Student Activities recruits new members

Planning recreational programs, meeting new people and attending free concerts are only a few of the things the members of the Student Activities Programming Board do.

The SAPB is recruiting new members this week, though students are welcome to join at any time.

A recruiting outing Monday night at The Pub started the week's events.

P. Andy Hermansdorfer, director of student activities and Greek affairs, said the Monday meeting introduced the programs for this semester.

During the rest of the week meetings will take place as usual. To join, a student just has to show up at a meeting.

According to the SAPB mission statement, the SAPB is dedicated to providing opportunities for the personal growth of students. The SAPB will initiate, promote and implement educational, social, cultural and recreational programs to meet the co-curricular needs of students at Marshall.

"All of the social and recreational activities are determined by students," Hermansdorfer said. "They also handle every other detail such as promotion and contracts. So much goes in to the events it is always a learning experience."

Ketwan T. Crews, Logan senior, joined last semester.

Crews said she learned about SAPB when she worked in the Student Activities Office. She also said that she would recommend joining the board to other students.

"The best things about it are the friends you make, meeting the people who come to give concerts and getting free concert tickets," Crews said.
