And mighty interesting, too. Interesting enough that Jack Godley and Max Hagood, UNC stu dents faced with the task of writ ing a term paper for, a Psycholo gy 125 class, decided to combine their talents and see what some male undergraduates here thought about various aspects of the ques tion. The two students generalized on the basis of their survey that "it would appear that integration is slightly favored." Their report is condensed as follows: "The May, 1954, decision of the United States Supreme Court, which in effect put an end to racial segregation in our system of public education, set in motion problems which will affect all of us. , NOTHING NEW "Integration on the college level is nothing new. It has already been put into operation at the University of North Carolina, giv- ; "Because -we do believe that the question of integration is one in which all of us are involved or will be involved, we have at tempted to discover in this study just what the opinion of the male undergraduate student at Carolina is on this subject. "We have attempted to dis cover the facts and report them without trying to explain why they are as they are. We sought to conduct this survey as impar tially as possible, without in fluencing the results or revealing our own personal opinions on the subject in, any way. PERTINENT "The questions which we asked were those we believed to be most pertinent and which we felt would reveal the student body opinion best. We conducted the survey by having students fill out a mimeographed questionnaire consisting of four questions, with a fifth question for members of fraternities. "We kept the questionnaire as short as possible for two reasons. One, we felt that the majority of 4 Jf - .is. - ing rise to much discussion among the students polled would : be the students, both pro and con. , more willing to participate in the if A V ; a- V a Negro undergraduate in UNC swimming class INTEGRATION AT PHYSICAL EDUCATION -3 V i V V: V r'. 1 V i 'Vl" j" YWCA President and Vice President Nominees .

Others are (left to right) Misses Jackie Aldridge, - . for presi survey if the questionnaire were limited to a few relevant ques tions. "Two, in order to assure that we would get the questionnaire back, we kept them short enough so that we could wait for them to be filled out and collected immediately. On the average, our questionnaire took about two minutes to complete. "We surveyed a total of 487 men. This included 265 non-fraternity and 222 fraternity men. The last group was made up of members of social, honorary, business and service fraternities. Each subject was asked to supply the following information: "(1) His age. "(2) His class (year in school). "(3) !s he a veteran. "(4) His home state. "(5) If . he is a church member. "By each question, the numbers one through five were listed. The subjects were requested to an swer each question by circling the number best describing their feel ings on that particular question. The number key was as follows: "(1) Very much in favor. "(2) Approve. "(3) Indifferent. "(4) Oppose. "(5) Very much in. opposition. "It was previously stated that our aim in making this survey was merely to, report the facts of student opinion regarding this question. However, we would like to make one or two general observations. "With the exception of question number two (and question num ber five in the fraternity group), most of the results hit around the mid-point, without extreme re actions at cither end. There seemed to be about as much op position as there was approval. A noticeable difference in the percentage of veterans voting number five (very much in op position) was observed. "If one could generalize on the attitude of those surveyed on the integration question alone (ques tion number one), it would appear that integration is slightly fa vored. It further appears that the attitude tends to be more or less in those areas not affecting the individual to a great extent, while extreme opposition exists in tho-e areas where the individual is greatly affected."
