FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 195S THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE okwom Students Do Research On Housing By SUE GARFIELD Sponsored by the city housing commission, a research survey is being conducted by Psychology 185 students to sample local opin- ion on the housing situation and problem areas in Ann Arbor. Results of the survey will be an- nounced at the end of the semes- ter. INTERVIEWING, under the su- pervision of Prof. Elizabeth M. Douvan, study director of the Sur- vey Research Center, began last week and will continue through next Friday. Among the questions asked students and residents is, "What do you think of the Ann Arbor housing situation?" The ques- tionnaire goes on with inquiries of education, income and fam- ily background. Approximately 50 volunteers, in- cluding townspeople and some students, are taking a random sample of the entire city. Every 30th household receives an ex- planatory letter before the inter- viewer arrives for the question period. NONE OF THE pollsters have advance information on income or any facts concerning the fami- lies to be interviewed. Students in the course, "Intro- duction to Survey Research," use methods applying to both psychol- ogy and sociology. According, to Prof. Douvan, letters have been mailed to 400 addresses and the response has been good thus far. She urges citizens of Ann Arbor and Ui- versity students to cooperate in this research survey to get an accurate random sample of the city. Interviewers are trained and sample questions drawn up before the actual interviews. The ques- tion period is followed by a coding' process in class and re-interviews are taken care of before a definite conclusion is reached. The 11 member class feels that taking the survey helps them gain experience in "learning by doing," according to Gretchen Ross, '54.
