Students vote 'no’
in •punishment’ poll
According to the results of the recent Social Science
Council poll, the majority of people at Pasadena City College
who signed the petitions are opposed to capital punishment.
The verdict out of a total of 637, was, for, 289 ; against, 348.
There were 422 men who
re¬
sponded to the poll. Of these 219
were for the continuance of capi¬
tal punishment and 203 were op¬
posed. Of the 215 female respon¬
dents, only 70 were for while 145
were against.
Several interesting facts were

pointed up by the poll. For exam¬
ple, almost twice as many men
as women signed up and, of the
women who did express an opin¬
ion, nearly 'twice as many were
opposed.
Of those who signed up, 46
wrote the reasons for their stand.
The single thought brought up
most often was that of capital
punishment acting as a deterrent
to crime. Ten thought it wasn’t;
nine thought it was.
Another group attacked the
problem from a moral and spirit¬
ual viewpoint. Five people
thought that morally and spirit¬
ually it was wrong. Four peo¬
ple took a completely opposite
stand.
Other reasons offered concern¬
ed such things as cost of main¬
taining prisoners, chance of an
•innocent person being executed,
and unfair enforcement of the
laws pertaining to capital crimes.

iversal vivisection of criminals.
