Do all student government members get paid, or just the president??? So, what, do they consider it like work-study? Is it a scholarship?
We didn't get paid at Wittenberg (small lib arts school in Ohio). I served on Student Senate at my school, and it was a TON of work. Hardest position I held, of all the positions I held in undergrad. And with the most stress and the biggest headaches. Our Student Senate president wasn't 'visible,' either. And we took turns (or we were SUPPOSED to) manning the office. Most of the time, no one was in there. I guess on some campuses, it's just a bigger deal. The only time people were REALLY concerned with what Senate was doing was at budget time, since they were asking for funding. Now, we DID have a budget of money for SS, but it was used in case a campus org need extra funds or something like that. Or sometimes (during budget hearings) we would use money from that budget to pay for dinner, since we were there all friggin' night. I'm tellin' you, I don't miss those days one bit, lol.
Ramble, ramble, ramble...
