Halfway through week one and we've all survived: better than some of the freshmen's prophecies, if I recall correctly. That's the first point of my first entry of the year, actually. I wanted to formally introduce myself as one of those people who intends to help make sure our end count is the same as our beginning count: as an RA in Victory Hall and your Student Council President, I hope that you'll all come to know my open door policy intimately. If you're uncomfortable about anything, have a concern, need a reprieve from your roommate or someone to talk to about home, I'm happy to be of whatever service I can be.
But as President, I also have to represent and communicate some of the school's policy, too. I want to make it clear that the Student Council will not be an idle body this year: while we hope to express your concerns with the Tournament and Camulus in a productive manner, we will also be taking steps to ensure that our student body is representing the school appropriately.
So while I'm sorry to start the school year off today, I need to make something clear: Headmaster Yi will not tolerate the kind of behavior exhibited Sunday evening. The property damage is totaling over $3000, which may seem like not a lot. It has been decided, however, to come out of the Student Council budget. He also wants to make it understood that the Societies are a privilege, not a right.
What I'm saying is that it's a very real possibility that the Societies will be shut down this year if things don't change.
Anyway! I realize that's very severe and I hope you understand I'm the messenger. Welcome back, Camulus: here's to the best year yet.
EXECUTIVE STUDENT COUNCIL:What a bad way to introduce myself. But Headmaster Yi was not happy this afternoon -- I actually had to convince him to keep the Societies intact. I don't think he's as invested in the importance of the media angle as we are. Maybe that's something we can discuss amongst ourselves. Anyway, I think for the time being it's important to keep everything intact.
Onto business! Executive meeting this Sunday? I'm going to book one of the conference rooms and will provide wine, water and vegetarian treats. Hope everyone can make it!
