Today's Announcements

[ugly-old-hat.livejournal.com]

I apologize for the very disturbing occurrences of yesterday evening. Students are reminded that they should not give Barney substances that affect his ability to function properly. Muggle drugs are not allowed on the Castle grounds! Our Professors are, of course, still allowed to experiment on him with magic in any way they wish.

Please welcome our newest members! As the lists have grown rather lengthy, henceforth we will direct your attention to the Community Information rather than placing the entire list in the announcement posts. There you will find a link to each member’s application as well as a complete Staff Directory. Members wishing to contact each other may find it easiest to do so by leaving a comment at their application post, or, in the case of Staff, at their resume post.

And also please remember to vote on our open applications:

Prefect Elections and Debate

Voting for Prefects closes at 11:59 p.m., Central Standard Time, tomorrow, January 11, 2006. This afternoon and evening we will be holding a sort of free-form debate and question and answer session for the candidates, especially those who are running in very close races. The debate will begin in approximately one hour. Please feel free to question the candidates on any issues or concerns you may have.

Debate!

The Rules

Candidates have the option of answering all, some or none of the questions posed to them. Voters then have the option of changing their votes based on the responses (or lack thereof).

Questions to the candidates should be posed here as comments, and may be directed to a specific candidate or to all the candidates, or to all the candidates in one house.

Members may change their votes. As the poll does not allow changes, vote changes should also be made here. If you wish them to be secret, please place a subject line of "Vote Change for Hat, Only" on your comment.

This hat will get the ball rolling, with the following:

Debate Questions

Resolved: Hogwarts should do away with the House system and everyone should be one big happy Hogwarts family. (You may choose to argue either side of this issue.)

Should we have a school mascot? If so, should it be the Squid, Barney, or someone else.

The Candidates

Just in case you have forgotten, the following have nominated themselves for Prefect:

Pantalaimon thought I should apply to this school, and he's usually right about things, so I thought I'd go ahead. (Pantalaimon's my daemon, by the way. Do they have daemons in this world?)

I must be mad to be doing this. I'm a busy duck and magic always seemed like a lot of nonsense.

( Still, my nephews are insisting and it'd help with that sorceress DeSpell. )
