Training Preferred
ADDroximatelv three-fourths of a total of 1576 stu
dents used as guinea pigs for a poll taken during second
semester registration here at the University favor univer
sal military training.
The poll was taken for the purpose of informing the
public and the Nebraska congressmen as to how studenta
in this region feel about UMT. Nearly all of the students
are in the age group involved m
selective service and any UMT
program that might be adopted.
Although they are not in the
voting age group, their opinions,
according to Robert Raun, presi
dent of the Student Council,
should be given "serious con
sideration." Most of those in favor of UMT
want a training period or 12-21
months after completion of high
school or upon reaching the age
of 18. A total of 77 per cent are
fn favor of the issue, men tak
ing a 79 per cent preference
over the women's 73.
Length of training period
threw a different light on the
statistics. Men favor the three
month period with a weak 3 per
cent, while the women come up
with 5 per cent. The overall total
for this category was 3 per cent.
Eight per cent favored the six
months training period. The
women came to the front a little
more with their 16 per cent bid,
the men trailed with a meager
5 per cent.
The 12 months period showed
the most favor, by both men and
women. Their percentages were
46 and 63, respectively. The re
sult, in combination was 50
per cent.
A training period of 21 months
came in with a close second,
getting a 37 per cent preference
bid. The women disagreed, with
their 13 per cent, while the men
fell one mark below their 12
month high. One per cent stated
no preference. Two per cent
more women than men, however,
did not wish to express an
opinion on the matter.
78 Percent Want Early Training:
A total of 78 per cent favored
the idea that the time of training
should be after high school or
at 18. The men scored an 83
here, the women, a 74. Anytime
between the ages of 17 and 20
H
came out with a rating oi
Der cent. The women ranked
hich here with a 25 per cent,
The men's status fell to 16 per
cent. Five per cent gave no
preference on the issue. At this
point the men and women
agreed, each with a 1 per cent.
Of the 1567 students polled,
1,155 were men and 412 were
women.
This project was undertaken
as a result of action taken at the
Annual Convention of the Big
Seven Association of Student
Governments held in Norman,
Okl., last Dec. 8 and 9. All of the
schools in the Big Seven are
taking similar polls and the re
sults for the entire conference
will be released by the associa
tion chairman at the University
of Colorado in the near future.
