In opinion survey
Collegians defend professors
from Dies committee charges
By Student Opinion Surveys.
AUSTIN, Texas. April 29 The
Dies committee has often pointed
a finger at colleges and universi
ties in various parts of the nation,
sometimes accusing faculty mem
bers for the spread of un-American
-"ism." Just how much such
propaganda is being spread thru
pedagogical methods will perhaps
never be accurately known.
But it is possible to measure at
least how many students think at
tempts are being made to influ
ence them. Student Opinion Sur
veys of America has taken the
question directly to the collegians
who some defenders of American
ism claim are being taught to be
lieve in the "wrong" doctrines:
"Have you ever felt that a
faculty member while teaching in
a class was attempting to influ
ence you in favor of nazism, fas
cism, communism, or socialism?"
The answers of a representative
sample of students taken the
country over were these:
No 79
Yes 18
Yes, but apparently not
purposely 3
(A very small number, about 2
percent, told surveys interviewers
they did not know. Their "no opin
ion" answers were not included in
the tabulations.)
Must Interpret Figures.
The above figures must be in
terpreted with reservations: The
students who answered were
typical American collegians, and
all classes of students were

until 1908 classes were held on
Ivy Day.
Louise Barr, now Mrs. Lewis R.
Anderson, was the initial May
Queen. Dressed in a white frock
and carrying a huge sheaf of scar
let and cream roses, she was
drawn in a poppy-covered jinrick
isha. Members of the Black
Masque in their caps and gowns
drew the unusual conveyance to
the May Pole. The jinrikisha was
genuine, donated by the late W. J.
Bryan who had received it on his
trip around the world.
Coming of World War I changed
the events on Ivy Day from their
usual gayety. A service flag, 15
feet square, bore 1.403 stars in
honor of the Nebraska boys who
answered the call to honor, and
this flag was dedicated by the
students on May 11, 1918. Edith
Yungblut (now Mrs. Paul T. Bab
son), the May Queen then, will be
present at the celebration this
year.
On Ivy Day, May 23. 1919. a
banner was presented which stood
for 91 men killed in action, one

represented, but each student's
own definition of the "isms" and
of what constitutes propagand;
In favor of those doctrines no
doubt conditioned each answer.
Just the same, these are the
answers they gave to the ques
tion, asked everywhere exactly
as worded.
Perhaps even more significant
than the mere figures above is the
fact that the poll makes possible
the location of the sections of the
country where students believe
this "teaching" of isms is more
prevalent. The eastern schools rep
resented in the survey show much
larger proportion answering in the
affirmative, while in the south and
especially the west only a few
students say they have detected
any attempts to influence them.
There is strong evidence, ac
cording to the records of previous
polls taken by Student Opinion
Surveys, to support the belief that
on eastern campuses there is
greater activity in this field than
anywhere else. One of the first
polls this organization ever con
ducted nearly three years ago
pointed out that eastern students
had felt a larger incidence of at
tempt to influence them on the
campus; that time the question
was not limited to the class room.
Again this year in February Stu
dent Opinion Surveys found the
loudest cry in that same section of
the country for contined study and
definition of the "isms" in their
college classes as a need for safe
guarding democracy with the
provision that in such courses
there should be "teaching, not
preaching."
and four men reported missing in
action. For the first and only time
a Lord of May dressed as a cava
lier, was announced. But men on
the campus didn't like the idea,
so it was abolished.
