301--Final Project

This is it, gang. what we've been working towards. Everything I've tried to teach you will help you survive this final task.

You are going to ask for something. Sounds easy, hmm? Not really. You are going to knowingly and willfully employ hegemony to generate reciprocity from one of two people. Dean Bristow agreed to this and I really hope he can still play it Friday, as did Red. Today I'll help you. We've prepped a bit, but now it gets intense because I will not send you into battle without a plan. Ok?

Choose your audience, and choose your request. I'll be checking and if you need help, ask.

Ok, kids. Go.

[Jack starts scribbling things down on paper.] It doesn't have to be Homecoming every week -- in fact, if it was, it'd stop being a good morale boost. But having something to look forward to on a regular basis helps keep people from freaking out.

Cost outlay? It is something that would probably fall under Student Council, so whatever teacher oversees that could probably oversee this, which would take more of his or her time. Materials for posters and the like, and costs for events would be the biggest gross costs. [Scribble scribble scribble.] But I would argue that a lot of the cost would be absorbed by the improved morale. Less time wasted by both teachers and students in dealing with problems. While it's not easy to *quantify* the cost, it is a practical benefit, not just an intangible benefit.

[Jack hands over the pages with the notes on cost that he's made for CJ to review.]

[Looking them over, she grins] You should probably talk to Anya, since she's the Treasurer. But go to the top first, get approval for the project, then go see if you can get her to give up the cash. [She can't help but snort out a laugh. After having listened to the debates, that might be tough.]

Ok, so not everyday, good point. But what kinds of events? You may want to look into what kinds of school spirit things other high schools do. Dances are only one thing. There's school carnivals, pep rallys...all kinds of stuff. The internet is your friend, Chip.

Right. We've got the rest of the week on this, right?

[Drops his voice.] Oh, and something else... I can borrow your credit card, right?

[She smirks at him] Not if you're getting on the internet, no.

No, no. Christmas shopping. Only in town, I swear.

Yeah, babe. Catch me after class. [She smiles and makes a few suggestions on his notes before moving on.]
