Student Council meeting [Lunch time]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh sat at his desk eating a sandwich and flipping through the Washington Post as he waited for the members of the Student Council to arrive.

He pointed to the sign-in sheet when they arrived. "Welcome to the new incarnation of the Student Council. I know most of you, but for those I don't, I'm Josh Lyman. I teach history, government, and politics now, but up until a few weeks ago, I was the deputy chief of staff for the Bartlet Administration. I'm here to tell you that actual politics bears a shockingly close resemblance to Student Council work--the only difference is the national government has more funding and we spend less time worrying about school spirit and pep rallies."

Josh swung his feet onto his desk. "Because there are twelve of you representing the various classes here, I want you all to have an equal say--but we do need one person to be more equal than others. Someone who wants to be in charge. Someone who, and this is very important, isn't me."

He rubbed his hands through his hair. "First order of business, then: who wants to be President?"

Lilly sings in, fighting her instinct to duck at the very notion of being President.

I want to be President

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

...and here's why...

Re: I want to be President

"I want to be president, because otherwise Parker will want it an beat everyone up until she gets it. And that's a bad thing."

"Look, I have real world leadership experience, I could kill most of you were you stand, I'm willing to put in the slow-played hours, and I'm crazy enough to want the job. Also, iron fist, velvet glove, need I say more?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"I've got control issues past experience with this sort of things. Lots of experience. I actually like responsibility, and not boasting, but I'm pretty good at negotiating things. I also like to be in charge feel that simply because I'm not a senior, I should be immediately discounted from the nominations.

"I want to be President to piss off Marty Blank. Also, it looks good on Harvard applications."

"I think Blair still has the list we made of things the Freshman class was thinking of... But I do know we need to find a service to refill the vending machines in the dorms more often."

Talk to Josh...

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Because he's very approachable now that he's had lunch and coffee.

General chatting...

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Getting to know each other, not necessarily council-related.

Re: General chatting...

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Having brought lunch per Josh's request, Angel sipped pig's blood out of a coffee mug. He looked somewhat rattled. Could be from class with Josh earlier that day, could be because of the muppet chickens.

Voting for President

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh looked at the group of students.

"Okay, we have the following people who want to be President: Callisto, Parker, Elizabeth, and Clarence, who isn't actually on the Council and so I can ignore him."

Please write the name of the person you'd like to be President on a piece of paper and leave it as a comment in this thread and pretend you can't read everyone else's votes and put it in," Josh reached below his desk and pulled up a box, "this totally official voting box thing."

Angel wrote Callisto's name down and put it in a box. He did not put a little heart around it, though he might have been tempted to
