Graduate and undergraduate students will vote today to decide the opinion of the University on the subject of universal military training. The polls for the CRIMSON straw ballot will be open at Memorial Hall from 8.30 to 10, from 12 to 2, and from 5.30 to 6 o'clock; and at the Union and the CRIMSON building continuously from 8.30 to 6. The wording of the question printed on the ballots is "Do you favor some form of universal military training in the United States?"
The result of the ballotting will be announced on the CRIMSON bulletin board this evening and the figures will be telegraphed to the University delegates, C. A. Coolidge '17, and G. B. Blaine '17, in Washington, who will report on the outcome to the Senate sub-committee tomorrow.
Antis Make Plea at Washington.
Dispatches from Washington consisting of transcripts of testimony given by Anti-National Defense representatives from various colleges indicate the activities of those opposed to universal training. Undergraduates from the University, Yale, Columbia, and Amherst, were among those who testified. While the majority of these speakers including B. D. Allinson '17, president of the International Polity Club, stated that they were not representing the sentiment of the majority in the colleges from which they came, the fact that the only testimony given by college men was opposed to universal training tended to place those colleges on record as so opposed. Allinson is quoted as saying that he thought the general opinion of the student body in the University was "that the voluntary system has not failed, and that compulsion ought not to be resorted to until it has been definitely proved that the government can get the soldiers which it needs in no other way."
