Committee
We may have looked a disorganised mob at O-Day, but that was a front. We are actually highly organised uni students. I think that is an oxymoron, but I'm not sure. Anyway. The committee. These are the people that organise all the functions and the trips that you guys all enjoy.
Now, there are 2 kinds of committee members. There are the executive members, and the rest. There are a few key differences which should not be forgotten. The rest do all the stuff the executive either don't want to, or can't be assed doing. The executive are better looking than the rest. The executive get all the praise for the job done by the rest. Without the rest, most of the jobs wouldn't get done! Oh, and secretary is in charge of getting the coffee. It is imperative that they know how everyone takes their beverage. And how to take short hand!!
