POLL SHOWS STUDENTS FAVOR FEDERAL POWER

Voters Reverse Former Opinions by Favoring New Deal Plans for More Centralization

Two weeks ago the student body rejected a proposal to amend the Constitution to give the Federal government increased power; but in this week's question, over three-quarters of the 951 votes cast went in favor of the New Deal principle of increased concentration at Washington.

This week there were only 157 state-power advocates, while 59 voters desired a medium course.
