No Social Problems

Thirty-four (35%) of the fourth year women
students surveyed indicated that the first year
women would have no problems at the
University socially. Most of the thirty-four felt
that the men-women ratio would be so good
that the women would have a grand time.

Thirty-one (32%) other fourth year
students, indicated, however that the first year
women would have a difficult time, socially,
because of the male students' attitudes toward
women. An additional 31 respondents felt that
the greatest problem first year women face next
year will be adjusting to the social environment
of the University, the drinking and sexual
behavior in particular. One fourth-year student
wrote, "the first year women will have a
difficult time adjusting to the drinking and to
the 'work' that the men expect of the women."
