(') - In a ish lodge in the shadow of the and Teton Mountains, the iters, porters, busboys and cabin aids don bermuda shorts after urs and mingle with the pay- g customers. By JEAN SPENCER The work carried on by the Survey Research Center during 1958-59 represents a continuation' of programmed research in estab- lished areas, Prof. Warren Miller, assistant program director of the Survey Research Center, said. "The Survey Research Center has a major investment in the study of political behavior. It be- lieves that the political beliefs and acts of the American electorate merit much greater attention than they have received." This statement, from a bookletj describing the projects of the In- stitute for Social Research of which the SRC is one department, forms the basis for an interesting program of research. Cites Continuation This program, Prof. Miller ex- plained, is the continuation of an attempt to describe and document the nature of national elections. The Survey Research Center has analyzed every national election since 1948 with the exception of 1950, he continued, and this makes the researchers able to give a somewhat unique description of these elections in terms of the attitudinal basis for voting deci- sions. Besides describing each indi- vidual election, he went on, the SRC can take the series under ob- servation in order to develop an idea of the trends appearing. The SRC's interest in political elections seeks to understand what lies behind political decisions, Prof. Miller said, investigating social and economic factors as well as the obvious political ones which precede such decisions. Names Goal "One of our goals is to delineate the conditions under which policy agreement between representatives and represented is minimized and maximized," Prof. Miller com- mented, speaking of the theme of the 1958 election study. Policy agreement was measured, he add- ed, by a correlation between the candidates' policy positions and the policy positions of their con- stituents. The Survey Research Center makes the results of its programs available to other scholars and researchers, Prof. Miller said. Other areas in which the Survey Research Center is working are economic behavior, organizational behavior and human relations, public communication and influ- ence, mental health, and research on survey methodology. Researchers To Analyze Pay Methods The Survey Research Center is initiating a study of the methods parents use to pay for their chil- dren's college educations. Prof. John B. Lansing, the cen- ter's program director, will be in charge of the study which is re- ceiving financial support from a $40,000 grant from the United States Office of Education. The study is part of the coop- erative research program spon- sored by the Office of Education with $2.7 million in federal funds.

On their time off they use any facility open to guests at Jackson Bole Lodge, focal point of the Grand Teton National Park on the Wyoming-Idaho border. The collegians sometimes date guests and occasionally a lasting romance 'buds. The informality of it all de- lights most of the park visitors. The ,work output among these col- lege students might shock an effi- ciency expert and would fall far short of production records.

There are more than 400 stu- dents in Grand Teton Park and an even greater number at Yel- lowstone National Park a few miles to the north.

A bellhop re- ceives $156 a month of which $85 is deducted for room and board. But tips boost the earnings by an- other $5-$15 a day. A kitchen helper with no chance for tips receives $214.50 less board and room. Lewis Hicks of Wise, N. C., a 21-year-old student at the Uni- versity of North Carolina, works in the non-profit lodge company's purchasing office. "Most of the kids come out for fun and money," he says. "Usually they are sold by kids who have been here before and always ex- aggerate what they made. The fun is right but you don't get rich." Dave Lorimer, 19, a student at Menlo College in California from Sonora, Calif., recommends sum- mer park employment for those who have been away from home before. Can't Take Supervision He adds: "What I mean is so many kids drop out before the season is over because they can't take supervision and are upset when they find they really have to work. 've enjoyed my summer in the Tetons (he works in the laundry) because I didn't have any illusions about being able to goof off all the time." Bouncy Ritva Pykalinen, 19, and a student at Brigham Young Uni- versity at Provo, Utah, works in the lodge fountain and is a sort of mascot to the guests. Ritva was born in France and has lived in Sweden and Finland. Dick Erb, assistant manager and personnel director for the lodge company, was a student worker six summers ago. And Erb will not make jokes about the summer ro- mances among the college stu- dents. He met and married his wife at Grand Teton National Park. Death Takes 'U' Professor After Illness Prof. Emeritus William C. Smea- ton, of the chemistry department, died Aug. 22 in Columbia, Mo. Prof. 'Smeaton retired from his University position in 1942, and had been ill for several years. Funeral services were held Aug. 29 in Picton, Ontario, where Prof. Smeaton was born Sept. 8, 1874. He became an instructor at the University in 1902 after receiving his bachelor's degree from the University of Toronto. Prof. Smeaton received his first promotion in 1910, assuming the post of assistant professor. Pro- motion to associate professor fol- lowed in 1916 and he became a .full professor in 1924. A resolution adopted by the Re- gents at his retirement says, in part, that Prof. Smeaton has "ably and loyally contributed to the suc- cessful accomplishment of the campus team ii two and three-piece ensembles for fall, holiday and cruise wear. .skirt-blouse-sweater sets in shelonds, wool mohair, velvet, silks, Jersey, linens and other fabric favorites. from 25.00 to 55.00 sizes 8to 18. informally modeled for' youfrom 10 a.m. to 4 p.m t"7-wlal b 1 ILM in perfect harmonywith each other, our dyed-to. match separates team up" for the kick-off to fall's exciting action...75% lambswool-25% angora sweaters above solid or shadow plaid wool skirts and slacks. color-cued in jamaica brown, gold dust, maliblu, beauty N: p A ________________________________.w.4l, WWI'-tt " :.< a.
