A survey of the opinions of 546 individuals, constituting slightly less than 10% of the full-time M S's at the U of Texas in Apr 1952, indicates that att's toward segregation are affected to a highly signif extent by environmental factors. The ?'s involved concerned the desirability of segregation at various levels of the educ'al system, from elementary to graduate. Approval of segregation in every respect was indicated by only 6% of R's; 26% favored the abolition of segregation in all circumstances. A comparison of the 'tolerant group', composed of those hostile to segregation on all levels, & the 'intolerant group', composed of those who expressed strong disapproval of mixed classes except on the graduate & professional level, indicated that there was a direct relation between the % of Negroes in the region from which each S came & his att toward segregation, those from the regions containing the most Negroes being most intolerant. S's in educ, soc sci & the humanities were found to be more tolerant than those in business, engineering, & natural sci. Fraternity men were more tolerant than those belonging to no fraternity. Very frequent church-goers, & those completely detached from religion, were more tolerant than those who attended church occasionally. Those who had already attended a mixed class, or worked in non-segregated conditions, were more tolerant than those who had never had such experience. Finally, those who knew of the Supreme Court decision of 1950 were more tolerant than those who professed ignorance of it. IPSA.
