Senate survey of students still in works

Telephone surveyors still are trying to reach about 100 students to complete a comprehensive student survey. The data will be used by Student Senate next fall.
The survey was supposed to be completed by the time Student Senate elections were finished, which was about two weeks ago.
But Mike Gaughan, survey center supervisor, said surveying 500 students was not as easy as it might seem. He said that small delays in the process forced researchers to start calling students after the elections instead of before.
"If everybody answered the
phone and wanted to do the survey, it would go pretty quickly," Gaughan said.
Chris Horak, research assistant, said the names of graduate, undergraduate and law students were chosen randomly. Then, she said, between five and eight attempts were made to reach the student and complete the survey.
"The sampling thing is pretty complex because there are criteria for including or excluding," Horak said.
The survey asks students about their satisfaction with Student Senate and their interests in state and local politics. It also asks them to prioritize a list of campus issues.
Marlon Marshall, student body vice president-elect, said he and
"I always want to hear their concerns and take them into account to see which direction Student Senate should be going."

student body president-elect Ben Walker would not know how Senate would use the results until they were published.
"I always want to hear their concerns and take them into account to see which direction Student Senate should be
going." Marshall said.
Horak said she did not know when the data would be compiled and reported, but she said the information could be used by Senate in the fall.
Although the survey was tested for readability before Student Senate elections April 12 and 13. Horak said the survey had been in the field only since the elections.
Even though no questions were asked about the elections in the survey, Horak said recent campaigns might have improved responses.
"My gut feeling is that it was a good time," Horak said. "I think it worked in our favor in that students were thinking about issues important to them."
