SAU Student Association

The **Schuyler Adamson University Student Association**, abbreviated **SAUSA** and colloquially known as the **Student Association** or **Student Council**, is an organization in *Magical Girl Policy*. It is a student government at Schuyler Adamson University made up of representatives from various campus organizations. It has not directly appeared in the series, but it has power of school policies, and Cammy DeCroix schemes to gain control of the group for herself.

## Description

SAUSA is notable for the high level power it has compared to similar groups found in other universities, and for this reason it is very attractive to those interested in student government. It sets the rules to be followed by all student organizations, such as the requirements for a club to be officially recognized and how revenue is handled, but can also affect broader school policy such as the dress code.

The Council is made up of representatives from student organizations around campus, including clubs, fraternities, and sororities, with a group's number of representatives directly proportional to the size of its membership. To get approved, a group must meet some criteria and submit the proper paperwork to officials once a year. A group may have its recognition revoked due to failure to renew its status or as a punishment for breaking rules. As a whole, the Council is said to be somewhat conservative in its policies and its members not very proactive about voting, which is cited as the reason why the rather unpopular business casual dress code remains in place.

## History

### Background

Two years ago, SAUSA overhauled how campus groups were organized. The dedicated promotion group was dissolved, as all promotion of clubs and such were to be handled by the cheerleading team. The cheer team was greatly expanded as part of this and split into two: the Pep Squad would do traditional cheerleading activities, while the Promotion Squad was tasked with promoting all approved student groups. In return, the cheer team would receive a cut of dues from said groups. This movement was the work of Cammy, a freshman cheerleader who was able to get it through despite her lack of SAUSA membership thanks to having power over the current cheer captain and considerable social influence. Cammy hoped to abuse the cheer team's newfound authority by limiting which clubs were officially recognized, as if she could maintain her influence over enough of the Council voters, she could effectively control policy for her own benefit.

Cammy became cheer captain her sophomore year, and had the Promotion Squad give preference to clubs she had sway over, causing them to attract new members and thus gain Council voters at a faster rate than other clubs. She also attempted to sway the decisions of the man in charge of SAUSA paperwork, but was unsuccessful. Angela, a freshman cheerleader and Cammy's star promoter, would complacently go along with these lopsided promotion duties due to being affected by the captain's aura. After her friend Mallory spoke to her about how bad of an influence Cammy has actually been, Angela decided to investigate the cheer team's unusual actions with the help of Tanya, a sophomore cheerleader and nosy gossip who the captain was looking to add to her close social circle. Angela learned of Cammy's schemes and misuse of the cheer team's funds. She confronted Cammy about it, who claimed she would stop. Nothing came of this until Angela was called into the university's scholarship office, as Cammy had revealed that while Angela was putting off schoolwork for cheer business, she had some of her papers written by her tutors. Angela tried to explain the situation and present what she'd found on Cammy's schemes, but Cammy had remotely deleted the evidence from Angela's phone, as it was a gift that the captain had tampered with beforehand. As a result, Angela lost her Presidential Scholarship, her place on the cheer team, and all of her friends except Mallory. Angela would secretly continue trying to impede Cammy, also fearing that the captain might be reincarnated from the Empress.

Cammy managed to expand her influence to a slight majority of Council voters. She later learned, however, that the nerd club SFEERS is growing so rapidly that it could see her lose her majority. She sent two cheerleaders to a SFEERS social in hopes of infiltrating the club and influencing its representatives, but their insincere interest instead saw them alienated.

### Week 1

Cammy, now a junior, continues to be concerned over the Student Council's balance of power with the continued growth of SFEERS. One particularly large group she had sway over, the Sock Hop Society, had also lost its official status, and she is convinced Angela is somehow responsible for this. This hunch is correct, as Angela had stolen the Sock Hop Society's renewal paperwork before it could reach the offices to be processed. Cammy wants to attempt last year's SFEERS integration plan again, but this time with a cheerleader genuinely interested in the club, so she has all cheerleaders on promotion duty try to recruit any attractive nerds they see. When this search turns out a failure, Cammy and her right hand Jodi decide that they'll have to rely on Club Week, an event where official clubs set up booths to attract new members, in hopes of her controlled clubs growing enough to mitigate SFEERS's influence.

### Weeks 2-4

During Club Week, Cammy spots Robynne exiting the SFEERS booth and decides she is just the cheerleader needed to integrate into SFEERS. Stacy had failed to recruit Robynne onto the team, so Cammy attempts to do so personally by crashing Rob and Stacy's lunch. Rob sees past Cammy's friendly front and catches on that captain wants her on the cheer team because of her SFEERS membership, then tells the captain off and leaves. Angela had been watching this encounter from afar, and shortly after discusses it and everything about Cammy with Rob and then the rest of the Spirit Guard. They decide that Cammy must be stopped regardless of any possible connection to the Empress. Since Cammy is clearly desperate for Robynne's cooperation in obtaining SFEERS's Student Council votes for her, it's decided that Rob will return to Cammy and set conditions for her joining the cheer team, such as getting Vivian a spot as well so she won't be alone. Rob does so, and one of her demands in exchange for promising to sway the club's votes has her receive the parts to build a powerful new computer, justifying it by saying she'll need to be able to play high-end games in order get close to as many SFEERS members as possible.

## Known members

* **Cammy DeCroix:** Captain of the SAU Cheerleading Team. She was the one responsible for the Student Council overhauling how clubs were promoted two years ago, and hopes to control which clubs get Council representatives and how many they get so she may influence policy to her liking.
* **Fretribution:** President of SFEERS. With the clubs' large size, it is implied that other SFEERS officers are part of the Student Council as well.
* **Paperwork man:** The man in charge of handling the paperwork involved in clubs being recognized by the Council. He is extremely strict, with not even Cammy able to sway his decisions, so Angela believes he might possess some resistance to the captain's aura.
* **Sock Hop Society President:** A former representative of the Sock Hop Society. His club lost official status due to Angela stealing the necessary paperwork before it could reach the proper channels.
