I have been a member of the University Court tor the past two
years, and I have truly enjoyed the experience. Serving this capacity,
I have cherished the opportunity to assist my fellow students in times
of need. I have aimed to uphold the standards of safety and civility set
forth in the Student Code of Conduct while maintaining the belief that
Rice students are good and generally well-intentioned people. 1
acknowledge that college is a time for learning in many ways, and I
strive for an understanding and compassionate yet fair and consistent
view of any infringements of the rules. Please allow me to continue
efforts toward maintaining the warm and trustworthy environment
that 1 have found Rice to be.

After transferring from the Merchant Marine Academy, 1 realized
the necessity for a student run justice system. Although there was
limited student representation at the Academy, students had very few
votes in the trial at hand.
Rice's student justice system embodied by the University Court
represents a more just opportunity for those who are accused of
violating the Code of Student Conduct. Because it is inherently obvi-
ous that students should be judged by'their peers, our court system
provides not only an opportunity for student involvement, but a fair
trial for the students accused.
Due to the fact that the University Court illustrates a equitable
justice-system, I would be honored to be given the opportunity to
represent the student bodyHn this capacity. While entering my senior year at Rice, I would
love to make a difference andcomrifetrte to the student life. Although my experience at Rice
is limited to two semesters, I feel my perspective will make a sizable improvement to the
chemistry of our Court
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello, it's me again. After another year of public intoxication,
stolen gnome carts, and public urination, I'm back asking for more. A
masochistic whipping boy, if you will.
So rather than advertise a keen sense of justice or preach about
upholding the moral standards of the community, I will simply ask
for your vote I'll be fair. Really.

Justice is kind of a funny concept. Everyone seems'to think that
they know what justice is and how best to achieve it,but the problem
is that everyone's idea of justice and how best to achieve it is different.
If there is one thing that 1 have learned after one year on the University-
Court, it is that finding the proper form of justice isextremely difficult,
if not impossible, and can only be achieved through the careful
thought and deliberation of a group of people with differing ideas of
what justice is. These differences produce the best form of justice,
even if it is a different form from what each individual person believes
is justice. My experiences on the University Court have often forced
me to reexamine many of the central propositions of my concept of
justice, and I believe that these changes have given me a broader and
more complete idea of justice. In many ways, being a justice on the University Court has
created a more compassionate sense of justice for me, and one that holds more regard for
individual circumstances than it once did. I would like to continue this development and
further expand my "sense of justice with another term on the University Court.

munity. I hope not only to build upon the growing successes of
such larger events as Esperanza and Rondolet, but I would also
like to increase communication with the student body about
what the council has to offer It. We are not an organization intent
upon pestering students to attend lame events. We are built for
student entertainment and enjoyment, and when the situation is
fitting, we also attempt to provide forums for matters of concern '

Hi, my name is Monica C . Trevino and I am a candidate for University Court
Sophomore Representative. Over the past year, I have served in Rice Ambassadors as
a Baker College Freshman Representative, HACER, and have been your.Ereshman
Representative in University Court. A University Court position is one of great
importance if) all of the Rice community not only because of the influence it has on the
safety of the social environment, but also because it sets the standard by which we as
, students must conduct ourselves. 1 feel I best serve this purpose because I believe in
fairness, efficiency, and the overall rights of the student body. Responsibility, reliabil-
ity, good judgment, and most important of all, experience, are qualities that I possess.
Please consider me on Election Day, as I will work my hardest to ensure that the Rice
environment is* safe one, and I will try my best to do so in a fair manner.
