A more interpretive invest— igation of the survey is in progress and the results of this will appear later. Most of the replies to the final question in the survey were extensive and detailed. A summary of these, with selections, will also be -published. Collators: Bonnie MacPherson Jon Thompson Total replies: 130 1. Is you agezunder 21 51% 21 or over 40% 2.
