'CAMPBELL FINDS:
Student Voters Echo Parents' Views

<*I

By RONA FRIEDMAN
"New voters are not free think-
ers," commented Angus Campbell,
r Director of the Survey Research
Center, "and people who consider
them so are under a great misap-
prehension."
The distinguished-looking mid-
westerner who is also a professor
in the psychology and sociology
departments, leaned back in his
chair behind the huge desk which
dominates the small book lined of-
fice in the ISR Building.
"There is a great deal of in-
herited politics in this country,"
he asserted. "The main reason col-
lege students were in Eisenhower's
camp was because their parents
were. Statistically the chances are
three to one that students will fol-
low their parents political"views."
* * *
AS A PERSON'S income goes
up so does the likelihood that he
will be a Republican, he explained
and most college students come
from wealthier families.
The seemingly casual punc-
turing of peoples' pet beliefs by
the SRC Director, in reality, is
the result of intensive study of
the nation's voting habits and
attitudes during the last two
presidential elections through
surveys conducted by the Cen-
ter.
"The Voter Decides," a book
written by Prof. Campbell in col-
laboration with Gerald Gurwin
and Warren E. Miller who are
both study directors at the Cen-
ter, which will be released soon,
concerns the major factors which

1 influenced the voters' decision in
1952. The book was the result of
a two-year study under a grant
from the Carnegie Corporation of
New York.
"We would have liked to name
the book "How the Voter Decides"
but we thought is sounded too
much like the title of a cook book
-"How To Bake a Cake," Prof.
Campbell commented with a quiet
smile.
"The main forces operating be-
hind the voter's decision is the
person's attachment to his party,
his stand on controversial issues

Proposed Michigan-Louisiana
Pipeline Debated Before FPC

The construction of a proposed_
gas line, to run from Louisiana to
Michigan, was disputed yesterday
before the Federal Power Com-
mission in Washington.
American Louisiana Pipe Line
Co., a newly formed subsidiary of
American Natural Gas Co. (a hold-
ing company controlling the Mich-
igan Consolidated Gas Co.) is try-
ing to justify construction of the
line, which will cost $130,000,000.
IT MUST first prove to the FPC,
however, that there are sufficient
gas reserves kin Louisiana to sup-
ply the line. According to a high
official of Michigan Consolidated
Gas, the line is badly needed be-
cause of a lack of gas reserves in
this area. "We need more gas-as
it is we have to restrict the sale of
domestic gas in this area," com-
mented the official.
Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line
Co., now selling to Michigan
Consolidated, has intervened in
the proceedings, claiming that
the volume of gas available from
Texas wells is not as high as was
reported by American Louisiana.
The issue is complicated by the
existing arrangement. At present,
Panhandle sells their gas to Mich-
igan Consolidated for resale to
both industry and private homes.
Michigan Consolidated has prom-
ised to continue buying as much
gas, if not more, from Panhandle
if the proposed line is approved.
HOWEVER, according to Michi-

gan Consolidated officials, Pan-
handle prefers to sell its gas di-
rectly to industry on a wholesale
basis, rather than through Michi-
gan Consolidated, as the rates on
wholesale gas are not regulated.
Panhandle Gas has countered
this by contending, before the
FPC, that Michigan Consolidat-
ed has "been uncooperative in
negotiating with Panhandle for
additional gas supplies."
At the committee proceedings
yesterday, the FPC heard two in-
dependent consultants testify. Dr.
Alexander Wolf, former head of
the geophysical laboratories of the
Texas Gas Co., said that Ameri-
can Louisiana would be unable to
recover the amount of gas it prom-
ised, and another witness claimed
that American Louisiana had fail-
ed to "take into account operating
difficulties."
Faculty Members
Attend Meetings
Thirteen faculty members from
the physics department are at-
tending the annual American
Physical Society meeting in Wash-
ington D.C.
Participating in the three-day
event, from Thursday through
Saturday are Professors James M.
Cork, H. R. Crane, David M. Den-
nison, Otto Laporte, Gordon E.
Uhlenbeck and Cyrus Levinthal,

