didhnot let Fleming's absence
bother her, however.
"I wanted to look at the
house," she said. "It's so well
decorated!"
INDEED, elegance showed in
everything from the plush, tur-
quoise carpeting to the gold-let-
tered cocktail napkins. Students
found themselves wandering
about the dining room, living
room, library and study, mar-
veling at the Fleming's furnish-
ings.
"I like the flowers they have
and their books," commented
Residential College freshwoman
Polly Prelinger.

Ms. Fleming of the precaution-
ary measure.
Vice Presidents Rhodes and
Johnson, sharing two hours of
trivialities with the visiting stu-
dents, enjoyed themselves im-
mensely.
"I had a great time," said
Rhodes. "What a lovely way to
spend two hours."
ONE woman even presented
Johnson with a fresh-pink car-
nation.
"I'm going to take it homet
to my wife," he said.
"We try to entertain the stu-
dents each fall and spring if we
can handle it,"'said Ms. Flem-
ing. "In previous years, there
was no interest in coming to the
house, but students voiced a de-
sire this year."
Also enjoying himself was
LSA freshperson David Schreir.
"It's cheaper than paying for
dinner," he said of the refresh-
ment table.

By DAVID GARFINKEL
A recent "quality of life" survey,
which ranked Ann Arbor the tenth best
mid-sized American city, has sparked
a flurry of criticism from a local ob-
server who claims the study was a
sham.
"It's quick and dirty, and it's ridicu-
lous," stormed University Professor
Milan Dluhy when questioned about the
study.
DLUHY,5 assistant professor in the
School of Social Work, chided the re-
searchers for their superficial rankings
of cities, claiming that the study, be-
cause of the national media coverage it
received, put the reputation of all so-
cial sciences in serious jeopardy.
The survey, conducted by Midwest
Research Institute (MRIf) of Kansas
City, Mo., examined the quality of life
in 83 mid-sized cities with emphasis
on economic, environmental, political,
social, educational and health factors.
"People will be suspicious of social
science data," as a result of the study,

Dluhy said yesterday. He termed the
publicity surrounding the release of
the study "a big setback" to the entire.
field of social indicators.
S O C I A L indicators, according to
Dluhy, are a series of statistics that
measure the concept of "well being"
for a society. It was an injustice to the
field to rank cities as the MRI did,
said Dluhy, who called the institute's
method of compiling data for the sur-
vey "sloppy."
According to Dluhy, the MRI demon-
strated a lack of knowledge concerning
which data to use and how to handle it.
Dluhy suggested that a quality of
life survey could theoretically be done
properly, but not with the scant $50,000
in funds which were provided by the
Environmental Protection Agency.
DLUHY, who has been working with
social indicators since their introduc-
tion as a social research tool in 1968,
said he had never before heard of
MRI.
"It's someplace out in the middle of

nowhere whose livelihood depends on
contracts," he said. "They didn't have
the resources to carry it (the study)
out correctly."
Dluhy also slammed the study for its
uselessness, pointing out that the re-
sults were based on 1970 statistics, and
that the study's "one-shot deal" dharac-
teristic reduces its utility to zero.
SOCIAL indicators are only useful
when they are up-to-date and collected
in an ongoing fashion so they can aid
cities with their immediate problems,
he said.
"It's just another waste of federal
money," complained Dluhy.
In response to Dluhy's criticisms,
Mary Kies, assistant in the preparation
of the study for MRI, said the institute
was "pretty satisfied" with the results.
"The ranking of cities was more for
the general public, who wanted to know
how their cities did," said Kies. "We
followed the procedure the EPA want-
ed. We are very proud of the study,
ourselves."
