"Students do not realize the magnitude of Farmers Fair." Smith expounded. "It ia a greater activity than mort cf them think it could be. That, of course, is w ell and pood, but scholastic work should not be sacrificed in order to put the fair across. When grades are sacrificed for activities then college spirit also ceases to exist. The ability to work together, the ability to take assignments from the fair board and carry them out to the letter, that is what such an activity as Farmers Fair should teach," Smith added.

FAVOR CHANGE IN LAW 16.595 BCllCVC Amendment, ShOUld BC MOdlflCd Or Repealed. i t'nim Tit Uarimuuih i Fourteen colleges throughout the east and middle west casting over 24, 0(H) voles, registered over whelming wet sentiment In the prohibitum poll Initials by the Harvard Crimson and conducted during the past week by the col lege papers of the several colleges. Over 15.000 titudcnt admitted that they drank as compared with 8.009 who asserted they did not. The students voting for repeal or rruxlification numbered 16.090. while 4.517 declared In favor of strict enforcement. Only 638 were satisfied with the present prohibition situation. Thirteen colleges. Amhersl. As sumption (in Worcester. Mass. i. Brown. Colgate, Oinrll. Dait- niouth. Harvard. Lafayette, Mich igan, Massachusetts lnsititute of Technology, Pittsburgh, Princeon and Purdue voted disinctly wet. while one college, the University of Pennsylvania, registered a dry vote. Eleven colleges tall except Dart mouth, Lafayette, Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania! voted on the extent of dninkenest as distinguished from temperate drinking. Ot t total poll of 16.873 votes in these eleven colleges, 4.781 stu dents admitted that they get drunk. Princeton Wet. Princeton polled the wettest votes of the fourteen colleges with 70.1 percent admitting drinking. Princeton and Harvard were also the only colleges in the whole poll in which the number of student drinkers who confessed getting drunk outnumbered those who did not get drunk. Michigan, where the largest vote was polled, had a percentage of drinkers of 67.5. One interesting fact revealed by the poll w'as in the reasons non drinkers are non-drinkers. Of 6.806 non-drinkers students less than 000 were teetotalers on account of le gal restriction, less than 600 on ac count of their families wishes. Over 5.700 or 84.2 percent of those answering this question re frained from drinking on account of their "personal tastes." The comparative percentages of drink ers on the colleges listed in the I polls follows: Princeton 79, Am-i herst 73. Assumption 73. Cornell J bs.u, .Micnigan tw.D, oi., Brown 60.8. Pittsburgh 60, Purdue 58.8, Pennsylvania 42.6. Dartmouth Results. The results of the college wide prohibition ballot bave been com pletely tabulated. They show that, although the majority of the stu dents did not drink before coming to college, drinkers are in the ma jority among undergraduates. A large majority are in favor of either the repeal of the eighteenth amendment or the modification of the Volstead Act. The results are as follows.

In addition he writes the inscriptions and determines the symbolism of the whole. His extensive knowledge of the American Indian mythology and bis acquaintance with the theoreti cal and practical sides of the arts makes his assistance of great value. Notable examples of Doctor Al exander's work in this line are the state capitol, the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance building in Pbila de':hia. the law building at Cor nell college, Ithica. N.

Drinking presents a problem on the Washington campus, both among the men and the other sex as well. The personal opinion of the "peer of the Washington Daily as drawn from observation is that since the advent of prohibition the result has been "more drink ing and worse liquor."
