4B Saturday, August 18, 2001 Government Serves Students Organizations such as the Graduate and Professional Student Federation work to voice student concerns. Staff Reports Student government is an integral part of student life at UNC. From writ ing the laws that govern students, to hearing cases of academic integrity, stu dent government plays a part in all aspects of student life. Like the federal government, student government is organized into three branches, each of which balances the power of the other two. Two additional organizations, the Carolina Athletic Association and the Graduate and Professional Student Federation, also play major roles in stu dent government. Executive Branch Student Body Vice President Rudy Kleystueber said the role of the execu tive branch is “to represent the students to the administrations, and to the world at large.” The executive branch is also charged with administering the laws passed by Student Congress. Student Body President Young has placed much of his administration’s focus on diversity. Young has filled his cabinet with a racially and culturally When you have to look your best, Julian’s is the place. We've been dressing UNC students in style for 60years.

In his campaign, Young promised to focus on creating a student lobbying group to lobby to the state government for student concerns. Legislative Branch Student Congress makes up the leg islative branch of student government. The main goal of Student Congress is to be the voice of the students and to aid in maintaining communication between students and the administration. Student Congress is comprised of 37 representatives from 23 on- and off-cam pus districts. Each representative serves on one of three committees: Finance, Rules andjudiciary, and Student Affairs. Led by Speaker Mark Townsend, the Student Congress tackles a wide variety of issues affecting students, primary the allocation of funding to student organi zations from student activities fees. Judicial Branch The judicial branch, led by Student Attorney General Brad Newcombe, is separated into two court systems. The Honor Court hears cases dealing with academic integrity. Cases of mis conduct are heard by four randomly selected members of the Attorney Carolina Compass General’s staff and the chair. These five determine innocence or guilt, then impose sanctions when necessary. The Honor Court has come under heavy fire in the last year, and in April the Board of Governors created a task force to ensure that the judicial system is fair and consistent. The judicial branch’s other half, the Student Supreme Court, is comprised of four Associate Justices and a Chiefjustice. It hears grievences from those wronged under the student laws and is the Code of Student Government’s final interpreter. Carolina Athletic Association In addition to promoting athletic events to students, the CAA is responsi ble for distributing basketball tickets, planning Homecoming weekend events, and administrating Carolina Fever, a student group that attends athletic events to support UNC athletes. CAA President Reid Chaney was elect ed after a turbulant race for the presiden cy this spring. After he won the election with a five-vote margin, anew election was implemented that again favored Chaney. Graduate and Professional Student Federation The Graduate and Professional Student Federation, headed by President Mikisha Brown, works with Student Congress. Its function is to represent to the University administration the unique interests of graduate and professional students at UNC. Seminars Give Students Glimpses of Love, Hell By Emily Canaday Staff Writer Throngs of freshmen infiltrate the campus each August complaining about classes and looking completely lost. Finding your way around campus takes trial and error and asking a lot of annoyed-looking upperclassmen for directions. But a little research through the undergraduate bulletin can reveal interesting classes than many first-year student don’t think about taking. First-year seminars are a great way for students to get a heads-up into aca demic life on campus. The small class es of no more than 20 students focus on discussion and getting students to think beyond their normal constraints. “Because the seminars are small, they can refine students’ communication skills, their ability to speak clearly and write persuasively,” said Sarah Shields, director of the First Year Seminar Program. “Most important, as they work closely with a distinguished scholar on a shared intellectual problem, first year students can gain the habits of inquiry and sense the excitement of discovery.” Ashley Lane, a sophomore from Hope Mills, said her experience with freshman seminars was enlightening. “It really opened my eyes to the world around me. I see everything in a differ ent light. I feel that this course will ben eficial to me for the rest of my life.” There are a total of 73 seminar class offerings in the fall semester exploring a wide variety of issues that encourage students to broaden the way they cur rendy view the world. These are just a few sample classes, for more information consult the under graduate bulletin online at www.unc.edu, or link to the course search engine of your page at student central.unc.edu. ■ American Culture in the Era of Ragtime (AMST 0061) will be offered Contemporary fashions St. Chapel Hill NC Collegiate Coping 101: .Dorms' and off-campus housing; ; most of the comforts of home.