and his feeling about the candi-
dates."
REGARDING the three major
divisions of the Center's work-
public affairs, economic behavior
and human relations, Prof. Camp-
bell is most interested in political
behavior.
"Political parties provide the
'structure' in most peoples' po-
litical thinking," he feels. "Pol-
itics is too complicated in this
country for the individual and
he needs a guide. Some authority
has to serve this function and
would rather see political par-
ties do this than other organi-
zations which are personally mo-1
tivated."
Trained as an experimental psy-I
chologist at Stanford University,I
Prof. Campbell taught at North-
western University where he met
his wife, Jean, who was one of his
students. In early 1942, he joined
the Division of Program Surveys
in the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
* * *
THE NUCLEUS of survey ex-
perts in the Division of Program
Surveys grew during the war years
as the Government's need for in-
formation become greater. After
the war the group decided to seek
sponsorship from a university.
"We had all come from uni-
versities," Prof. Campbell ex-
plained, "and felt anonymous
working in the Big Agriculture
Department. Also the govern-
ment restricted the scope of
what we wanted to do."
Today, the Center will only un-
dertake surveys that they feel are
socially useful and include the
freedom to publish the findings.
Concerning his interests out-
side of work, Prof. Campbell com-
mented "I have three children,"
then added, "I'm not one of those
who uses hobbies to escape my job
or to keep my sanity."

Saturday night, according to re-
ports from women at nine schools
scattered all over the country, is,
neither what it used to be or what
it should be.
Questionnaires sent to students
at Middlebury (Vermont), Smith
(Massachusetts), Cornell (New,
York), Denison (Ohio), Beloit
(Wisconsin), Carleton (Minneso-
ta), Bradford (Massachusetts)
Scripps (California) and Illinois
were returned with an almost un-
animous "No!" on the question,
"Is your campus' social life satis-
factory?"
OF A TOTAL of 72 women poll-
ed on all the campuses, only 22
are pinned or engaged. Fourteen
date regularly, 14 occasionally and
another 22 reported "we practical-
ly never go out."
Opinions of other students on
the dateless 22reveal "there's
no reason why those kids
shouldn't date-men are missing
out on some great girls who are
really worth taking out."
Reasons for the decline of week-
end social life are varied. A coed
at Scripps said, "After you stop
dating all the fellows you met at

the mixers in September, you have
trouble meeting any more. Ex-
change dinners and blind dates are
nothing but farces."
Apathy, according to a Beloit
student, is the chief cause of low'
social life there. "Nobody seems
to want to pair off," she wrote.
"Even Miss America came to our
campus this year, but do you think
any man would volunteer to take

To Be Given
An oriental dragon, a children's
wonderland and a man with a
"dumb" wife will all set the theme
for the speech department's fourth
laboratory bill of one-act plays at
8 p.m. Thursday and Friday inj
the Women's Athletic Building.
The program, which will be pre-
sented in an area staging, will in-
clude "The Dragon," by Wen Shun
T'ang, adapted from the Chinese
opera, "The Town of Mai Lung,"
Eva Le Gallienne's dramatization
of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Won-
derland," and "The Man Who
Married a Dumb Wife," by Ana-
tole France.

her out? No! You can imagine
where that leaves the rest of us."
* * *
FROM DENISON came another
complaint: "After four dates peo-
ple assume you're pinned or en-
gaged. Dating several people si-
multaneously is practically un-
heard of-you either go steady or
you don't date at all."
"There's no playing the field
here," agreed a Middlebury coed,
who is pinned: "If you're not
paired off right away you're
branded' as not worth consider-
ing. There's an attitude at sev-
eral small coed colleges," she
went on, "that girls are dull and
uninteresting-that the grass in
far-off places is much greener.
"There's a big difference, too,
in the admissions standards. Wom-
en have to have really good records
to get in, but most of the men here
are just rich playboys. What I
really think, is that in most col-
leges there's that group of really
great guys-the nicest ones-that
just never date," she added.
Most men students who don't
date often attributed their situ-
ation to money or study problems
-not to apathy. One said, "I
haven't got time to date. I'm in
pre-med and that takes all my
time. Women? They can come lat-
er."
