    Describe what you think it means to be in the position you are running for.

    What qualifications do you have to hold the position you seek? Discuss

    What do you see as posing problems with your ability to fill your position? If
    elected, how do you plan to deal with these difficulties? (Include details.)

    What do you see as Mr. Coty’s role in the council? How will you help minimize
    the crazy amount of work he has to do for council?

    to the prestige of your predecessors?

    and January. The constitution states that any member on probation for two
    months shall be removed. What do you do?

    What would you do if you were very sure a council member had been
    disobeying the drug policy, but you didn’t have absolute proof and he/she
