling is partisan, she said the debate's effect on the elections rests on the spin that network commentators and aired clips create in the upcoming weeks. In contrast to Kerry's ambivalent stance on the war, she said that presidential candidate Ralph Nader was firmly opposed to the Iraq war. Despite not being on the ballot in all Board members reviewed the college handbook, learned about the judicial process and specifically, the Judicial Board process. The group also went through a case study to prepare them for real cases when they arise. Judicial Board members will also be expected to play an active role in this year's Judicial Review Committee. The Committee convenes every other year and system atically examines the Student Handbook. The committee then suggests policy changes to Community Senate and upon Senate's approval those changes go to the Office of Campus Life. Since the beginning of the school year, there have been close to 100 judicial cases. All were handled in adminis trative hearings as outlined in the student handbook on page 29.

"Kerry's got a legitimate problem when it comes to the Iraq war," she said, referring to the risk of alienat ing one part of his base no matter which stance he takes on the war.
