Bush Jeans Campus Women Are Typical Aggies By LAURA BLUNK Aggies are noted for their middle-of-the-road attitudes and their rather passive responses to attempts at change. Apparently, Aggie coeds are no different from their male counterparts. This is the conclusion of a survey taken of coeds by head resident advisors of Krueger- Dunn and graduate students Betsy Price and Mary Ann Gleucke. The survey, done for Educa tional Psychology 669, entitled The College Student, required that some aspect of undergradu ate life be observed and presented to the class for criticism. The topic selected was Women’s Atti tudes About A&M and a Woman’s Role in the World at Large. A one-page questionnaire was placed in all the dorm mail boxes and either occupant could answer the ten questions. Frequently both girls responded and they were often at opposite ends of the scale. While the population was pri marily freshmen, differences in attitudes and values were con sistent with major course of study, mother’s occupation and the girl’s classification. Out of the 45 per cent that responded to the questionnaire, 82 per cent were very middle of the road or undecided about their roles, depending on the way one looks at the issues. Women in the colleges of Sci ence and Engineering were defi nitely more Women’s Lib than their sisters in the other colleges. The College of Liberal Arts was closely divided between the lib bers and those who are unsure of their position. Coeds from towns between 100,000 to 500,000 were the most liberal. When a girl’s mother was a career woman, the daugh ter tended to be a straight-down- the-line Women’s Liberationist. While this would seem to con tradict the leading statements made earlier, there are about 3 per cent of the feminine popu lace who are undecided. Less than 25 per cent of the coed population is strongly Women's Lib, leaving the rest of the girls with a more even- tempered outlook. The two-per centers bought the apple pie and motherhood myth in its entirety. One wonders how two women of such diverse natures can live to gether, but they do. While these are only rough esti mates of the final results, there were some very interesting ten dencies noted among women with respect to their classification. Freshmen had the greatest di versity of opinion, while the upperclassmen had a more homo geneous range of thought, tend ing to be more liberal. While this is basically a func tion of the population sample it self, it may also mean that many of the enrolled freshmen do not stay in school. Sophomores were interested in getting ahead in their field for what the job would do for them personally, rather than how much they could improve the state of the world. Juniors wanted to graduate and travel. On the whole, seniors didn’t bother to turn in their questionnaires. Price and Gleucke concluded the latter group was too busy trying to graduate to do anything else. Douglas Jewelry 212 N.
