You’re now fifth in line to the Presidency,<br />
which is like being the Minister of Agriculture,<br />
but whatever, you’ve got the welfare of <strong>20</strong>,000<br />
students to worry about. You’re expected to<br />
maintain “good working relationships” with<br />
an illustrious bunch of people, including the<br />
Student Support Manager, Queer Support<br />
Coordinator, Public Health South, the Dunedin<br />
Community Law Centre, the Uni’s Director of<br />
Student Services, the Director of Student<br />
Health,, and your mum and dad. Despite the long laundry list, the position<br />
is one that you can really make your own. <strong>20</strong> hours per week.<br />

You do actually have to be a postgrad to stand<br />
for this position, and being foreign seems to<br />
help. Being old helps too. You’re basically<br />
around to make sure that OUSA gives more<br />
of a shit about postgrads than Critic does. You<br />
sit on the Uni Senate, and you’re supposed<br />
to be best buds with the Director of Graduate<br />
Research. 10 hours per week.<br />

Again, you actually have to be an infidel<br />
– sorry, foreigner – for this role. Like the<br />
Postgrad rep, you’re making sure that OUSA<br />
remembers that there are actually international<br />
students at Otago. You sit on the<br />
International Cultural Council and the Education<br />
and Welfare <strong>co</strong>mmittees, and generally<br />
represent foreigners. 10 hours per week.<br />

If you’re quite a fan of the ol’ clubs and societies<br />
then this is probably the job for you. It’s<br />
a busy job, as clubs and their members are<br />
always hitting you up for grants and financial<br />
support, and you sit on the Recreation<br />
Committee, Grants Committee, Blues and<br />
Golds Panels, and the affiliated Clubs Council,<br />
whatever the shit that is. 10 hours per week.<br />

Who doesn’t love freshers, right? The weird<br />
thing about the Colleges rep is that they<br />
should probably be a fresher, but can’t be,<br />
since next year’s freshers aren’t actually at<br />
uni yet. The lucky winner gets to sit on a few<br />
<strong>co</strong>mmittees and basically make sure that<br />
freshers are getting their fair share of shit<br />
from OUSA. Since they get Orientation put on<br />
for them, they’re pretty sorted. But anyway,<br />
it’s a <strong>co</strong>ol gig. 10 hours per week.<br />

Last but not least is the Campaigns Rep, who<br />
takes responsibility for the publications,<br />
campaigns, and initiatives that OUSA takes<br />
on each year. If OUSA wants to get out a “Stop<br />
Puffer Jackets” campaign, you’ll be leading the<br />
charge. You sit on a <strong>co</strong>uple of <strong>co</strong>mmittees, and<br />
help out with organising events and such. It’s<br />
pretty sweet. 10 hours per week.<br />
