It sets thé agenda; it’s like plan ning your class schedule—- you can’t just say you are going to school and go to classes, you have to plan what you are going to do in hopes of achieving something at the end,” remarked Crieghton. “In my opinion that is the most important job of the president, because it sets the tone for the year to come.” The president gives up many things to represent the student body. “The president has his/her work cut out for them. It is a very time consuming position and it will take precedence over a lot of things that they will want to do,” according to Creighton. The vice president sits on the Foundation Board, which is re sponsible for all the school’s scholarship money and fundraising. He or she is ex pected to be aware of the hap penings on campus. “They (the Foundation) want to hear what is going on with the basketball team or the art depart ment and that is what the student place that clubs can go for appro priation of money. liaison—the vice president does,” continued Creighton. “You usually have to have a club The vice president assists in to get money appropriated.

That is the purpose of the ASG student services is one general fund, to go back to the stu officers the to take their make and dents,” commented Creighton. “The offices within ASG are, in a way, clubs that are such an inte gral part of the society in our school in general, that they are big enough to dedicate a whole office to,” said Creighton. Officers change according to the year. This year the officer positions include Childcare, Legislative Af fairs, Campus Activities, Commu nity Outreach, Public relations and Student Access. “The officers have the power to take their office and make it func tional and make it integral,” stated Creighton. The officers are selected through an interview process and do not necessarily have to have previous leadership experience. There are two to three senators who work under every officer and assist in various areas. The Sena- tor-at-large positions are for people who want to participate in ASG, but may not have much time avail able. “The Senator-at-large either doesn’t have as much time to com mit as a senator, or they don’t have as much knowledge in an area and we like to give them a term or two to really catch the gist of what their position is really about,” explained Creighton. Each member of ASG is required to attend an ASG meeting once a week and spend at least five hours in'the office. They are also ex pected to spend around 15 addi tional hours a week devoted to stu dent government work, not in the office, but in general. This work includes going to upcoming events, making posters, posting signs and going to meetings. “Everyone in ASG is expected to be a representative whenever possible, by going to meetings or by sitting in on different commit tees as student representatives. The ASG is a representative of the student voice,” commented Creighton. The ASG advisor plays a k,ey part in keeping an eye on every thing, helping ASG members grow as leaders, and assisting with goal setting. “The advisor is definitely not the root of what we do; the root of what we do comes from the students themselves. But he is always there as a resource and a guide,” said Creighton.
