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--

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.

Marvelous. Next.

What the hell is student relations anyway? Is that a fancy way of saying you'll keep track of who's screwing who for everyone? How do you define this?

Re: STUDENT RELATIONS

I see it as being the go-between for the students and the student council. Student relations should be about bringing information to the council from the student body, and to the student body from the council, working to bridge the gap between the two.

Thank you Mr. McDonald.

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

Re: STUDENT RELATIONS

There is a tremendous amount of responsibility in any elected position. In this position, that responsibility would mostly involve making sure that the students know what is going on, and that the council knows how the students feel.

In this particular position, I would have to be accountable to the students in ensuring that I acted in their best interests and in making sure all important information is given to everyone. It would be my responsibility to act in the best interests of the students in all student council matters. I would also have to be accountable to the administration, since I would be holding a position in the student government and the administration would have to be overseeing that government.
