I Etcetera I October 2 - 8, 1997. ® Editorial SAC: opportunist haven

It's SAC election time and student apathy Is in the air. There were 13

positions open for elections and only five are Tilled. Four seats have been acclaimed. Three people are fighting for the one

seat in the School of Manufacturing and Design, leaving eight spots available for some very opportunistic students. These opportunists won't have to ask what they can do for Humber, but what SAC can do for them.

The first thing they could do is create a club atmosphere for members.

If no one wants to be on council, why not get a couple of friends to join? SAC also offers job experience. Where else can one get the opportuni-

ty to speak on behalf of 600 people, learn responsibility by attending bi-

weekly meetings and sit on various boards? And the really ambitious can set their sights on one of the VP positions or the plum position of president Nothing looks better on a resume than saying you ran an organization with an annual operating budget of more

than $500,000. That's more money than most small businesses dream of.

And if padding the resume isn't good enough, there are also the con- tacts made when dealing with corporate executives and politicians for.

If you're still not enticed, how does $500 a semester sound for being a SAC representative? And the higher the position, the more money made.

So if you're looking for a niche for the future, toss your hat into the

ring. SAC wants you!
