So I have spent the past few days running around to different offices figuring out what I need to do to get a club up and running here at Bowling Green State University.
I started out wiht the office of campus involvement. I sent them an email explaining what we are and what I would like to do. I got the form mail response:
1. Complete the New Student Organization Registration Packet which you can download from our website.
2. Get 10 members who are full-time BGSU students
3. Get a faculty/staff advisor
4. Write a constitution and by-laws
I thought uhhhhh ok I can do some of that I suppose. But I do not know more than one other rider who is a full time BGSU student, much less a faculty member who rides or would be interested in helping me out.
So I went on over to the office and spoke with the chair of campus involvement and explained the situation. I said all I really want is a table in the student union for about three days during the semester where I can simply inform riders or poetential riders that there is a great OBLIGATION FREE club out there where they can go and learn about the sport, meet other riders and get help. I mean isn't that the purpose of a club? Bringing people together who otherwise would not have met? Furthermore, there is about 3 inches of ice on the ground, it is hard to find other riders when they are not riding. The response I got was, well that's all well and good but rules are rules and you need to meet these criteria before you can be a univeristy sponsored club.
So I was basically like :jackoff: and left kind of bummed
So I thought "if you want to be a university sponsored club." Well what if you do not want to b a University SPonsored Club? I had remembered seeing someone selling cellular phones as well as people promoting candidates for public office in the union at the tables. So I figured there was an alternative way to do this. Turns out it costs $150/day to have a table at the union for "non-university sponsored" groups. :holymoly: I am soooooo happy that my university is making this easy for me.
Anyways at this time I am thinking I am gonna post flyers at the Kiosks around camps and see if I can't kick up some interest that way so..... does any flyer currently exist that we use?
or...
can any of you Photoshop geniuses come up with something that would do enough to draw attention to itself.... and say Hypercycles.org on it? In black and white preferably... once snow hits inkjet prints they will not be legible anymore. What you guys think?
