By William Darby Surv'ey StaffWriter . " One day the week before last, when I was trying to d~de what to write'about for the first issue ofthe semester, I was reading a previous issue ofThe Messen~er wherein a nationwide poll ofthe attitudes ofcollege students on a few major issues ofthe day was reprinted. I read the short piece with interest, and then had an idea: perhaps a similar poll ofour community here at RWC could be interesting. I thought that such a project would give us a chance to look at o~selvesand how we feel about Some issues ofmajor significance to all ofus. This project will be a departurefrom the usual format ofEvents in Review, which is a Commentary on major issues. The results ofthis poll will simply be printed in the next'edition ofthe column with ~o commentary; it will simply be an opportunity-for us to examine our attitudes toward the'se critical issues. :--Future columns mayinclude commentary on some ofthese issues orissues related to them, butthis is only because theyhave alreadybeen planned. They will not be influenced by the results ofthe poll. Respondents may~ answer My ofthe questions they wish and need not answer all ifthey wish not to. "I ask only thatno one vote more than once; the pollis~onyinous,therefore we will notbe able to "attain any degree ofaccuracy ifthis occurs. Additionally, I have separated respondents' into three categories: students, faculty, and administration/staff; I thought it mjeh.t be .valuable for us to compare attitudes among these different groups in our community.
