Student Council meeting [Lunch time]
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?"
[OOC: slowplay will be our friend as to make sure all StuCo members in various timezones can play, too.]

Re: The brilliant ideas I want to share with the group
"I have no obsessions. At all. Just... don't look in my sketchbook. For no related reason. Ahem.""What about students painting their rooms?" Angel asked. "I've been thinking there aren't enough rewards in school for students. For instance seniors have pretty much nothing to call their own. Some schools offer perks by letting seniors paint their own parking spaces. We live here so... maybe seniors and students with high GPAs earn the right to decorate their rooms however they want? Including paint?"
Re: The brilliant ideas I want to share with the group
Blair thought for a second. "Maybe the seniors could have a senior trip or something? Or have lunch brought every Friday or something?"
