So I was sitting here working on a column, and decided to look up some of the folks in our beloved Student Government. Seems burgeoning bureaucracies apply to volunteer groups too

I mean just look at the office of the Senate President Pro Tem (who essentially does nothing beyond attend Senate meetings):

- Student Senate President Pro Tempore
- Chief of Staff to the SSPPT
- Senior Advisor to the SSPPT
- Advisor to the SSPPT for the College of Managment
- Advisor to the SSPPT for CALS
- Advisor to the SSPPT on Greek Life
- Advisor to the SSPPT on Student Affairs
- Advisor to the SSPPT on the New Traffic Pattern Around the Coliseum Deck

To quote someone else here: "wtf? I mean seriously...wtf?"

I like how kontalonis is the Advisor to the SSPPPT on Greek Life, even though Chris Kontalonis pretends to be the uber cool kid that is too cool for student government.

8/21/2005 2:10:18 PM

he was in one of my classes - he's such a mousy fellow. skinny as hell and kind of nerdy looking

i had no idea that he was such a "cool kat" until I joined this web forum

actually very [old]. I used to be Senate President Pro Tem before dropping out of NCSU in June 2000, and they never let me have a staff

I always figured you added staff after you proved you could accomplish something...

incredible! be your own advisor!
