100 Dead Mice
Sent Museum
In Condon Hall
Dead mice lined up on a tray,
100 strong, will be sent to the
natural museum in Condon hall,
with the compliments of the
zoology department.
Although at one time the ar
my was larger, the ranks have
gradually been diminished by
zoology students, who have been
dissecting them in class-room
experiments.
The mice were all local resi
dents, having been caught and
stuffed on the campus.
Champion Typist to

typewriting subjects.
Miss Phelan is sponsored on her
trips by the Underwood Elliott Fish
er company, and locally by the Ste
vens & Groshong Typewriter com
pany, located at 942 Oak street, in

PATRONIZE THEM
War, Boycott, Drill Sunk
In Adverse Student Vote
First returns on a national survey of student opinion on peace,
being sponsored by the Brown Daily Herald and the United Student
Peace committee, showed that American college students don't approve
*of a consumer’s boycott against Japan, compulsory ROTC, collective
security, or participation in a foreign war.
The poll was participated in by 28 colleges in-18 states and recorded
votes of 9,858 students.
On Question 1, regarding Am
erican policy in the Far East, 51.1
per cent of those voting favored
withdrawal of American forces
in China, and 41.8 per cent urged
innervation of the neutrality act.
Only 30 per cent favored coopera
tion with Great Britain, France and
Russia, in applying economic sanc
tions against Japan, and but 16.2
per cent declared in favor of a
unilateral declaration by the Uni
ted States branding1 Japan an ag
gressor and cutting off relations
with her. Only 22.7 per cent fa
vored a consumers’ boycott against
Japanese goods sold in this coun
try. 9.8 per cent urged repeal of
the Oriental Exclusion Act.
ROTC Voted Down
Question 2, regarding ROTC in
schools and colleges, indicates an
overwhelming sentiment against
compulsory drill in any institution
of learning except purely military
schools. 23 per cent voted for com
plete abolition of the ROTC, while
54.1 per cent favored a more mod
erate program, permitting optional
drill for those desiring it. 17.2 per
cent desired compulsory drill in
state owned schools and colleges.
Question 3 concerned a perma
nent policy for keeping America at
peace, and here, collective action
took an even greater defeat, 21.6
per cent voting for application of
economic sanctions by the United
States along with other powers,
while only 17.5 per cent favored
American participation in military
sanctions against an aggressor na
tion. 39.2 per cent favored a policy
of unqualified neutrality in all for
eign wars, while 25.7 per cent
urged American entrance into a
revised League of Nations, with
provisions for peaceful change and
revision of treaties strengthened.
15.3 per cent voted for complete
isolation of this country from the
rest of the world. That students
have little interest in the Spanish
crisis was demonstrated when only
7 per cent urged withdrawal of
American neutrality in Spain, in
favor of aid to the Loyalist gov
ernment, and but 2.5 per cent urged
the same action, in favor of aid
to the Rebel forces.
Defense Guaranteed

called Oxford Oath, 14.6 per cent
