| Abstract | A four-year examination of the freshman class entering Shippensburg State College in 1970 was made to chart the impact of college on a group of students. Almost 90 percent of the freshman class was initially administered the survey during the pre-school Freshman Orientation Program. A sophomore year retest was given to 75 percent of the sample class, and the final retest was mailed to all former members of the class, with a 60 percent return. The following conclusions were drawn: (1) Females are important factors in the class response patterns, with their conservative opinions overshadowing the more radical and liberal male views. (2) There is a peak of liberalization of political philosophy that begins to ebb two years after matriculation. (3) By the final testing there is no longer evident any automatic matching of political party, philosophy, and issue. (4) Males, in contrast to females, through the senior year of testing show a decrease in agreement with parents' political views. (5) There remains a strong, continuous conservative orientation in class responses. (6) Home and dormitory residents are more conservative in outlook than students living off-campus. (7) Curriculum major correlates with attitude, with liberal attitudes more evident among arts and science and business administration students. (Author/LBH) |
