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.

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

Fabulous, Miss Trebond. Now we have a question from the audience.

Which do you feel is the best choice for a school setting: a good sense of offense, a solid defense, or a combination of both? Why?

Alanna bit her lower lip in thought before answering. "I'm a firm believer of a combinatino of offense and defense, but I believe defense must come first. What's the point of an offense, if your back is open to attack? However, just focusing on defense is not good either since when the defense breaks, you've got nothing to protect yourself with. As Student Security Officer, I would work on both making sure that students were protected on a day-to-day bases, and that in the event of an attack, as the one that occured with the Zombies, would be able to fight back. Efficiently."

And another from the audience, Miss Trebond, if you please...

*clears her throat and attempts the accent*
Ye be talkin' about how wonderful all yer ideas are. Give us three things about why yer opponent be not Satan.

Alanna smiled. "Marty is far from being Satan. Actually, as far as I have seen he is nice, responsible individual who cares deaply for his girlfriend. It's an honor to be running in the campaign that so far has had the least mud slinging. He has some good ideas as well, and would not be the worst person for this position. It's an honor running against him."

*looks slightly disgusted*

If you were a tree, what type of tree would you be and why?

Alanna blinks at the rather odd question and decides to go for a light answer. "Well, first of all, a short one. And a sturdy one that's not easy to bend. I hold my ground and I think the me!tree would as well. I don't know specific types of trees, not my specialty. But I think I would be one that also has healing properties, like myself."

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

Alanna bit her lip in thought, or perhaps so that she didn't burst out laughing. "I would be yelling and cursing. A lot. Also, probably putting on a lot of sweaters and stomping on spiders."

Also, How do you plan to address the constant threat of Locker 327? And do you really think that little sword of yours is any match against a modern weapon, such as, oh, a Glock .9mm?

Alanna grinned. "Little? And um, well, there's a reason it was allowed to stay with me. I haven't had to use it against a gun yet, but so far it's shown to be more than "just a sword". Also, I've started taking lessons in shooting. I can already use a bow and arrow, I don't think a gun is that different.

As for Locker 327, I have a few ideas. First of all, I would like to see some research done into as to how/why/where it works. Secondly, I'd like to see some warning put around it, possibly have it taped over or in some other way covered so that it can't be used as a portal as easily."

And again...

Do you feel that Fandom High has currently has a fair and just way for dealing with complaints about misbehaving students? If so, why? If not, why not?

"Yes, I do believe it to be fair. If you do something wrong and are caught, you get in trouble. I think that the punishments should be a bit worse, detention's here seem to lack any strenght. Back home, I would be scrubbing the stables for weeks for some of the things people get in trouble here for."

In the future, what will you do to protect fellow students from lame social events? Such as the Homecoming Dance, which is laughably themed "Come As You Aren't." I mean, that's just so early-1990's. And most everyone is going formal anyway.

Alanna blinked, and then blinked again. "Um, I feel that this is out of the juristiction of the Security Officer. Perhaps the Events Coordinater? Plus, the worst thing that could happen to you is that you and your date clash. Not very leathal. However, I do think that the Security Officer should provide actual security at the dance, and put a limit on the alcohol consumption."

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?

Alanna stared at Ms. Cregg. "Who? And whom? I'm sorry, wrong world. All I've heard so far has been the random music people are playing. And I think my answer is going to be the same as it was for the dance. If they ruin music, I guess they're bad. Honestly, I don't think this has anything to do with security, unless they turn out to be pure evil."

Can you do the Fandango?

Alanna stared. "Perhaps the Security Officer should also look into lowering the amount of alcohol that is being drunk by students. Especially before major events. What in the world is the Fandango?"

*sighs* Ok, this is just getting ridiculous...who is submitting these?

Do you know the muffin man?

Alanna stares. "No, I do not. This is ridiculus and I stand by my alcohol comment. And the jurisdiction one. The muffin man? Does he bake muffins?"

Miss Trebond, I'm just reading the questions. *looks at her over her glasses* Part of this is how you deal with this idiocy.

Alanna rubs a hand over her forehead and counts backwards from ten. "I'm sorry Ms. Cregg, I was under the impression the questions would be serious. My comments were directed towards the student, not you." She takes another deep breath. "I take safety and security seriously. I don't believe Muffins or Music have anything to do with the safety of the students. However, silly behavior can lead to accidents."
