In the contests in which there is a strong, outspoken can­ didate running against someone whose views are not widely known, try to judge the competence of the lesser known guy before arbitrarily opposing the stronger personal ity. We do not feel that a person who has held a position this past year which has forced him to reveal his weaknesses publicly should be turned down in favor of someone whose weaknesses you have not tried to discover. We do not feel it is responsible voting to cast a ballot pri­ marilyon the basis of a few guys in the lounge or in the alley saying without qual ification that they do net Iike a particular candidate or that they do like a particular candidate. In many such cases we have discovered that the person talking knows only one of the two candidates. We like to think that Caltech students are clever enough to real ize that the facts gathered from the statements, the speeches, and conversations with students who have met both candidates would be a more rational and responsible basis for voting. We hope you will take an interest in the campaigns and try to vote Wisely. -jt Rotation Decision The Interhouse committee will decide tonight whether to recommend an arbitrary assignment plan or the rqtation plan to the faculty Student House committee. We have sat in on all of the I HC's closed meetings on the rotation question and from our observations we feel it is fair to say that the decision reached tonight will be a carefully and reasonably thought-out result.
