We will be accepting nominations for the following positions August 4th - 11th. Elections will be held August 12th -18th, with the winners announced at the next LSO General Meeting on the 18th at 6 p.m. Want to run but unsure if you can handle the added responsibilities? Dont' worry! Two people can share the duties and run as co-officers if preferred. New officers will serve during the Fall 2004 semester.

The descriptions have been taken directly from the LSO Constitution. Please contact Vice President Maggie Swanger if you need further information.
