LISTS OF ALL COLLEGES WILL GO TO PRESIDENT AS PETITION

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Final results from the Phillips Brooks House Peace Poll show that 515 of the 1070 students voting in the poll favored question two which pledged the signer to bear arms only in case America is attacked by a foreign power. Questions one and three received 229 and 326 votes respectively.

The list of balloters will be sent to the Intercollegiate Disarmament Council where they will be combined with similar lists from many colleges throughout the country. The whole will be presented to President Roosevelt in the form of a huge petition which will reflect the concensus of opinion of college men and women.

The questions on the petitions were as follows: 1. The signer will not bear arms in any war. 2. The signer will bear arms only in case America is attacked by a foreign power. 3. The signer will bear arms in any war in which America may become involved.

The following chairmen have conducted the poll in the various Houses: Adams, W. C. Loring '35; Brooks, M. J. Litwack '34; Dunster, R. L. Behrens '34; Eliot, V. H. Kramer '35; Kirkland, T. W. Farmer '35; Leverett, J. F. Farr '33; Lowell, D. S. Carmichael '35; Winthrop, H. E. Holm '34; R. W. Paul '36.

The final result of the poll by Houses is as follows:   No. 1  No. 2  No. 3 Adams  16  48  36 Brooks  24  41  19 Dunster  22  43  36 Eliot  20  36  49 Kirkland  26  42  14 Leverett  28  36  18 Lowell  31  49  35 Winthrop  10  17  29 Union  52  101  90   229  515  326
