Service at Samfunnet
What does one do on service at Samfunnet?
The task assigned on party nights varies, and you can make requests as to what you want to do. This is an excellent opportunity to observe the different committees at Samfunnet and consider if you would like to join them either as a committee member or chief of a committee. A normal service looks like this:
19.30 - Meet up in the Bodega, get information and tasks are assigned by the person in charge of the night. Tasks to choose from varies, but here are some: bouncer, scan student cards at the door, wardrobe, stray guard, guard emergency exits, guard the stage, bar and make sure the workers get coffee and fruit.
Throughout the night you can always ask the people with green (in charge of bar), red (in charge of security), blue (in charge of technical equipment) or dark blue (in charge of the ening) colored shirts if you have any questions.

01.30 (wednesdays)/02.30 (fridays) - The guests will leave Samfunnet and everyone helps clean up. At the end there will be served pizza in the Bodega, before going home. Hopefully with some new friends and a feeling of belonging to the heart of Samfunnet in Ås.
