Mr. and Ms. Law School

Back on September 26, they had the election of Mr. and Ms. Law School. This is a pretty big deal at the university. Students pack the auditorium. They have a variety of rounds such as a question-answer session, dance competition, and even a swimsuit competition. Some faculty members serve as the judges. There is also lots of entertainment between contests such as guitarists, a stand-up comic named Poncho, and one faculty member played the marimba. Unfortunately, this competition lasts for several hours and I was getting a little tired, so I went home before finding out who won. The next night, they had the election of Ms. Medical School (there is no Mr. Medicine). All of the schools/departments each elect a Ms. (and sometimes a Mr.) and then there is some university-wide competition for the Mr. and Ms. UNAN-Leon. I guess this is vaguely like Homecoming King and Queen at UNC. But not really.

One additional clarification: Yes, Mr. Law School candidates do the swimsuit competition too.
