Journalism Class - Thursday September 29

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

The screens in Spider’s classroom this morning are showing various scenes from around the school and school grounds. Various students are in the study hall, walking between the buildings, arguing, making out… just another average morning.

Spider’s desk is covered in maps and there are semi-transparent displays clustered around him as he rummages. Before the desk, on an easel, is the following notice.

Students:

Today we’re going to discuss the student election process because, to date, I haven’t seen any process at all. Do the candidates have stated public platforms yet? Have there been debates scheduled? Do we have a date for the elections themselves? What, exactly, are the duties and powers for the various positions?

Discuss and/or ferret out the answers.





((OOC: There will be a later post regarding tomorrow’s field trip. I have to go back and check who signed up to go and whether they all really have turned in their permission slips. I also have to go back and respond to students in yesterday’s class because last night got a little out of hand so I didn’t get back to that – and my deepest apologies.))

*reads the notice, doesn't give a damn about the elections, but hangs for a few minutes anyway.*

I heard someone say that the elections were to be held two weeks after the nominations. As for the election, it's just another popularity contest, like this Homecoming King/Queen thing, to see which student out socializes another. Given that Principle Connors is the ultimate authority in the school and that the students fulfilling those offices are completely powerless, the whole thing seems an exercise in futility.

Yes, but it's quite entertaining all the same.

-_-; Something to the effect of, "if you vote for me, I buy you drinks."

*considers some of the posters she's seen on campus this week and the one on her own door (http://www.livejournal.com/users/dbiers/2809.html)* Good point.

So, Jessica, you're running for... treasurer. Have a platform yet?
