"House"

The term "house" is a frequent but erroneous way of referring to the Student Association Representatives as a whole. The term's use originated from a typo contained in the Student Association Charter, which was corrected in 2011.

The position of Speaker of the Association was mistakenly referred to as the more historically common "Speaker of the House" in one instance in the Student Association Charter. All other references to the position read "Speaker of the Association." In order to correct the error, Student Association Representative Daniel Chapman drafted a charter amendment which stated that: "'Speaker of the Association’ be used in place of ‘Speaker of the House’ and ‘Speaker of the Student Association’ for all occurrences in both the charter and the by-laws."

The typo led to a chain reaction of vernacular usage which continues to this day. Official remnants which still exist include the association's current naming scheme for motions and resolutions as "H.M." and "H.R.," respectively.
