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.
