For future House secretaries of Karakoram

I don't think this is an appropriate forum for what is to follow but I have been reading a blog on IIT politics. besides I think the broad guidelines remain true for most public offices in essence.

I hope Tejram is reading this because criticism is often more useful for self improvement than any praise. I think a house secretary has two duties. First, to lead the hostel in the quest of trophies. This work is more in the lines of planning and pushing people than working oneself and as such does not require any special talents. I hope future house secretaries would not neglect this duty of theirs coz it is winning trophies that ultimately earns respect for the hostel apart from the good conduct of its residents. The second duty is of managing the institute elections and I dont think I am equiped to comment on that. However a point about selection of candidates at the hostel level. I think candidates should be selected on the basis of his commitment to the hostel cause, hostel's performance in the concerned activity and the candidate's role in it, and finally the overall suitability of the candidate for the post. Finally a House secreatry is the leader of the house and not only of the faction which supported him in the lections. All are his and he is everybody's. Bias should be especially avoided.
