hallway spokespersons

The hallway spokespersons form the basis of student participation in the administration of the Rosenbachweg. They represent the their hallway's interests and are eligible to vote at the dormitory council (WR). Thereby, they pass motions, elect the members of the self-administration (SV) and discharge their work.

Why should I become a hallway spokesperson?

There are numerous reason for becoming a spokesperson:

• A greater number of hallways represented strengthens the self-administration's claim to represent all residents' matters as well as its outward position.
• By comitting for your hallway you automatically make for a more social living, not only in your hallway but in the whole of Rosenbachweg.
• Especially as a spokesperson in house 10/12 you're entitled to collect 5€ per semester for cleaning items for you and your neighbours.
• If you do your duties as spokesperson correctly, the particular semester is not counted towards the maximum period of residence.

How do I become a hallway spokesperson?

In order to become spokesperson you need to collect at least half the votes in an assembly of the hallway. This can be done at any time but commonly new spokesperson are elected at the beginning of each semester and at the latest four weeks after the first WR of the semester. For this purpose there's a ready-made form which you then hand in to the current BA-Vorsitz.
