From the Secretary's Desk

Each year one-half of the ballots for officers are printed with one set of names at the top and on the other half the names are reversed.

This is on the theory that some may have a tendency to vote for the first name they come to.

This year, I was interested to find that one of the candidates for Vice-president got 51% of his total vote when his name appeared first on the list, while the other candidate got 56% of his total vote when his name appeared first on the list.

These figures are probably not too significant, but they are interesting enough so that we expect to keep on printing ballots each year in the usual form.
