Fifty-six per cent believe that the essay best tests a student’s knowledge of the subject matter, 29 per cent voted for the objective test, and 15 per cent thought there was no difference. On the question, “Do you think that a student in the University should or should not get married before graduation?” 59 per cent thought that it depended upon the individuals. Nine per cent thought students should marry and 32 per cent thought they should not.

The poll was primarily designed to indicate methods of polling to the students. The twelve members of the class have polled approximately 150 students during the last few days. A random sample was picked from the Pigger’s Guide on the basis of year in the Univer sity, major, and sex. The percentages on state and na tional question which were also asked will be available later in the week, Price said.
