First Day Of Balloting Shows
Non-Drinkers Favor Repeal
Or Modification Of Dry Law
Less Than Sixth Voting So Far
Indicate That They Use In
toxicants; Editor Urges Stu
dents To Participate In Poll
CLOSES WEDNESDAY NOON
Sentiment in regard to the
prohibition law on the campus
following the first day's ballot
ing favors either modification or
repeal of the 18th amendment
with a majority of those voting
the first day voting as total ab
stainers. The voting yesterday
was light; however, the Tar Heel
is expecting a heavier vote today
and tomorrow. The balloting
closes Wednesday afternoon.
All students are urged by Glenn
Holder, editor of the Tar Heel,
to vote.
In the balloting yesterday
less than a sixth of the voters
expressed themselves as being in
favor of enforcement of the pro
hibition laws. Despite the fact
that the non-drinkers numbered
more than half of the voters a
majority of those favored repeal
of the 18th amendment.
The repealers . and the non-
drinkers numbered exactly the
same, while practically all of
those voting as occasional drink
ers favored modification of the
laws. . v ' '. . .. . .'
Until Wednesday afternoon a
ballot box will be maintained in
the Y lobby for the voters. The
three questions are whether the
voter does not drink; drinks
occasionally or does not drink at
all ; while the voting on the 18th
amendment is the same as that
in the Literary Digest; i. e., en
forcement, modification or re
peal of the 18th amendment.
Ballots will be printed in today's
and tomorrow's issues of the
Tar Heel. '

MARYLAND HERE
Third Home Debate To Begin
In Gerrard Hall At 8:30
Tonight.
The third home debate of the
year will take place in Gerrard
hall tonight at 8 :30 when the
Carolina debaters meet the
forensic artists from the Uni
versity of Maryland on "Re
solved, That the nations of the
world should adopt some plan of
complete disarmament of all
forces, except those which ae
needed for police purposes.''
The local debaters, J. A. Wilkin
son and G. P. Carr, will uphold
the affirmative side of the -issue
In accordance with the method
which has been used here for two
years, the decision will be ren
dered by vote of the audience.
All those present will be asked
to vote both before and after the
debate, the team changing the
more people from one side to
the other being declared the
winner.
The question of disarmament
is an important one in national
and international affairs at the
present time, and one which has
been debated very extensively of
late. Practically every college
and university in the United
States has participated in one
or more intercollegiate debate on
some phase of the disarmament
controversy; ' The debate to
night promises to be one which
will be very edifying to all who
attend. The Carolina debaters
are both experienced men. The
Maryland outfit is reported to
be exceptionally strong. In con
sideration of the wide range of
appeal which the disarmament
question has, it expected to
draw an audience not only from
the student body but from the
ranks of the faculty and towns
people as well."

nounces Inauguration of
New Ticket System.
In keeping with its usual pol
icy in the past, the Order of the
Grail will give three dances dur
ing the spring quarter. The
dates for these entertainments
have been set for April 12 April
26, and May 17. Since several
other organizations are enter
taining on these same week
ends, it appears that the spring
quarter will again' be the out
standing social season of the
academic . year.
"Red"1 Greene, treasurer of
the Grail, has announced that a
new system of selling tickets will
be inaugurated on the occasion
of the first of this series. A desk
for ticket sales will be placed in
the lobby of the "Y" on the Fri
day preceding the dances. Tick
ets may be purchased there any
time during the day. This sys
tem will do away with the un
pleasant necessity of standing in
line for tickets at the rear of
the gymnasium before every
dance. ,
