lager to begin work
tudent Congress would like
welcome everyone back
kjJJ for yet another great year at
Cjtjolina.
since 1938, Carolina has had a
sdadent legislature, and we are
ptoud to carry on this long and
riph history of student self-gover
njmce.
* Student Congress is the legisla
tive branch of student govern
ment. We are a nonpartisan, uni
cameral body comprised of 40
members with one constituency
the students.
Each spring, undergraduate
and graduate students are elected
in accordance with the election
laws set forth by the Student
Code and the Board of Elections
to serve a one-year term.
Periodically throughout the
year, special elections are held to
fill vacant seats.
Once elected, members are
placed on one of three perma
nent standing committees in
which bills and resolutions nor
mally originate, are heard,
amended if necessary and either
fail or are passed on to the full
Congress to act upon.
Full Congress meetings take
place every other Tuesday and are
open to all students as well as the
public.
So what do we do?
As the legislative branch of
student government, Student
Congress seeks to serve as the
voice of the student body by dele
gating and amending laws per
taining to the University and its
constituents.
Student Congress also takes
an active role in preserving the
relationships between students
and administration. In doing
this we take a part in furthering
the success of the University and
the communication among all
that must occur in order to take
part in upholding the pride and
legacy of this institution.
! In addition, it is the responsi
bility of Student Congress to allo
cate a large portion of the student
activity fee to officially recognized

We also generate accountabili
ty and review and amend the
Student Code.
With the Student Code as our
guide, we have the duty to act in
the best interests of the students
of this University.
What’s in the works for the
85th Student Congress?
The 85th Congress will carry
on the fiscal responsibility estab
lished by the past two sessions of
Congress.
In addition, we have simplified
and improved the district system,
making it easier for individuals to
run for election in the spring.
We will continue to research
issues pertinent to the student
body, develop strategies to
enhance student life on and off
campus and serve our constituen
cy to the best of our abilities.
Students are welcome anytime
to discuss issues they believe to be
important.
Communication is the key to
unlocking solutions.
