N. Y. U. surveys students
on protest and drugs
Buffalo, N. Y. — (I.P.) —
While students, faculty and
administrative staff personnel
of the State University of New
York at Buffalo are favorable
to change and innovation, most
are moderate in- their outlook
on major campus issues.
A preliminar>’ analysis of a
University-wide survey conduct
ed during a three month period
last Spring by the University’s
Surv'ey Research Center yield
ed the general finding.
Consisting of nearly 60 ques
tions concerning 13 key areas
of University issues, the Sur
vey was intended to provide
University decision - makers
with accurate information for
consideration in formulation of
policies.
Most members of the Univer
sity community disagreed with
the use of extreme tactics in
canipu:, protest , v.’hile suppor;-
ing a ‘ tough stance" against
the use and distribution of hard
drugs.
Only two protest tactics were
favored by the majority of the
students: the use of petitions
and protest rallies. Picketing
and boycotting were viewed in
a “mildly positive manner,”
while building takeovers, dis
ruption of classes and meet
ings, and destruction of prop
erty drew highly negative re
sponses from most students in
terviewed.
The faculty similarly viewed
petitions and rallies as the on
ly favorable tactics, while ad
ministrators supported only the
u e of petitions.
The most significant cause
of iiivclvement in protest ac
tivities v.as reaction to admin-
i trative actions such as calling
in the police. While the stud
ents did not view any adminis
trative re-ponse to protest fav
orably, the least unfavorable
wa.s the suggestion that the ad-
r
ministration warn students in^
volved in disturbances that they
face internal discipline.
Students generally blamed
“outside influences” for the
problems of drugs, theft and
vandalism. To solve the prob
lem, 20 percent of the faculty,
22.1 per cent of students and
33 per cent of the administra
tion supported a policy of ex
cluding outsiders. Twenty-five
per cent of students favored
use of student security guards.
All three groups favored
strict law_enforcement by all
pertinent agencies, including
the courts and the University,
with regard to hard drugs on
campus. A majority of facul
ty, students and staff also fav
ored University - supported
programs such as a drug crisis
center, a community - wide drug
attack, more research, the ex
pansion of existing drug pro
grams and the arrest of push
ers.
On the issue of soft drugs,
however, aittitudies diverge.
Students favored a drug crisis
center, educational programs,
research on workable drug ap
proaches and expansion of ex
isting drug programs in the
metropolitan Buffalo area. They
agree with a majority of the
faculty in opposing stricter en
forcement of laws dealing with
soft drugs.
Faculty are neutral on a soft
drug crisis center and on the
arrest of soft drug pushers. Ad
ministrators reject the idea of
a soft drug crisis center; on all
the other options offered on the
subject, they are neutral or
slightly in favor.
The random sample of the
University community used for
the survey included 300 stud
ents, 100 faculty members and
100 staff participants.
