The difference between rand and urban students
in the Collets of Agriculture was the topic discussed
st this semester's first Chowder East mectingThurs
dey at the East Union.
About 40 City and East campus faculty attended
a presentation given by Richard Waldren, associate
, professor of agronomy.
Waldren said a survey and a questionnaire was
distributed to students in a number of 100- to 400
lsvel classes in the agriculture college. About 717 cf
, the 1,783 enrolled in the college last year answered
the questionnaire. The survey included questions
about the advantages andor disadvantages that
rural and urban studetns might haw in their
. respective fields.
"The idea for such a survey arose from concern
with the ability of urban students to cope with the
problems in the field of agriculture," Waldren said.
We felt they might have a decided advantage riot
coming from a farm."
Responses from the survey were analyzed, com-

Waldren said one cf the primary questions cn the
questionnaire asked students whether they needed .
a more agriculture!'' related Lac ground for an
cgriculture class in which they had been enrolled.
Waldren said the results surprised him.
"There was no real dlHerence bcUvcen the urban
and rural students' rcrrsass to that question," he
said. Urban students felt they didnt have any more
trouble than the rural students."
Of the students surveyed, G3.3 percent lived on a
farm or ranch when not in school Cf the remaining
31.7 percent who did not live on a tarn or ranch,
12.3 percent had no farm experience, 6.3 per cent
had lto2 years of experience, 3.9 percent had 3 to 5
. years of experience, and 0.2 percent had more than
years of farm experience.
Waldren said that even though some students
may never have lived on a farm, the usually are
familiar with one or tw o crops or one or two pieces of
I arm machinery.
He said there were no significant differences
between groups in the certainty of career goals or in
the number of times they changed career goals
before graduation. '
"Rural students were more likely to have produc
tion agriculture as a career coal," he said. "Students
with little or no farm experience were more likely to
enter sales, research or a government agency. Etu-
dent with no farm experience were more likely to
major in horticulture or natural resources."
Waldren stressed the importance of rural and
urban student interaction in class.
"I wouldn't put rural students in one class and
urban students in another," he said. "This survey
shows us that urban students are cn the same level
with rural students in terms of precession."
Waldren said it is important to deal with the
rurally based students who come into class ahidhrj
ordy by the "ag-rcdes" taught to them on the farm.
"We've got to show them that there axe other ways
cf doins thir.3," he said.
