FAMLY G ROU P i Oioqk I , Prohibition Voting With colleges all over the country taking votes among the student bodies and among the faculties, it is rather interesting to note the results obtain- ed among the various schools. Prac- tically all the majorities are in favor of a modification of the law, which speaks of only one thing, and that is that there exists a dissatisfaction in reference to the law. What the conse- quences of this voting will be is o: course of a great source of specula-I tion. Faculty ballots received recently by The Yale News referendum on the Eighteenth Amendment however speak of another view. It was found that 86 voted for enforcement of the: law, 83 for modification, and 48 foi repeal. In this instance the majority favoring prohibition as it now stands is a small one, but nevertheless it is a majority and as such presents anI added thought or two. It seems to up. hold the old way of thinking that the older one becomes the more conserv- ative he becomes, and also that youth is still the youth of years ago. continually rebelling against the ex- isting order without any truly Aigni- ficant reason or reasons. But then that too is a matter of meaningless speculaticr. General Dawes' Work Since the committee headed by Gen- eral Dawes has been working with some noticeable degree of interest on the question of attempting to put Ger- many again on her feet, there has do- veloped among the different natiom of the world an attitude that bespeaks of greater sympathy and understand- ing. The jealous and greedy feelings and emotions of those on top have be- come somewhat subdued; they have become slightly appeased by the turn in the interest of other nations to- ward the future of Germany. This is undoubtedly a good thing, and speakEI well for the work that Dawes and his associates are striving to carry out Being able to show one's strength by dominating over the under dog is o credit to no individual or to no na-i tion.
