Remembering this feature's rather short and inglorious past, the Thresher reminds you that the opinions expressed herein are not necessarily those of anyone except the writer.) Last week I noticed that some Wiessman had brought up some very important questions about the validity of the recent coed college poll. I agreed with them that all the other colleges neglected their responsibilities in canvassing their members and, frankly, not enough people were asked. If those in charge had used the methods pioneered by LBJ's campaign team in 1948, they could have produced a return of 101%, 113%, or even 120%. With these possible figures, you can see that a ninety-one percent rate was wholly inadequate. Survey polls and the like merely show the strides human intelligence has made in decision-making. The ancients, in plotting the course of future actions, would read chicken threshing-it-out .=• • entrails. The poll is quicker, more accurate, and, not to be forgotten, less messy.
