Advertising Feature PreliminaryCollegeStudentSurvey Resu Its after the Strike As the faculty member who proposed this survey about student reactions, I would like to thank all those people who helped make it work. In particular, I would like to thank the 730 students who volunteered to take part in this research. The final results are not yet established. But based on the first 457 surveys, I can offer some preliminary results which I consider interesting. Althoug fonns were distributed all over the campus, three quarters of the completed surveys were from university transfer students. The reactions to the dispute were quite variable and over 36% could not be classified into the categories outlined below. Nevertheless, the percentages are worth noting. How did your response compare to the following? Percent Category of Reaction to the Dispute

27.1 "luted too long" 23.9 "upset, worried, atl'8888d, anxious" 23.4 "felt used, sacrificed, unfair to students" 19.9 "supported faculty position" 19.3 "angry at both sides" 16.6 "confused, too little Information" 16.2 "depressed, lost motivation" 11.4 "accepted It, Indifferent" 10.1 "angry at administration" 9.0 "concerned about other students" 8.3 "angry at faculty" 6.8 "It was nice break at first" 2.8 "happy to be back In school" The percents add up to more than 100 because many students wrote about more than one reaction to the dispute. There was a reliable difference in week day sleep during the dispute (9.47 hours on average) compared to before (8.62 hours on average) . .There was no reliable difference in classroom seat selection after the dispute which suggests that coming back was not like starting a new class. Also there was no reliable difference in the number of courses enroledinthisterm(average3.48)andthenumberofcoursesthatwillbeenroledinnextterm(average3.37). Ontheratingscales93.3%oftherespondents reported that their studies at the college were worthwhile. This rating was related to their ratings of increased interest in learning, their ratings of· and their rated involvement on campus (this pattern is similar to that found in previous surveys using the same questions). These findings suggest to that the respondents coped rather well with a somewhat stressful life event, the strike. One of the aims of the survey was to assist in that coping encouraging students to express their feelings in writing. One respondent put it best: "My point is this, I am able to express my .feelings to faculty in indirect way and this makes me feel slightly better in my attitude towards this college in general." On a more cautionary note, these results only describe the reactions of student volunteers who coped with the dispute and returned to class. The eacnoJlSII of those did not return and those who did not volunteer remains unknown. In the spring a comprehensive analysis of the all the surveys will be
