What Does Waas Think?
I think you all should join The Apprentice Club

Issue date: 10/7/04 Section: Opinion
Every once in a while, we are forced to stoop down a level, and resort to shameless self-promotion. Now, you all might be thinking, "Amanda, talking about The Apprentice Club isn't self-promotion! We all know that David Clark started the club!" And let me tell you, if you are thinking that, you are wrong. Dead wrong. Yes, David Clark did start The Apprentice Club, and his title is President and CEO of the club, but I also hold a high position in the club caste system. My official title is CEC, which stands for Corporate Executive Chief. What does that mean? Nothing. But it sounds good, doesn't it? Oh yeah.
As I mentioned, The Apprentice Club was started by David, (whom we now refer to as "The David") because of his obsessive love of the show and The Donald. As I'm sure you all know, Donald Trump lives in excessive opulence, sparing no expense on anything. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he uses hundred dollar bills to blow his nose. Oh wait; he probably uses designer monogrammed handkerchiefs worth more than my house. Anyway, all of us members of The Apprentice Club (Team Champagnat) want that exact lifestyle. Whenever the theme song comes on, which only consists of the word "money," we all sing along, and then concur that we all want to be dripping with diamonds, rubies, or maybe emeralds; we are divided on that one.
Anyway, our mutual love of money, capitalism and reality shows brought us all together in a club-like fashion. Every Thursday, we crowd around the big screen television of the fourth floor of Champagnat Hall to watch. Our club is expanding in membership, and in activities. Because my mom is such a mom, she bought me the Trump board game and gave it to me on Family Weekend. So now, not only will we watch the show, gossip about the contestants, and discuss the business techniques employed in each week's task, we will also be able to play Trump: The game! It's a great time. Join, or you're fired.
The Apprentice Club meets every Thursday in the fourth floor lounge in Champagnat Hall at 9p.m. For more information contact The David at
