Traffic Lights

For many years now, the traffic lights have been hanging next to the entrance to the student council room, showing students the way. But what do the different traffic light phases actually mean?

The traffic light is green

The student council is currently occupied, come and visit us!

The traffic light is red

The student council is currently closed, but someone will be back later. There can be 3 reasons for this:

• There is a gap in the attendance duty plan or the current attendance duty is cancelled at short notice.
• The currently present student council member is stretching their legs or doing some student council work outside the student council room.
• A closed meeting is currently taking place in the student council room.

You will usually find a notice on the door to the student council room indicating whether it is worth waiting for a short time.

The traffic light is off

Every morning, the first student council member arriving switches the traffic lights on and every evening the last person to leave the room switches them off again. So if you are standing in front of a switched-off traffic light in the morning, nobody has been there yet. Similarly, if the traffic lights are switched off in the afternoon or evening, this means that the student council is closed to guests for the day.
