fandomhigh | FANDOM HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL DEBATES

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.

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.

Mr. Malfoy, you seem prepared. You may begin. How do you view the position of President as being in our unique environment, what are your goals, and how do you plan to acheive those goals?

"Well, I admit that having a student council here would be a difficult job. We have such a wide variety of people, human and non-human that it's hard to be able to suit everyone's needs. I believe the first thing that is needed is a way to break down the racial barriers we have here. Humans, aliens, mutants, wizards; we need to stop putting ourselves in separate groups and start working together. We shouldn't be afraid of each other just because we have unique abilites. We should be taking our abilites and using them to make a better school.

To achieve these goals I think we should start with having more activites planned. Homecoming is a start, it's a way for all of us to be together without the distraction of schoolwork. I know students have formed clubs but there could always be more to suit every interest. And some clubs have been formed but haven't had meetings yet, we need to get more involvement. Even parties are a good way of getting people in a room together, interacting. Whatever helps the students of Fandom High to stop being suspicious of each other."

Thank you Mr. Malfoy. Miss Halliwell's rebuttal...

"The thing is, I happen to agree with a lot of Mr. Malfoy's ideas.

We have such a diverse population of both students and faculty that it will indeed be a challenge to be balanced and fair for each student. No one decision or event is going to please everyone that calls Fandom High their home. The idea is to try to at least provide a balanced medium that offers compromise to each student without showing favoritism.

The problem is that there is too much racism and cliquishness among the student body. We as student government, no matter what the outcome of the election, need to work at doing more to unite the student body. It shouldn't take an attack on our school to unite us and make us work together."

Thank you Miss Halliwell. Mr. Malfoy? Care to make your rebuttal to anything she's said?

"I have got nothing to add to Miss. Halliwell's comments as we seem to agree that the main issue is to get the students together."
