Editing Class
Hears Connelly
Gordon Connelly, public opinion
research worker who spoke to the
senior editing class in journalism
Friday on the subject of public opin
ion, said, “I didn’t prepare for this
field, I just stumbled into it.”
Connelly, an Oregon journalism
graduate of 1938, is here doing re
search work on the attitudes toward
industrial affairs for the University
©f Denver, national opinion research
center.
Co-op Founder
One of the original founders of
the cooperative living organizations
while he attended the University,
Connelly was also sports editor of
the Oregana one year, a member of
Sigma Delta Chi, men’s national
professional journalism fraternity,
and an Emerald worker.
After graduating, Connelly
worked for a year as a reporter on
the Gresham Outlook before going
east to begin his work in public re
search. He has been with the Uni
versity of Denver in that capacity
since 1942.
Relationship Stressed
In connection with his work, Con
nelly said, “I believe the most im
portant point is the relationship to
democracy shown by the agencies
measuring opinion in foreign coun
tries.”
On the whole, these agencies are
independent in the foreign coun
tries, except an occasional one
which is connected with the Gallup
polls, he added. Their work is to
find out what people know, what
they don’t know, and what they
want.
Denver Offers Course
“Students don't have to just
stumble into the field now,” he con
tinued. “At.present the University
of Denver is offering courses in
public opinion research with de
grees in the field.”
On his present trip, Connelly is
working with Miss Anne Schuetz,
graduate in journalism from Creigh
ton university.

These shirts just don’t make
sense (except in warmth). The
pictures are absolutely wacky—
but somehow you are sure to
like these pixie polo shirts.
They’re made of fine combed
cotton, and cut full for easy,
comfortable fit. Easy to take
care of too—just rinse out . . .
no ironing necessary. Sizes
