OK, I'll take a crack at this.  I think the key wording is "may" be 
expelled, but I see your
concern.  It really does sound harsh.  Can we work in something like....
"Any SAC member who refuses to sign a waiver will be considered to not be 
participating
in said club activity and is acting on their own behalf seperate and 
independantly from SAC."
Or am I backtracking here?

Legal advice?  What specifically do you mean to ask AJ?  I'm not poo-pooing 
the idea, just
that if we are going to consult, we need some very specific questions.  And 
on top of that,
even after consultation, what extra protection will we have gained?

Let's get it figgered out.....
