We give preliminary results from the first use of the University of Hawaii's new Imaging Vector Magnetograph (IVM) to search for linear polarization in the H-alpha spectral line during solar flares. Such polarization has previously been interpreted as impact polarization from 100 keV protons impacting the chromosphere. The new data set has several advantages over previous data. First, the field of view is substantially larger than that used by Metcalf et al., and, second, the temporal resolution (16 s) is a factor of two better than that previously obtained. We show a preliminary comparison between the flare Hα polarization and hard X-rays observed with the Compton Observatory.
