I find myself facing a dilemma regarding the ongoing nominations for Homecoming.

Is it ethical for an instructor to participate in the selections in a popularity contest like this? Does it show favoritism, can it complicate working relationships with cadets through bias? Obviously the issue would be bigger if I was campaigning. I'd have leverage to bribe with if I had any inclination toward popularity contests and a lack of morals to restrain me from that behavior, but I think there's still potential for trouble if I'm too interested in voting for a student.

I'm assuming the ethics issue, if there was one, wouldn't apply to the King and Queen nominations. With those categories, I simply have to face the fact that my vote remains undecided and begin my research. I wouldn't want to be caught shying away from school spirit entirely.

That's a good thing. But then I'm back to the real problem: no idea who to vote for.

Nominate the people you like, obviously.

Or the people you hate the least.

The second suggestion is duly noted. Thank you.

You're welcome!

Really, though, don't stress out about it so much. Homecoming is supposed to be fun. [This is a bit rich, coming from someone who treated it like a war when she was actually campaigning.]
