IENTIFIC SAMPLING:
'U' Survey Polls Still Deemed Accurate
By ROMA LIPSKY
While public opinion polls in
eneral are under question, the
niversity's Survey Research Cen-
r has retained its wide reputa-
on for scientific sampling meth-
Is and accurate results.
The names of people to be
iestioned, sent to interviewers all
rer the country, have been se-
cted at random, but behind the
nal selection is a complicated and
xacting statistical process.
* * *g
BEFORE beginning any survey,
the Center's Sampling Section
must decide what primary areas to
sample. These usually include the
nation's twelve largest cities and
other representative areas.
Then, by random jabs at a
table of scrambled numbers,
these areas are broken down
into representative city, town
and country sections, and finally
into blocks and specific houses.
During each successive step, the
choice of where to interview. is
made completely by chance.

THE TABLE of scrambled num-
bers used to make selections has
been specially compiled by a com-
petent statistician, so that each
number or set of numbers, and
ultimately each person, has ex-
actly the same chance of being
chosen.
When the final choice of per-
sons to be interviewed has been
made, the sample consists of
as accurate a cross section of
the United States as is scientifi-
cally possible.
The basic difference between
this method and the quota sam-
pling used by Gallup and Roper
is the method of selection.
* * *
"IN THE QUOTA system, the
interviewer picks the people to be
questioned so the element of hu-
man bias influences the survey,"
Roe Goodman, of the Sampling
Section of the Survey Research
Center said.
"Roper and Gallup are aware of
these errors, and they adjust their
figures accordingly," he added.
In the random method used at
the Research Center, however, no
adjustment of figures is made. The
results are compiled and pub-.
lished just as they are received
from the interviewers.

He said no one ever subjected to
the "cure" came back to his ju-
venile court.
The Boston juvenile court judge
told a Boston Globe reporter that
the offenders were placed in cus-
tody of their parents who co-op-
erated in imposing the treatment.
"I am very happy," Judge Con-
nelly said, "that not one of those
boys has been in any kind of
trouble in the year since.
"It cured them of what we ex-
plained to them was stupid, un-
thinking mischief that only babies
can be allowed to commit."
The boys were convicted of de-
stroying school property.
