PROHIBITION POLL STARTS ON MONDAY

A definite attempt to discover the feeling of the colleges throughout the country on the drinking question will be made next Monday and Tuesday when a poll will be taken in at least 20 institutions. The results will be tabulated by the CRIMSON and simultaneously released to all colleges holding polls by Thursday of next week.

Voting at Harvard will be held at all the principal classroom buildings throughout the University both Monday and Tuesday. Other college papers which have already signified their interest in this attempt to learn the actual extent of the prohibition problem on American college campi are the Princetonian; the Michigan Daily, the Daily Illini, the Cornell Daily Sun, the Dartmouth, the Pittsburgh Weekly, the Brown Daily Herald, the Howard Crimson of Howard College, Birmingham, Alabama; the Red and Black of Washington and Jefferson College. Polls held by all these papers and at least half a dozen more which are expected to outline their plans within a day or so, will be collected by the CRIMSON and sent out as a simultaneous release for Thursday morning. It is expected that newspapers all over the country will be given the facts on the college polls at the same time.

The movement has gained added importance in view of the various conflicting evidence which has been presented before the House Judiciary Committee on the question of the extent of drinking at colleges during the last week or so. So widely have the views aired before this investigating commission differed that it has been felt by some that an actual knowledge of the facts would be a real help to both wet and dry advocates.
