An informal preliminary to the CRIMSON's intended poll of University sentiment on the prohibition question ended yesterday in an overwhelming victory for the drys. There recently has been a rumor that those in charge of keeping clean the Business School dormitories were in the habit of collecting hundreds of bottles which found their way to the basement after being emptied of their alcoholic content, and that these bottles, on being resold to wet representatives, became a vitreous bonanza for the collectors, who netted tidy for tunes.

The rumor proved unfounded. A CRIMSON representative, patrolling the well-kept subterranean corridors of Morris and Hamilton halls was informed by a janitor of three years experience on the south side of the river that the Business School students are the cleanest bunch of college men he has known. Acquainted with the bottle rumor he added, "Come and I'll show you all we've picked up in that line over the past weekend." The display consisted of four ginger ale and three whisky bottles.

In Hamilton Hall the janitor displayed "A four weeks' killing." Among some forty ginger ale bottles were only six Scotch flasks and two square gin containers. Everything cleaned up in the mens' rooms comes down to us," added the exhibitor. "At a half a cent a bottle we don't make a a great deal."
