Student Council Officers Take the Lead
The 2008-09 Student Council Officers opened the school year ready to serve. Taking the second Friday Chapel of the year (August 22), the officers introduced themselves and announced plans for the upcoming year. One of the first activities was the renewal of Student Forums, held by the President and other officers to give the student body a voice in school matters. The forum was held in the Wunderlich Auditorium on Thursday, 8/28 during the second half of senior high lunch. Many students attended and issues were addressed.
Another effort of the council was the restoration of the tradition of the Victory Dance, a sort of back to school dance held after the first home football game of the season. The dance will be held in the Campus Center Ballroom on Friday, August 29 from 9.15 to 11.30. Elmo and the Shades will rock the house with their combination of soul and rock. Tickets are $10 at the door.

Election Time Has Arrived
Election week is upon us. One of the most enduring traditions of MUS is the annual process of electing student leaders for the upcoming year. As the torch of leadership is passed, important decisions are made by the student body regarding who will lead the school when things start back up in the fall. A hallmark of MUS is the freedom granted to the students by the administration and the expectation that the students will lead.
A three week Leadership Seminar was held earlier this spring to help prepare students for the responsibilities of holding office and other prominent positions in the school. The convening of the Red and Blue conventions on Wednesday, April 9 will mark the beginning of the campaign. The following Tuesday, Blue and Red party skits will be held from 10.15 to 10.45 and the next day speeches will be given during chapel by all candidates. Election day is Thursday, April 17, a day of voting and feasting at the annual street party thrown by the candidates.
Please visit the U Book for details about the entire process (71 to 78 contain the Constitution of the Council). MUS is proud of its tradition of exposing our students to the democratic process that makes our country so strong and so unique.
