Professor Jerusalem looks old and cranky this morning - or as old and cranky as you can get at the ripe old age of 35. The cat is again playing beneath his desk, this time with something that it probably wouldn't pay to examine too closely.

The Professor is poking somewhat suspiciously at what looks like a perfectly ordinary sandwich.

On the screen behind him is the following message:

Announcement:

I don't want to talk about it. At all. I don't want to hear it, either. Foodstuffs of any kind and the shambling undead are both totally verboten subjects.

Instead, I want to hear about your thoughts as to the student elections - unrelated to the homework assignment. If you must gossip and chatter, let's stick to actual school business. Please.


ALSO: This professor has made it his life's work to make politicians live up to their promises or put them through an un-ending living Hell and will most likely be encouraging his students to do the same. Tomorrow we will discuss 'Monstering'. With inappropriate glee and possibly illustrations.

Political Hopefuls - Beware

"Public speeches? Debate? Campaign promises?" Spider waved a hand. "These people need campaign managers, I think, and a public forum to communicate in."

Public forum as in a town hall meeting kind of thing? I'm sure that could be set up in the auditorium or even over the PA system. Even if they write their platform on a sheet of paper and distribute it to the school.

Campaign managers is something I'm not sure how to remedy. I've seen only one advertisement for a campaign manager so I was assuming the others already were set up with management.
