Superior Court Judges have applied for
appointment to the Supreme Court Seat
left vacant by the retirement of Justice

Anchorage Bar Plans Grand Soiree
The Anchorage Bar Association
Public Affairs Committee has an-
nounced a Spring Dance at the Shera-
ton Anchorage Hotel on the evening of
April 16, 1983 from 6:30 p.m. until
1:00 a.m. The Committee plans a roast
duck dinner with lots of champagne
and other wines. The Anchorage Jazz
Ensemble will play from 8:00 p.m. on-
ward. Three no host bars will be open
during the evening.
-An Elegant Evening-
It should be an elegant evening
said one highly placed and more or less
reliable member of the committee.
Despite the printed invitation that
states 'shoes and shirts mandatory' we
think Anchorage lawyers are fast
becoming a pretty sophisticated lot.
We would not be surprised to see an
occasional tuxedo or a beautiful ball
gown at the dance. We even have
avoided the usual wines like Thunder-
bird, Ripple, and In Hock Signo
Vince's and have chosen a good French
champagne, as well as some first rate
California wines because we think
we're ready for this stuff. Especially
the Public Affairs Committee inter-
jected another highly placed member
who had been tasting wines all week in
order to arrive at a final selection. The
membership has no idea what we are
willing to go through for their benefit,
he ejaculated, holding his head be-
tween his hands and casting his eyes
ceilingward.
The duck dinner will be served
minus birdshot on real dishes at tables.
--The Beautiful People-
The Jazz Ensemble will play the
sort of music the beautiful people like
to dance to. And why not said
another committee member who along
with 8 million other Americans was
recently offered a subscription to Vani-
ty Fair. We're just as beautiful as they
are-maybe not as skinny, but just as
good looking.
Tickets to this swell affair cost
$30.00 per person or $60.00 a couple if
you are bothered by the idea of danc-
ing alone in a crowd.
