FANDOM HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL DEBATES

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Good evening from the Fandom High auditorium. I'm CJ Cregg and I'll be moderating the Student Council debates.

Our Format tonight will be as follows:
Students and teachers alike will ask questions of the candidates. [Please submit your questions to the moderator via the appropriate thread] Each candidate
will respond to the question in turn, and I will call on each for their response.

After each candidate has gone, any one may request a further rebuttal to address
a point made by an opponent, the granting of which is at my discretion. The press will have full access and are also encouraged to
contribute questions.

In the case of no opponent, the same format will
apply, although the rebuttals will be unnecessary for obvious reasons.



For the position of student council president--
_notanumber,future_visions, pure_blooddraco

Vice presidential candiates--
cyloninmyhead, demonbelthazorand notcalledlizzie

For Secretary--
_gottahavefaith and lizzy_turner

For Treasurer--

I ask that anyone who wishes to be a write in candidate remain in the audience, and feel free to question their opponent...making clear the potential as a candidate. All responses, please be concise. This is a venue to discuss qualifications, not to sling mud. Let's have a nice clean debate. Let's go gang.



((ooc: respond in the appropriate comment thread in order to keep this organized. thank you))

Faith is ready. Totally calm, she grins at Elizabeth, Prof. Cregg and the audience.

Re: SECRETARY

Miss Lehane, shall we begin with you? What do you see the position of Secretary as being in our unique environment, what are your goals, and how do you plan to acheive those goals?

Re: SECRETARY

Well, considering that our school is... a bit unique, anyone who wants to represent the student body here is going to have to adapt to the special circumstances.

As secretary, I plan on making sure that the student body is totally and completley informed on everything that goes on with student council- secrets can't, and shouldn't, be kept in a school like this. I plan on using the school newspaper, radio station (where I do a weekly broadcast), web site, and bulliten boards to inform students of what goes on.

A very important thing in a school where there are zombie attacks, gremlin infestations, and evil baked goods is communication of what to do in an emergency. The student council officers should work with the administration to develop emergency plans for every contingency, and to publicize them to the students. My experience and knowledge of various sorts of supernatural danger (such as zombies) would make me very helpful in this respect.

Thank you, Professor Cregg.

Faith swallows a grin and a giggle at the wording of the question.
"Well, I'm not best friends with Elizabeth. But she seems like an incredibly nice girl- she seems polite, even to those running in other parties. She seems smart- I mean, she's running for student council. She is also someone who seems to be well spoken and aware of what she wants to do- she has it together."

Should some horrifying cafeteria concoction cause ye to exaggerate yer most annoyin' characteristic, what would ye be doing?

Re: SECRETARY

[http://users.livejournal.com/_gottahavefaith/]

Hm. I'd probably start feeling compelled to like, save and protect everyone. Sometimes, these Slayer instincts, they just get out of control, and it's annoying as anything.

Re: SECRETARY

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

How do you feel about Barry Manilow? Kenny G? That one annoying white-boy band who think's they're reggae and ruins perfectly good Cure songs?

Re: SECRETARY

[http://users.livejournal.com/_gottahavefaith/]

I'm not a fan of Barry. Kenny, I like that one song of his, with the radio clips. And ruining Cure songs? 100% unacceptable.

Re: SECRETARY

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Argh! Do any o' ye be likin' pirates?

Re: SECRETARY

[http://users.livejournal.com/_gottahavefaith/]

I love pirates. Lots and lots.

Re: SECRETARY

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Exactly how many people here have you nailed so far?...I'm not finishing that question, Miss Lehane.

Re: SECRETARY

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

ooc: is dying to know

Re: SECRETARY

[http://users.livejournal.com/_gottahavefaith/]

(ooc- I seriously had to think- Jayne, Angelus, Barbossa(I think), Johnny Crane, Callisto, Shane(I don't remember), and I dont know anyone else. Who suggested this question? They're my hero)

Re: SECRETARY

[http://users.livejournal.com/_gottahavefaith/]

No, no, I am willing to be open with the student body. *thinks* Would the question asker like some ratings, cause I could give them that, too.
Four men, two women. As far as I remember

Re: SECRETARY

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

Good afternoon, Miss Cregg. I'm ready *she smiles and looks at Faith, grinning*

Re: SECRETARY

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Miss Turner, thank you for your patience. Same question, please,
What do you see the position of Secretary as being in our unique environment, what are your goals, and how do you plan to acheive those goals?

Re: SECRETARY

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

Normally, a Secretary would be on call to take down notes during meetings and report to the student body as to what happened in the meeting. Of course, this isn't a normal school, and such the position must be altered slightly. I see a secretary in our school as being, as Faith has referred to, as a position of communication. The secreatry would be a messenger between the general student body and those who hold positions and make the decisions in student council.

I plan on keeping the students informed by using as many means as necessary. Whether it be e-mail, which I have recently learned how to use, or posting flyers up with various announcements, I will make sure that there is no doubt as to what the student council is up to.

Considering the recent concern with the safety of the school, I will make sure that if there are any impending attacks, there will be no doubts as to whether they are occurring and how one can help stop it from happening, as well as how to avoid getting hurt in the event that such attacks should occur. This would include escape routes, saftey zones, etc. I might not have had as much experience as my opponent in these matters, but having lived in a place where pirates frequently tried to overrun our island, I believe I have a fair amount of knowledge as to avoiding trouble.

Thank you, Miss Turner. Now, please...

Re: SECRETARY

*She grins and looks over at Faith*

As Faith said, we are not very good friends. But from what I've heard, she did a good job defending the school from zombies, she can be quite nice, and is one of the few people who didn't try to attack the mime, according to some of my friends on the second floor, at least. She holds a great deal of honor, which is important when running for office.

Re: SECRETARY

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Fine. Now,
Should some horrifying cafeteria concoction cause ye to exaggerate yer most annoyin' characteristic, what would ye be doing?

Re: SECRETARY

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

My most annoying characteristic...although I am not entirely sure myself, it would probably cause me to whine about how much I do not want to marry Norrington and complain about my current state of my love life. I would be lying if I said I didn't have any annoying characteristics, so it is probably best to be up front.

Re: SECRETARY

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Re: SECRETARY

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

I have never heard any of these bands. Are these modern? I am not up to date with the music of this time period, and therefore cannot answer.
