Survey Shows Student Is Morally Strict, Leaves State
By Julie Morris
Senior Writer
An attitude and behavior
survey of 300 University stu-'
dents shows that the average
student in the group is mor
ally strict, drinks alcoholic
beverages and plans to leave
the state after graduation.
The study was made by an
undergraduate class in soci
ology under the direction of
Clyde Nunn, assistant profes
sor of sociology. Nunn said the
results of the study could be
considered "very representa
tive" of the University student
body as a whole because of
the cross-section of students
who answered the question
naires prepared for the study.
The questionnaires were
given to students in introduc
tory sociology courses last se
mester. Nunn said that for the
students involved, the distri
bution of major fields was
"comprehensive" and that the
proportion of freshmen, soph
omores, juniors and seniors
who took the test matched al
most exactly the proportion of
these classes on the city cam
pus. The only unequal factor
was that there were more wo
men than men who answered
the questionnaires, while in
the entire student body men
outnumber women, Nunn
said.
While it cannot be said that
the reactions of the students
questioned would be the re-, ,
action of every single Univer-1
sity student, Nunn said, the
study is representative of the 's
typical student.
The study covered several
different areas including mor
al attitudes, drinking habits,
plans to leave the state and
general tolerance toward Ne
groes. The moral values were
measured by a scale of seven
teen statements representing
a number of situations to be
evaluated by the student in
terms of "rightness" and
"wrongness."
The students responses on
the moral value statements
tended to be "moderately to
extremely severe" showing
that the students' felt most of
the statements to be moder
ately to severly wrong indi
cating strict moral attitudes.
' The statements asked in
cluded areas of personal and
public morality such as: "A
nation at war using poison gas
on the homes and cities of its
enemy behind the lines" and
"A man deserting a girl he
has gotten into trouble with
out himself taking responsi
bility." The study also showed that
women tended to be more
morally strict than men, es
pecially in the area of reli
gious morality, Nunn noted.
The drinking habit survey
asked students to identify
their parents' drinking habits
and their own. The results
showed that a student would
be more apt to drink if both
or one of his parents did than
he would if neither parent
drank.
Nunn said the statistics
' would indicate that the drink
ing habit is learned "some
where else than at college."
He noted that of the 287 stu
dents who answered the ques
tions on drinking, 76 per cent
were drinkers while 24 per
cent were non-drinkers.
The study's results also
showed that 42 per cent of
the approximately 275 resi
dent Nebraskans who com
pleted the questionnaires plan
to leave the state after grad
uation. While 17 per cent said they
plan to live in the state, 33
per cent answered that they
did not care whether they
lived in the state or not. Six
per cent of the students an
swering said they had not
given the matter thought.
The report concludes "whila
these data appear to indicate
that Nebraska graduates are
leaving the state, this fact be
comes even more dramatic
when data on difference by
year in school are considered.

The study comes as a re

1889.
Honoraries Start
In 1905, the Innocents Socie

selected their first members.
Ivy and Daisy chains began
in 1910. The chains are car
ried by women making out
standing contributions to
their living units.
The May Queen, selected by
a vote of the junior and sen
ior women, and her court
joined the ceremonies in 1912.
Court members are fresh

Another indoor proposed
project in the residence halls
involves holding classes in the
residence halls, rather than

is available and consider its
size and then we will decide
what to do with it," Scott
added.
Classes In Dormitories
He said that not only was
a report being prepared on
available space and projects,
but "we are looking for things
that can either hopefully be
done next fall or start work
on these things next fall."
Scott added that he thought
the residents of the dormi

deciding what type of recrea
