Computer Analysis

Final analysis of the
questionnaire will also be done
largely by computer, including
a cross-tabulation of answers to
insure accurate interpretation.

At least a preliminary
analysis should be ready by
March 1 in time for spring
funding hearings, Mr. Sabato
said.

Some more specific
questions include whether the
Gay Student Union should
receive funds, whether Cavalier
Daily staff members should
receive salaries paid from the
SAF, and whether Student
Council and Student Activities
funds should be used to
sponsor membership in such
organizations as the National
Student Lobby and the
National Student Association.

"One of the most telling
portions of the questionnaire
asks the student which ten
organizations he thinks are
most deserving of funds and
which ten are the least
deserving," Mr. Sabato
explained.

"We also ask the student
what single organization he
would consider most worthy of
funding and which he would
consider the least worthy."

"These responses will
provide the most basic
information to guide us in the
spring allocations hearings," he
said.
