Alcala Yearbook 1992-1993

Doug Meier Social Chair Gina Hamilton Asst. Social Chair

Social Chair

Make my day - Doug Meier clowns around with a super soaker at the AS Spring Retreat.

Arousing Student Spirit "Are you sure you want to interview me?" Doug Meier jokingly queried after being informed of the Social Chair story that was to appear in the Alcala. The energetic ju– nior, along with his assistant, Gina Hamilton, enthusias– tically described the duties their office carries. Respon– sible for arranging various social events, including excursions to game shows, Disneyland, Magic Mountain, and ice skating rinks, Meier and Hamilton happily witnessed a peak in student interest: All the events he sponsored sold out! The 30-member Social Board, with representatives from all major student organizations, and a larger 60-member social committee, aided Doug. The chief responsibility facing this dedicated crew was the organization of Homecoming weekend. Doug sought to introduce new elements to the game itself, including participation by the NROTC and the Choral Scholars, to spotlight various student groups. Members of the USO community appreciated his creativity. Doug states, "It's a thrill to see people who otherwise wouldn't be socially active present at an event like Homecoming. It makes all the hard work and effort worth while."

The Voice of ICC

The job of overseeing all the activi– ties of the clubs and organizations on campus fell into the hands of the Secretary of Student Organizations, Don Morgan. He chaired an inner– club council in which he met with representatives from the various clubs and organizations on campus. The purpose of the meeting was to give them a chance to voice their requests and concerns, which were in turn taken to the Senate. The main aspect of Morgan's job, however, was to fund the activities of these clubs and organizations with a budget provided by A.S.

Morgan put in the ex tra effort to put an end to the apathy the clubs and organizations felt toward A.S. He encouraged them to hold more events and fundraisers . Twelve new clubs were added to his roster this year. The best part of Morgan's job was to promote the presence of clubs on campus. He felt that they were a vital part of the USO experience and should thus be fully exploited.
