The correct quote Diwid Etchison, Richard Cramer, asso- should have read, "That's the idea of cite professor of sociology, was incor- workfare." The DTH regrets the error. By DAVID ETCHISON Staff Writer The results of the 1990 Carolina Poll indicate wide respect for UNC-Chapel Hill among state citizens and provide encouragement to professors who en gage in research. Participants in the poll were asked, "If you had a son of college age who could enter any college or university in the United States, and you had enough money to send him ... to which college or university would you most want him to go?" Out of the 595 persons responding, 26 percent picked UNC, 7 percent chose N.C. State University (NCSU) and 39 percent selected some other school, while 19 percent indicated that they would be happy with any school. The same question was asked with regard to a daughter instead of a son. The results were similar: UNC, 25 percent; NCSU, 7 percent; some other school, 39 percent; and any school, 19 percent. Respondents were also asked to give their opinions on the quality of educa tion at UNC. Twenty-eight percent rated it one of the best, and 39 percent ranked it as above average. A rating of about Carolina average was given by 17 percent of the participants, while 1 percent said the quality was below average. "It does show that there's a very positive perception among the public at large about what is going on at UNC Chapel Hill," said Tony Strickland, assistant director of undergraduate admissions. "There's a big residue of good will toward the University and its programs. A lot of it has to do with the conduct of University programs. I think the whole image of the University is generally very positive." But Strickland was concerned that the makeup of the "other school" cate gory was not known, warning that it might contain a school that outstripped UNC in the poll. In addition, he felt that mentioning UNC by name may have drawn more attention to it. Participants were also asked to ex press their opinions concerning the usefulness of research done by profes sors. The poll asked: "Some people say that when professors are involved in research, their teaching is ben . . Oth ers say that research takes the professor's time and energy away from teaching. Which opinion is closest to yours?" Sixty-six percent of those respond ing thought that research had a positive effect on a professor's teaching, and 23 percent said that it took away from it. Only 46 percent of respondents had completed at least one year of college. John Kasson, professor of history, said his research positively affected his teaching. "The answer is sure, no question," he said. "I try to show them (his stu dents) what historians do, not just read ing what historians tell you." "If you don't refill the bottle, it gets empty," Robert Bain, professor of American literature, said about research. "You don't have to publish everything. You can take it (information gained from research) into the classroom and share it with the students." "Both statements are correct," said James Wilde, economics professor. Wilde said time spent researching does take away from time spent preparing for class, but research can also increase the quality of the education receivectinC the classroom. Nt The poll also examined how import tant people consider research in varvj ous fields to be. Sixty-six percent sajdt agricultural research was very impor tant, while 88 percent thought medical research was very important, and 59 percent gave the same consideration to research in economic development. ; ' The percentages decrease whefr people are asked about research in the humanities, although the majority 'of respondents still give this type some degree of importance. Only 33 percent consider historical studies very impor tant, and the same value is placed on studies of literature by 30 percent of the people. "Research in humanities is impor tant," Bain said. "What's practical and pragmatic gets ranked higher." ' Wilde agreed. "They see it as more of a pocketbook issue, I'm sure." He said he thought it was harder for people to see the subtle benefits of the humahi ties, because the humanities don't "have an obvious direct impact on them (the people)." As an example, he said that studying history can help us learn frorh mistakes we have already made. :ft:fi"::: CARDS SOMETHING for EVERYONE A- CARD FOR ANY PERSON ANY OCCASION .'
