I've look everywhere and can't seem to find what I thought might be an easy line to change a standby switch to a normal member. I had a tech add a switch to an existing stack (four switches, now five), I didn't want him to power it up, but he did anyway and the new switch decided it was a standby switch (switch 5).
Switch/Stack Mac Address : 008e.730b.8f80 - Local Mac Address
Mac persistency wait time: Indefinite
H/W Current
Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State
------------------------------------------------------------
1 Member 008e.730b.a680 1 V06 Ready
*2 Active 008e.730b.8f80 15 V06 Ready
3 Member 008e.730b.8100 1 V06 Ready
4 Member 00af.1fcc.0980 14 V06 Ready
5 Standby 0056.2b2a.2f80 1 V06 Ready
I don't want a standby switch, I just want another member switch. Any help?

There should be a standby switch though , so if the active fails he instantly becomes the active master for the stack
from the docs
A switch stack always has one active switch and one standby switch. If the active switch becomes unavailable, the standby switch assumes the role of the active switch, and continues to the keep the stack operational.
