Student Council campaign speeches will take place in the Hyde Chapel on Wednesday, April 16 from 8.30 to 9.50. The order of the speeches will be the reverse of the nomination process with the Secretary - Treasurer candidates going first and the Presidential candidates going last.
The 2008 MUS Spring Formal will be held on Saturday, May 10. The location this year is the National Ornamental Metal Museum, right on the Mississippi River in Downtown Memphis. Maps to the dance can be found on the school website with other dance information. The band this year is Elmo and the Shades, please check out their website with audio samples and a song list:

Tickets are on sale in the business office at a price of $40 per couple. No sales at the dance so buy your tickets early.
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.

Commissioner of Student Welfare - Adam Gordon
Keeper of the Lost - Dispenser of the Found
Don't be a Yaa-whoo and leave your lost books, coats and other personal items in the Lost and Found forever. In fact, I won't let you use the lost and found as your personal storage facility away from home. Each week we will post the names found in books and on other items so that owners can claim their goodies.
How do you claim your lost items? Come to the Lost and Found during the times posted on this site or see Coach Cady in his office for a key.
At least once per quarter, we will clean out the identifiable items by having Saturday School drones deliver the goods to student lockers. So for all you guys who are so terribly co-dependent upon someone else that you simply cannot keep your act together, just wait around a while and your stuff will show back up.
With tough love, Adam
Your 2007-08 Student Council is technologically hip. We are bloggers and proud of it. See the various commissioners pages for details on certain programs that they manage and look for announcements about upcoming events.
We will give you opportunities to give us feedback and suggestions on various issues throughout the year. So, here's to blogging - Go Owls!
