"This last question is terribly ambiguous. What is a minority religion? Catholicism? Perhaps it is anything that is not White Anglo-Saxon Protestantism."
Prof. Cuzzort said opinion polling by its very nature requires questions to be very carefully designed. He said he did not think much consideration had been given the questions in the HRC questionnaire.
"Any person who has worked with questionnaires," he continued, "knows about pre-testing. By first taking a small sample to check the clarity of the questions you are able to get a better result when you take the final poll."

Eberhart Says ASC Wants Track Untouched
The out-going student body president claims that a majority of the All Student Council members favor a stadium seating expansion.
Max E. Eberhart, Great Bend senior and past student body president, said that the Athletic Board of directors has three proposed alternatives for an expanded stadium. They are to enclose the horseshoe, build a second tier on the west side, or replace the track with seats.
"I think a majority of the ASC members are against the plan for removal of the track," said Eberhart.
"Personally, I am in favor of building a second deck. I've been told that enough supports and fittings can be built under the stadium to easily hold it."
Another suggestion for expansion and the removal of the track has been made by Jerry Palmer, El Dorado senior and recent chairman of the ASC. He pointed out that football which is the financial backbone of the athletic program, would benefit by the removal of the track for expansion.
Disagreeing, Eberhart said he thought his own feelings in favor of keeping the track reflected the feelings of most of the ASC members. He said an expansion would be profitable, but it does not necessitate the removal of the track.
