Racial And Political Attitudes Among Appalachian State University Students

A study was made of selected attitudes of the undergraduate students on the campus of Appalachian State University during the Spring quarter, 1971. The data were collected by a random sample mail survey of the students using a questionnaire that included attitude scales on various aspects of basic democratic concepts. In addition, there were questions relating to the use of the song "Dixie" and the Confederate flag in an effort to discover whether they function as racist symbols.
