The Inner Circle:

"Who are they? Where do they get their information? Who are they? Where do they get their know?"

This old song from popped into my head today as I have completed my first official meeting with the Student Council and peered into the extensive vault of knowledge that this past year's president passed to me. I was able to read the long awaited "Constitution" of the Student Council. My fears about it were comforted a little by it's straightforward nature.

As for the song, it popped in my head as I was reading some of the previous year's meeting minutes. This job is going to be tough! I can keep a secret, but if it involves a friend... I have a difficult time with that. It makes me wonder how many things, that are not written in the minutes , came to pass as an "under the table" sort of deal.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that anything shifty has gone down, but I am saying that in this political field... I gotta be hush hush, or I'm going to let people down. For example, let's say that my director of the Student Missions Fellowship was unable to continue with her job due to whatever reasons caused by dismissal or inability or whatever... say I suggest someone like Liz, who is ga-ga-for-Global and the council concurs, I can't say a blasted thing to her! Or maybe I can...

I'm still trying to figure out this whole Student Council thing.... it will surely be an interesting endeavor. If it makes a difference, I'm still scared out of my pants, but luckily I was wearing a belt... so the pants didn't go anywhere. Anywho, I'm in the library now, my tummy is full from a good meal with the past year's council and the council elect... Somehow I have to manage to get in my shelf reading....

*P.S.: For those who faithful follow my personal blog, I think I'm going to start one for the campus next year.... stay tuned for more information regarding "From the Office of the President.."*
