Sub-senior

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Subsenior (also Drittchargierter , record keeper , secretary , Skriptor or secretary ) is a batch of a student connection .

corps

Especially in corps he is the representative of the consensus . He is responsible for all correspondence, and in the case of Corps, he is also responsible for the Kösener reports of the active and old men to the suburb of the KSCV and the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention . In Corps he uses the phrase For the CC i above his name . A. at.

In many connections, the sub-senior manages the cashier of the active, takes care of the bookkeeping and billing and provides the connection with purchases of all kinds. He is therefore usually accountable to the old man's cashier on the one hand, and the convent on the other.

The sub-senior usually uses three small crosses (xxx) as a batch number, which he places behind his name and the circle . In some senior citizens' conventions or in individual corps (e.g. in Bielefeld, Braunschweig, Clausthal, Dresden (Teutonia), Erlangen, Göttingen, Hanover, Jena, Kaiserslautern, Leipzig and Munich (KSCV) it is common for the sub-senior A cross (x) is used as the batch mark and the senior has three crosses (xxx). If certain requirements are met, which differ from connection to connection (e.g. good administration and / or scales of sufficient quality), he can use this symbol During his one-semester term of office, he will have it in brackets after his name throughout his life.This award will be democratically voted on at the end of each semester in the responsible convention.

The term sub-senior is now often replaced by “cashier”, which does not exactly correspond to the duties. Many corps, especially the older ones, use the old name because of tradition.

At least until 1935 the sub-senior in many or even most of the corps did not lead the third but the second batch with responsibility for fencing. In particular in the old corps, which emphasized the outstanding office of the senior, it was thus made clear that the second charged was not “next to” but “under” the senior. According to Egbert Weiß , the oldest known examples are the Constitutions of the Vandalia Göttingen and the Lusatia Leipzig from 1808 and the Vandalia Jena from 1811.

Catholic fraternities

In Catholic fraternities of Drittchargierte is Skriptor or Scriptor or secretary .

The word scriptor comes from the Latin and means something like scribe . His tasks within the batch cabinet include handling correspondence, updating the member lists and drawing up the convent protocols for the active connection. The written output is usually countersigned by the senior of the connection. In contrast to earlier times, however, the scriptor spends most of his batch work in front of the computer. In many associations the scriptor has other tasks, such as keeping the office space tidy or providing work materials, but this varies within the associations depending on their rules of procedure. As a rule, the scriptor is democratically elected at a regular convention before the start of the semester and is also discharged at the end of the semester. Even with Catholic connections, the scriptor uses three small crosses (xxx) as a batch mark, which he places behind his name and the circle. In the batch hierarchy but he stands by Senior , Cub Major and Consenior fourth. He is followed by the quaestor (treasurer / cashier) who, in contrast to other associations, represents a separate batch.
