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.

We have another question, Mr. Malfoy.

We hear a lot of talk about diversity, but what about action? What have you actually done to reach out to the different kinds of students in this school and what will you do if you get elected?

"Well, being from a school where it was filled with all magical students I didn't really have a chance to deal with anyone else. Naturally when I came here I was fascinated with those who were brought up differently than myself. I have joined clubs which is a great way to meet new people. In classes where I am required to get a partner I try to choose a parter with a different background than my own. For instance two of my partners are Rory Gilmore and Death. Both are different from what I am used to, Death especially, and I feel we've become good friends. I have learned from my interactions with students that we aren't so different as I was led to believe back at my home. And of course people have come up to me asking me questions about being a wizard and I am only too happy to answer them. I want everyone to be comfortable with me being a wizard as I want to be comfortable with them.

I just wish there were more ways that I could meet my fellow students outside of class. There are so many of us that it is hard to get to know everybody. That is why if I am elected president I will make it one of my main goals to create more ways for the students to get together. Study groups, common room get togethers, fundraisers and creating more clubs.

Excellent, Mr. Malfoy. What level of responsibility and accountability do you feel your position will owe to both the student body and to the administration?

I believe the first job of the president is to know what is going on in Fandom High. The president needs to talk to the students to find out the problems of the school so he/she can fix them. And they need to know the things that are going well in the school so they can perhaps improve on them. They are the eyes and ears of the school.

Another job of the president is to know what the other officers are doing and try to help them in any way possible. The student council, like the school, has to work together to get to a common goal.

The position of president is not a position of phenominal cosmic power. They do not have the final say. Everyone in the student council works together to make decisions. A president's responsibility is to make sure that everyone in the student council is organized, aware of what is going on in the school and working together.

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

Draco is silent for a moment. This would be have to be carefully worded.

"Well, I know better than to eat from the cafeteria but if I did end up eating something like that I'd probably be pretty arrogant. I'd probably be showing off or bragging about myself. I don't think being confident in yourself is a bad or anything but it can get out of hand. So yeah, I'd imagine I'd be a pretty big show off if I ate something like that."

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?

"Well, I can't really give an honest opinion on Barry Manilow or the annoying white-boy band because I have no idea who they are. I have not yet been at this school long enough to learn a lot of pop culture references, but I'm trying to get caught up.

And as for Kenny G...even being a wizard does not mean you can escape the horror that is Kenny G. Nobody should "rock out" on a clarinet. Nobody."

How do you propose to solve the problem of the cafeteria food attacking students?

"Well from what I've seen, ever since the Swedish Chef has arrived the cafeteria food attacking hasn't been too much of a problem. Or if it does cause problems he is nice enough to warn you. I think we should be more careful about what the students make. I know Slartibartfast has cooking courses students can take. And perhaps maybe the Chef could take on an apprentice who can in turn make the foods for student orginizations.

And if the Chef does make food that attacks the students well...we can just sit him and Das Schnitzel down and talk to them about food safety."
