CRIMSON TO CONDUCT POLL ON PEACE PLAN

The Bok Peace Plan will be weighed in the balance by a ballot throughout the University under the auspices of the CRIMSON, beginning tomorrow morning and continuing until the following Wednesday night.

Ballot boxes will be placed at convenient centers in the various departments of the University. These polling places will be announced in tomorrow's CRIMSON. Every officer, faculty members, and student in the University is eligible to vote. There will be no poll-watchers, but blank ballots will be left beside the boxes. These ballots must be signed, and the signatures will be checked to prevent voters' repeating. It is requested that each signature be accompanied by the signer's class and department of the University.
