Survey of Freshmen Finds a Decline in Support for Abortion and Casual Sex.
Reisberg, Leo
Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n21 pA47,A50 Jan 29 1999
Annual Higher Education Research Institute college freshman survey (n=275,811) at 469 institutions found more eschew political extremes, preferring to call themselves "middle of the road." About half believe abortion should be legal, a decline of 14% since 1990. Freshman did not seem as interested in coursework as they did in previous years, but seemed more interested in community service. (MSE)
