How
do I join SAC? And why would I want to?
Stop by the booth
at Activities Fair and check us out! You are also welcome to
attend our weekly meetings to get involved. Meetings
are held Monday nights at 9pm in Martha Miller Center 238. Everyone
is welcome so stop by and see what SAC is all about!
SAC is a fun committee to be a part of! You have a say in the entertainment
that we bring to campus and
have a chance to meet some fun people! You also have a chance
to have fun with the other committee members, too!
If you want to learn a lot and have some fun then
think about joining SAC!! You will gain leadership
experience that you will be able to make use of
beyond Hope College.
How
do you pick the movies that are shown?
Over the summer
the Films Committee and Directors of SAC review several
films
that the Committee feels would be worthwhile
for the Hope community. The Film Committee also takes
suggestions.
How do you choose the performers who come
to Hope?
Representatives
from SAC go to two conferences a year for the National Association for
Campus Activities (NACA). At these conferences, we go to showcases where performers
come have 15 minutes to show off their talent. If we see something we like, we
are able to do all of our booking there as agents right there. We can also
form blocks, where other schools
in the area bring in the same entertainers, so we all
get a cheaper rate. Besides that, we often go by who
we have had in past years that we liked
and as
we hear about performers from other people
as well.
How much
to performers get paid for a show?
Prices range
from around $1,000 to $5,000 per performer that we select from at
NACA conferences, etc., that are somewhat "big name" depending on the act. Local entertainment
is significantly less.
Isn't $140
a year a little steep for a couple comedians?
The $140 student
activity fee doesn't all go to our budget!! We only get about 35% of
the money that comes in from that fee. Each student pays
about $49 to SAC. This goes toward everything our
organization does including room and board for the entertainers all the
way down to photocopying and paper clips. Because of this, you get to
enjoy about 9 to 11 entertainers a year for the bargain price
of $49! And, you get to go to fun events such as Spring Fling and the
Homecoming Hoedown, too.
